That is sad but this story just makes twitter even more awesome. There is something about it, i cant really seem to understand why its so popular but its amazing.
I am pretty sure that because of twitter he will find a job in no time.
I'm blown away by your comment. I felt like the entire thing made the writer seem vacuous (or perhaps it's the medium and not the author that's the problem).
He was posting to his network of friends/subscribers and the columnist grabbed the thread and decided to show it to the world. Twitter is an odd medium, most people's audience is their friends, but then it is also a public forum. Like having a conversation through a megaphone in a crowded public park. Everyone can hear you, but it is still a chat with friends.
That line about people whispering because they are afraid to find out who is gone is fantastic. Perhaps it isn't Twitter, but the way journalists have been using it?
Naw man, I didn't mean it in that way. When you choose twitter as a medium to post those stories, you should know that the whole world can possibly read it. I am really confused where my comment thread is going...?
when i was wee lad i worked as a beantrees barista and shift manager at yahoo. prior to the move up north to sunnyvale, the cafes were located in the cafeteria/break room of each building and we also managed the multiple coffee stations on every floor.
we went through at least 20 gallons of milk each day per station and served quite a lot of lattes. the indian engineers loved the oregon chai tea, which was actually quite expensive compared to the espresso. at the end of the week we would report total costs and yahoo would just pay the bills, i think it was close to 100,000 a month.
most of us just took home extras, whip cream or coffee or milk.
