This makes me feel so old. I was just going to ask you, what's up with the twittering? How is it different from texting? I didn't get the answer from the movie. I didn't quite follow the movie. and what is TED. There were sev TED shorts on wimp.com which was a great way to while away some time. :-)

Twitter is different than texting, because when you text someone, it's generlly a one-to-one text message. From one person to one other person. Twitter is different because people can subscribe to your twitter messages (tweets) that are limited to 140 characters. They can choose whether they receive the message on their cell phone as a text message, or as an email. So, it's a lot different.
