Taking a hard look at the Twittersphere

From the same cartoon that explained what Twitter is, comes a video exploring what Twitter has become—a virtual echo chamber for "Hollywood narcissism."

"Remember when trucker hats were cool?' The video's voice of reason asks. "And remember what killed them?" (Ashton Kutcher, the guy with over 1 million Twitter followers.)



Funny stuff. Watch for the surprise ending. And now I'm going to tweet about it.

The problem with quick serve restaurants is the vast, unbridgeable gap between marketing and operations. So while Roger here is effusive about the results of the promotion and tells us that we are going to have a great in-store experience, that simply is not true. Hourly works will be surly, some franchisees will still not be participating and customers will continue to be annoyed.

Is it overkill killed the radio star, so to speak? Whatever it is, I've blogged on it, too. Guess we're all guilty.

Thank you for saying what a lot of people are thinking. In the long run, who the heck cares what Oprah or Ashton thinks or says anyhow?
