What's the opposite of twitterpated?

Yesterday I went to Borders with my dad so he could pick up a book on how to work his new Blackberry Storm.

In the same section of the store were technology and computer books.

I was ashamed at humanity when I came across a book about Twitter.

How could a book about Twitter be more than three pages long?

I flipped through it, and the first 30 pages or so (the first chapter) was about how to start a Twitter. Can you not just log on? Is it that difficult that you need a novel to instruct you? I feel like a Twitter could TELL YOU how to WORK Twitter.

Then, later in the book was a section about how to search for Twitters. The example they gave was "Pinot Noir" and following it was a list of sample Twitters that contained the words "Pinot Noir."
Who would need to search Twitter's database for a snippet only 170 characters long? Of what possible importance could that be?

One of the sample search results was from "Joe" and said "Eating dinner on the patio with a fine novel and Pinot Noir in hand!"


Wow, good thing I know how to search for this kind of stuff. I was just about to forget what Joe was doing at 5pm on Sunday.
