You Got me, Darren... Thank God
Apparently I lack a certain awareness of the International Dateline. I also forget how crazy those blokes play Down Under. Darren Rowse's announcement of PayPerTweet is nothing but an April Fool's joke, and it seems that I am that Fool.
I am happy and relieved to feel the whispered "Gotcha" over the Internet. I'd rather get caught in a joke than see what such an awful idea could do to Twitterville. My fear now, is that somebody with greater greed than jest in his/her heart has looked at this and gone "hmmm..."
i owe you one Darren.
You are in good company... there were many ranting and raving on twitter about it earlier today!
Darren ruled on this one!
He played into our biggest fears!

That is my fear too. Someone will actually run with this and ruin twitter.

thanks for taking it in a good spirit :-)
It's bound to happen though!

No shame in gettin' got on Twitter, shel. Real time, we all get faked out sometimes.

This is badass. I read about these 2 posts from a Loren Feldman "tweet." Good times. :)

So Tim, What do you see that's "badass?"

Really?
Is this all actually happening?
Am I in one of those long fever dreams where you swear you're actually a bit player on SNL?
