Forgive me for my self indulgence here… but when you crack yourself up, sometimes you have to go with it. So yesterday on my way home from Houston [doesn't driving always conjure up the coolest ideas] I had this funny thought about all the Twitter-ific and Tweet-oriented sites popping up and this came to my mind.
And that started my mind running amok. [Not such an unusual occurence for me.]
By the end of an hour, I had registered about 10 twitter joke domains, including the hub:
What possessed me? What giggle bone in my brain got triggered and cost me $100+ and an hour or so of my time? Well, I was tickled.
And the final kicker was the twitter account itself. Did you know you cannot register a twitter user name with the word "twitter" in it? I did not. So I settled on @hottwiitertips [less than 24 hours to shut my tweet account down. Hmmm. I guess they are paying attention to jokers.] to bridge the concept of humor, porn, spam and smacktalk on twitter. If the page is gone, then they have thought my jokes were not funny. But I think it's too small a world for the Twitter 5 to worry about me. They've got lots bigger things to worry about. And since according to WOMMA they've got Google running scared [WTF] I am certain the joke is on me somehow.
So that's it. A fun post. No content just filler.
It's just where I am on De-Dell week #2! Happy and free as a bird on twitter.

WOMMA Article Excerpt: Does Twitter Threaten Google?
Google's ubiquitous presence in popular culture is undeniable; it's even an accepted dictionary verb now. More to the point, Google's search share is now approaching 85 percent, an unbelievably high percentage of internet search traffic.
So what might cause Google's fall from grace? Lew Moorman thinks Twitter is a legitimate threat. His reason:
Twitter has value as a niche search engine today. Who cares? No one really. But, there is more. Twitter is building a human powered search indexing engine. It is an engine that will build better results than any rules based index and has gotten millions of people super motivated to contribute for free every day (even though they don't know it).
