Catpaw – diary of an angry cat

Did you know you can subscribe to FBI tweets? I kid you not, the FBI has a twitter feed. I played around with twitter about a year ago an quickly discarded it as a huge time sucking monster. Do we really care that so and so has a hang nail? Do we really want to see photos a brain dead celebrity took of his wife in her underwear? This is how inane twitter is. I refer to the endless entries as twitter droppings and twitter twaddle.

Now, back to the FBI and Twitter – two words I’m sure J. Edgar never envisioned … Um … Well on second thought maybe he did, but not quite like this. Don’t you wish we could get the minutes to the high level executive meeting that made the decision to put the FBI on twitter. Did they discuss how Twitter would make them hip and cool? Wow maybe they could use it as a recruiting tool! Did one if the execs chime in, “I’ll bet the terrorists don’t use Twitter! We’ll finally be ahead of them in the information game”.

One of their latest entries tells us we can be special agents for the FBI, just contact them for details. Oohhhhh. I’m all a-twitter with anticipation.

I have this wonderful image in my head of a couple if suit and ties sitting around their cubicles trying to decide what to put on twitted. “I know Bob, how about Osama wears pantyhose. No, no the Director is a card carring member of the ACLU.”

All cynical comments aside, they are posting a lot of useful info about missing children. Nice to see Twitter might have some good uses.

Stumble it!
