Twitter Me This: Conundrum or Enigma?

If only this was a joke...Does anyone really want to know when my washing machine is on the spin cycle? Are we entering A Brave New World of incessant Tweets? If so, can we sub in Presidential Tweets (Decade of Doom and Gloom) for Presidential Press Conferences? If we are entering the dark ages, at least let me temporarily experience happiness by watching How I Met Your Mother.
