Now on Twitter
Okay, I’ve decided to give it a try: you can now follow F&T on Twitter.
The psychology behind Twitter is, I believe, best summed up in James Joyce’s story, “A Painful Case” (published in Dubliners, 1914). The story’s character, Mr James Duffy, is described in this way:
“He lived at a little distance from his body, regarding his own acts with doubtful side-glances. He had an odd autobiographical habit which led him to compose in his mind from time to time a short sentence about himself containing a subject in the third person and a predicate in the past tense.”
oh no not you too...
he observed this change of heart with wry amusement
Followed...
You go Mr Duffy. Don't listen to the other voices, just the ones in your head.
I tried it for about a half-n-hour . . .
eh, all good naysayers, quiet. Dubliners is lovely.
dump twitter. for the sake of your soul.
Going to the dark side 140 characters at a time.
