Celebrity Tweeting 'sparks Kitchen Fire'

摘要

It was only a matter of time before this Twitter madness leapt from merely hypnotizing the masses and bastardizing the language to causing real-world mayhem for those (like me) caught in its seductive clutches. Here's what happened: Curt Monash, a technology analyst and Network World blogger, was twit-chatting at 1:30 a.m. with actor LeVar Burton - Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge on "Star Trek:The Next Generation" and Kunta Kinte on "Roots." For the fiery details we turn now to my Q&A with Monash, which Twitter users should note approvingly consists of questions and answers stretching no more than 140 characters, putting aside the windier blog excerpt. (We'll get to Burton's response below.) Buzzblog: Please describe the sequence of events, beginning of course with telling us your Twitter platform of choice.
