Beg to Differ is going to take a quick break from our greatest hits series today to reflect on a profound thought. We all love Dr. Seuss and Green Eggs and Ham right? Myself, this I’ve read the story to my kids fifty kajillion times. Which got me thinking. Sam I Am is a humourous little fella – in a book….

- Reply! Reply!Reply! Reply!
Oh could you, would you just reply?
No! No reply! No props! No links!
You cannot spell! Your grammar stinks!
Your thoughts are often just bizarre
You have a dorky avatar.
You tweet ten thousand times a day –
With never anything to say!
I would not sir if you ReTweet

I would not, could not, on TweetDeck.
Nor will I with another tech.

Not even Wikipedia
I’m anti-Social Media!

- Could you, would you, for free stuff?
No swag could ever be enough!
- Would you, could you, if they placed“
ReTweet” on Twitter’s Interface?
Excuse me?
- But when you clicked it you would find
These Tweets came out all deaf and blind
With no real chance to edit them
Then would you follow @SamEyeEm?
Um… no…
Where are you going with this?
- No room for context, irony
Or “Laugh-Out-Louds” oh you will see
How clean the new ReTweets can be.
And you don’t have to follow me.
Sorry?
- The best part of this brand new model:
If just one friend ReTweets my twaddle,
Ta da! I’m there within your stream!
No, no, what is this evil dream?!?!?
- So now it’s neither here nor there
Don’t follow me, I just don’t care.
I may be the biggest Twitterbator…
But I’ll still CU-L8r G8r
LOL. LMAO. ROFL.The end… or is it?
If you hate the new ReTweet feature on Twitter as much as we do, please read more in our Twiterloo post from last week to see what you can do about it.
Fight the DUM-RT!
(our term for the new “feature”)
Long live SMA-RT!
(the classic RT that works – rhymes with “party”, for your own poems.)
