Twitter has become my latest obsession. I joined a whole three days ago, around the same time as I started this blog, and it is a source of constant fascination, amusement, and morbid curiosity. What kind of magic is this, I find myself thinking, that one gets to practically spy on willing figures such as Stephen Fry, Russell Brand, Joss Whedon, and of course Snooki from Jersey Shore?
I soon learned that Twitter is also a devil's playground when it comes to the original and truest purpose of the internet - porn. People, you can follow adult film stars. Voyeuristic thrills abound.
And it's something of a pick-up ground. Within minutes of joining Twitter, I was "followed" by several exotic sounding women, none of whom had a single tweet to their name. Prostitutes, I would imagine. And there also seems to be a thriving, incestuous community of gay men. Needless to say, I was in my element.
This afternoon, I decided to avoid my work for a little while and indulge in a little harmless surfing. I was browsing one particularly attractive gentleman's Twitter feed, and followed a link he had posted to one of his TwitPics, unaware of what the #NSFW warning might refer to. Seconds later, a window opened with a close up of this lad's newly waxed anus. It was a very nice anus, I must admit, but I think I pulled a muscle in my hand trying to click the X button before anybody in the office could turn around and see what had made me audibly gasp. I then hastily Googled the term NSFW, only to find that it stands for "Not Safe For Work".
Better late than never.
