I forgot to lock my computer today when I wandered away from my desk. Here is the resulting mass email, subject: “Moving On…”

After two years of service here at ESPN.com, I have decided to move on and pursue my life long dream of winning Dancing with the Stars. The dynamic tandem of Ru Paul and myself will be fox-trotting, waltzing, and cha-cha-cha-ing our way straight to the top. Please be sure to text in and vote for us starting this September on ABC.

One would think that after 2 years and twenty or so of these ridiculous emails I would learn my lesson. Apparently, not so much.

 

Today I decided to jump on the Twitter bandwagon.  So far, I am truly unimpressed.

I used to use Twitter for the ever-popular “Overheard at the Office” section of Skaboom.net, but killed it when the level of vulgarity got just a bit too high.  I returned to my account today, in hopes of cleaning out all of the absurdities that were there, and starting fresh…  Apparently, deleting the 15 posts that were there was just a little bit too much for Twitter to handle.

Needless to say, I deleted and re-created skaboom on Twitter

Sure, Twitter gets a ton of traffic, which obviously explains its many issues.  Maybe it’s just me, but if my site scaled that bad, I think I would just take it down.

Come on now Twitter - Lock it up.
