   I signed up for it many moons ago, but mainly for the purpose of being   
   allowed to look at other MySpace pages.   
      
   As for Twitter, I can tweet you right now - I'm working on the   
   computer, (trying to actually work instead of playing).  In 30 minutes   
   time, I'll tweet you again probably to say I'm working on the   
   computer.  Oh no, maybe I'll give an intermediate tweet to say I'm   
   making a cup of coffee.  And let us not forget the bathroom break...

   other everyday folk the mundanities of their everyday lives.
