Apparently the GWBI supermarket scanner story is a hoax. I stand by the rest of what I said. We see new examples every day.

I’m not going to read it as I think both participants are a few beers short of a six-pack but…

You would think the “geniuses” at Twitter, having seen their product used this way a few thouse and times by now, would invent an interface trick to allow the text to be read in chronological order.

Watching these “stars” of news and politics try and use new technologies is like watching GWB The First encounter a supermarket scanner for the first time.

How will they embarrass themselves next?

Also, aside from how bad Twitter is at one-on-one communications, I never want to be interviewing a politician if there’s a chance that it’s not actually that politician typing the answers.

On a phone interview, even if he’s being fed every answer from someone sitting right behind him, there’s still a chance that he’ll slip up and say something.
