Alex Beam reinforces his position as Grand Fuddy Duddy of Boston journalism with a column about how he just doesn't get this Twitter thing. But, ooh, look, he has an "e-dress," so you can send him one of those newfangled "text" messages from your "cell" phone to explain it to him!
Can't you just imagine him in 1850 complaining about the telegraph?
Don't get. Stop. Know nobody in California. Stop. What waste of money. Stop.

See, but you have to be sufficiently geeky--and kind old--to get the telegraph joke.
Apropos of nothing, met Mr Beam at a cocktail party and the schtick is pretty kinda charming in person.
