Twitter Won’t Work (Kinda like Star Wars)

That’s another [2] FZ tune (from “Make a Jazz Noise Here” BTW: I was at the Mannheim show — I wore a yellow T-Shirt with “Do You Know What You Are?” stenciled on the back [and the unpronounceable title on the front]; wore it all over campus leading up to the show, too [and the “secret word” had something to do with “corn”] ;D) . It also applies to twitter.com — because twitter.com makes the same mistake google.com did: it’s “one-size, fits-all” (how is it that [2] FZ was able to predict so much of the malaise of the 21st Century many decades before the fact? — simply a genius, I guess).
Do I care what a million people think? No. I care what some people think — and I follow them (and it’s cool that twitter lets me do that) — but maybe I could do it without needing to have the opportunity to track “updates” from tons of people I don’t care about. Do I want Michael Jackson to be able to track me? Um, well — I really don’t care. Do I want “track” him? No, not really. I think maybe he’s cool and all that, but I really couldn’t care less.
Community means there is some shared element — what do I share with the people on twitter.com? Maybe the same stuff I share with the people on google.com?
