No real other place to put this:

N.Y. Times puts kibosh on most uses of 'tweet' - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ynews/20100610/ts_ynews/ynews_ts2521)

I really don't get the tweeting thing. I have never tweeted or read a tweet unless it wa posted here in a post. Who cares WTF someone is doing.
