Unbosomed Solipsism Alert

This new Twitter thing is in possession of a staggering amount of unbosomed solipsism. In case you don't know, you're supposed to answer the question, "What you you doing?". 

Indeed, many people use it like this and, mundanely, simply tell you what they're having for breakfast or that they're about to do a wash. Here's an example today from the famous film director, David Lynch, whose movies never fail to challenge and intrigue.

Good morning everyone. It's Wed, Feb. 25, 2009. Here in LA, hazy blue skies, muted golden sunshine and a very slight breeze. 55°F 13°C.

Yes, very good David. 

The dictionary definition of "solipsism" seems to sum up this type of Twittering very well indeed.

Sometimes, though, Twitter can be good. When the above question is ignored in favour of "What are you thinking?" it gets better. You get poetic Twittering like this from a Raqhun:

A misty, messy morning in the woods of Waldeck, but the Moon shines clear above the mist, and the birdbath's unfrozen

I've watched these woods swell from icy barestick Imbolg to green riotous Walpurgis 62 times, and each time seems more precious, miraculous.

Untidy spring snowdusting half melted. Moonlight and dawnglow cast double shadows on pied forest floor.

Bit pretentious for you? What about this Alan Carr guy though. He's a comedian, I believe.

He don't care 'bout nobody but hisself.
