Amit,
you have complemented the image very well, with very few text. Thats mordern literature, I guess..

Vivid illustration,labnol.
I still don’t know how to use twitter well, I am following you now. :)

Hi iWalk,

Generally in mails, orkut and in other tools we write something to others and expect the reply.

But in twitter we write “What we are doing”. at the same time we can know about what others doing?

Twitter Theam is “What are you doing”.

you can see the very good demo from link and “Twitter usage in different ways” using Amit articles

HIlarious illustration. Thank you for bringing some humor to the tragic fact that we’re losing our ability to concentrate and think deeply.

Twitter is annoying….

As for blogging it is now the tool of choice of main stream media. I still hold hope in blogging for causes but blogging as media is reduced to nothing more than noise.

Your cartoon should make it apparent but many simply won’t get it.
