Hello readers. Twitter this week was full of two topics: Conan, and Haiti. Obviously the more serious topic is Haiti – and people had plenty to say about it.
Now normally El Jefe Percival demands that I write about Los Angeles twitters, but considering the fact that Haiti is a topic that crosses not only states but international lines, I thought an exception might be made.
First let’s shame a few people. Here we have the erudite twitterati sharing their opinion about how much they don’t care about Haiti. In fact, they don’t care so much that they felt the need to twitter about how much they don’t care:
And you people think I’m insensitive! Wow. These people have a right to their opinion, such as it is, but COME ON. At least we can’t say that celebrities aren’t stepping up to the plate. In the fine tradition of the rich giving the most to charity, several of the famous and fortunate are using twitter to send hope and money to the earthquake stricken island:
There are obviously many ways you can contribute to the Haiti relief effort, and many many people, celebrities and citizens, who are tweeting support for those affected. Twitter can be used for snark material, or it can be used to bring attention and relief to those in need. Which kind of tweet would you post?
