Tweeting Mom’s advice during foreplay!

The other day I asked my 17 year old niece if she would help with something on the interweb.  Sounding delighted, she said "Sure!"  I told her that I just signed up on Tumblr.  Her tone changed to sounding scared & annoyed as she simply said, "OK?"  After this, she probably deleted her account and began searching for another undiscovered frontier on the information superhighway.   Who can blame her.  If I was her age, I would be focused on getting as far away from any adult who still said "information superhighway" or the "interweb."

Luckily for my niece, that she still has a very hip uncle!  As you can see to the right of this blog, --->
I am very active on a bunch of social networks.  Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Tumblr, Foursquare, You Tube, Google+, MySpace & something called Carbonmade.   OK, so I am a bit narcissistic. 

Facebook is still the most popular social network, but I like how a mundane thought could be turned into comedy gold on Twitter.  At times, I just Tweet anything that is on my mind.  I get more political, goofy and random with my thoughts, then I do on any other social network.  Twitter totally reminds me of Larry King's column in the USA TODAY.

Here is a clip of Norm Macdonald, as Larry King reading the column, in a Saturday Night Live sketch.  This was done before Twitter...heck it was done even before Y2K.  Even though some thoughts by "Larry" would have maxed out the 140 character limit, I think that you get the point.

So with that in mind, I believe that I have been preparing for this column for a few years now.  At least, if you go with the idea that my tweets are worthy for a column.  Here are just a few of my tweets from over the years:
