Facebook communication has been in something of a precipitous decline over the past couple of months. This hasn't bothered me much, since it cut down on the number of invitations to naff applications. Barring those from the occasional late adopter, stumbling in energetically like someone arriving at a party just as dawn breaks, after the keg is empty and the remaining guests are either passed out on the floor, being sick in the bathroom or making out in the host's parents' bedroom.

So where did everyone go? They went to Twitter, it seems. I had to work myself up to join, since it seems like one more thing that will eat away my time and erode my already dormouse-like attention span. Plus I confess some months ago I actually wrote a short piece for Media disparaging Twitter as finally slicing content too small to be interesting. Silly me. In the modern era no content is too small to be interesting. That piece is destined to live on as one of those "just didn't get it..." moments. Thank god Media's content is subscription gated.

Or is it? The Facebook bubble is clearly deflating. Is Twitter just the lasted fashionable village to be sacked by a roving horde of digerati vandals? Or will it have bloglike legs? We'll find out, because after resisting heroically for a while, it's my turn to stumble into the party. Let's hope there are a few guests left.
