Dilbert Does Twitter

Scott Adams Dilbert comic provides a wickedly satirical view of life in cubespace. Dilbert, the geeky white-collar engineer, has discovered an ulterior use for Twitter — keeping up on the boss’ whereabouts. Go Dilbert!

Of course, you wouldn’t do that, would you? What creative uses of Twitter have you discovered?

Tax Irregularities and Twitter

Many bloggers turn their avocation into a part-time business, running a few ads to help defray their hosting costs and maybe even support their hobby. And, of course, for the tax deductions, as the Joy of Tech wickedly points out.

iPhone 3G Ass

A hat tip to the Joy of Tech for skewering the latest Jesus phone — the iPhone 3G S — available beginning Friday June 19th. And if you want the iPhone 3G (not ’s’), you’ll be able to pick one up from AT&T for $99 with a two year commitment.

I’m not eligible for a subsidized upgrade on my iPhone 3G, so I’ll be passing on this phone. What about you? If you own an older iPhone, will you be upgrading to the new 3G S?

Conan’s Twitter Tracker

What do you get when you combine over-the-top voice narration, celebrities, and Twitter? It’s Conan O’Brien’s Twitter Tracker.  Conan took over the reigns of the Tonight Show last week, and this segment pokes fun at the self importance of Twitter.

 Let’s hope Twitter Tracker becomes a recurring segment.

Sunday Funnies: Emoticon War

Communicating via instant messaging or text alone has challenges. You don’t get to read the body language or see the telling smirk on the other person’s face. And so emoticons were born — a shorthand code to help inject text messages with emotions. And thank god — without them this entire video would be irrelevant. 

Enjoy this week’s Sunday Funny: Emoticon War. Read more
