The Death of Twitter

When is it right or wrong to send a tweet? Is there a kind of silent Twitter etiquette? Well, for the sake of common sense, you should at least keep it out of the dinner table, your relative’s funeral and your bathtub (where an Austrian woman was electrocuted to death after attempting to tweet from her laptop).
Twitter is a word I hear about everyday. It’s on every news show, website, billboard…it’s stalking me everywhere I go! I knew the death of Twitter came when Oprah sent her first tweet in all caps:
HI TWITTERS . THANK YOU FOR A WARM WELCOME. FEELING REALLY 21st CENTURY .
She’s a powerful woman and all, but she is the queen of overexposing and hyping anything worth talking about. The weekend that followed after her show aired, 1.2 million new users signed on to Twitter.
There are two interesting words you can ooze out of ‘twitter.’ One being ‘wit’ and the other being ‘twit.’ From the times I’ve used the micro-blogging platform, I definitely felt like a nitwit.
