Stephen Fry on Twitter
However, I love to see your tweets: I love your wit, your kindness, your observation, your occasional mean streaks of bitchiness, remorseless logic and your long memories that pounce on my all too frequent inconsistencies and rashly made promises. I love how Twitter confirms my all too often assaulted belief that most humans are kind, curious, knowledgeable, tolerant and funny. The absurd constraints of the 140 character tweet seem oddly to bring out the best in wit, insight and observation.
I still don’t get Twitter (perhaps not having a cell phone and living in the sticks puts me at a disadvantage?), but Stephen Fry makes me want to keep trying. He’s the consummate Twitterer, it seems to me.
