According to North Korea's twitter account, the Pyongyang Film Festival is over. No wonder there's been no significant red carpet activity of late. I hope Joan Rivers covers the PFF tonight on "Fashion Police". "Oh, even Angelina Jolie cannot rock the black pajamas!"

Seriously, reading the wikipedia entry on twitter made me feel senile. What? What for? Huh? From my very limited experience, though, it seems to be following the familiar arc of social networking, which for me dates back to the wrestling fan fic heyday of the late 90's. Phase 1, This is Fun: Hey, like-minded people in cyber-space, isn't it cool we can find each other and talk now? Phase 2, Alignment: Did you read what X wrote? How can she lie like that? Karma! Phase 3 Almost as Boring as Real Life: If I have to read X is going for coffee one more time... Phase 4 Goldfish Bowl: I still have it but I hardly ever look at it.

If you want to tweet me, and I have no idea why you would, I'm thefreeagentnyc, after my lovable Miss Manners-like blog character on the Manhattan Libertarian Party's blog.
