Sean Moffitt Stalked to The Point of Twitter

Not too sure if I should be amused or concerned by the mobilization of a grassroots sect of the social media universe whose sole design is to get me on Twitter.

Their leader Collin Douma of Radical Trust fame (an Ace of Spades if I used the US military card deck idea) has orchestrated this charmfully warped idea as a group on Facebook (Petition to Get Sean Moffitt on Twitter) based on a post I wrote a couple weeks back debating the value of Twittering.  Now others have waded into the forum (36 by my last count), including the faceless wonder in the attached.

My deal:

- if you can get 50 friends in the group, I'll buy Collin, your leader - who almost certainly has visions of suppressing individual behaviour for the sake of  communal best interest (do you know he collects Russain propaganda posters?) - a dinner

- if you get 100, I'll start twitter and join with as much zeal as I can muster

- if you get up to 200, i'll buy you all beer and you can Twitter all from the same place - wouldn't that be fun (question: is there a need to update your friends if they are all in the same room)

So you decide - Sean Moffitt not Twittering -

- Gross oversight or discriminating use of free time?
- Social ostracism or sane handle on public vs. private?
- Mobile luddite or waiting for the "better thing" to come along?
- Status soundbyte heaven or savvy avoidance of narcissistic media?
- Desperate cry for help and intervention or acting as a asocial media Charlton Heston struggling on a planet overrun with "always on" Twitter apes?
