Bollum: You really must join twitter.com
Barbara: Really? I don’t even know what it is.
Bollum: You don’t? I’m shocked.
Barbara: Really? Well what is twitter.com?
Bollum: What is it? You’ve got to wake up woman and get with it. Twitter is the latest social networking phenomena and it’s simply so hot!
Barbara: Really?
Bollum: Yes really. Where have you been girl?
Barbara: Been? Right here for your information. So why is Twitter so important?
Bollum: Well it’s a way to be part of the global conversation. Just check out their Web site and see.
Barbara: I’m looking at it right now – and well you can only write about 2 sentences.
Bollum: Yeah, that’s why it’s so cool.
Barbara: What good will 2 sentences do?
Bollum: Well it’s fast communications my dear.
Barbara: Well I can see that it’s fast but why is that good?
Bollum: Because it lets you keep up with what everyone’s thinking and doing right now?
Barbara: And why would I want to do that?
Bollum: Because it’s important.
Barbara: Well now you’ve lost me. Why would I want to keep up with what everyone’s thinking and doing right now? It sounds exhausting – and like a total waste of time.

Barbara: Hmm maybe… it’s just
Bollum: Don’t you want to have the latest input on whatever your problem is?
Barbara: Hmm maybe… it’s just
Bollum: Don’t you want…
Barbara: But isn’t it just another distraction? Another way of keeping us outer focused instead of inner focused?
Bollum: You are missing the point completely. It’s about global communications – the one being which is all of us – talking together. Feeling each other. Supporting each other…!
Barbara: I can’t believe I’m hearing this from you! You might be onto something!
Bollum: Thanks for listening for once…
