John O Connell’s Blog

I’ll admit that what I first heard about Twitter, I wasn’t really interested. I asked the usual question people ask when they hear about something new on the internet: “What’s the point?”

For a while now, I’ve wanted to write a blog post about Twitter, but there has been so much written about it already, that I didn’t want to bore my readers with the usual. So I began the pursuit of developing my thoughts from a different angle, and I ended up with the most unusual comparison: The Sims.

At first glance, the two seem to be as related as a finger painting is to a coconut, but hear me out.
