For those of my friends, and there are many, who have not yet embraced the idea of Twitter, they all say one thing: "What's the point?"
"What do you mean," I reply, "there are tons of uses for Twitter."
"But why," they would argue, "would anyone want to read about someone eating toast or going to the bathroom?"
Is this the true face of Twitter? Just a bunch of meaningless jibber-jabber? A whole lot of garbage floating around the internet?
I see something more.
I realize there are plenty of great tweets posted to Twitter, but ever since I discovered www.longestpoemintheworld.com, I now know that even the most mundane or ridiculous post can be turned into something more.
Here's a sample:
"And She Looses Herself Inside The Bass And The Movement
And yes, overall, that's a visual improvement."
By themselves, these tweets are rather bland, but when put together in a stanza, they are transformed into a literary art.
This gets me thinking.
What if there was a way to take "crap" from the internet and turn it all into something that would make people want, feel, think, change, question?
