I’d like to think that I’m ‘with it’. I’m on the Face­book and the Twit­ter, and am fairly active in both – I ‘get’ ’social media’, that’s what I’m saying. How­ever, with that said, I really think I finally feel like an old codger that just doesn’t under­stand the crazy kids and their new­fan­gled internets.

What has caused this epic change? Simply put, a new iPhone app called Birdhouse.

Now don’t get all ahead of your­selves here – it looks like a beau­ti­fully done app, and the web­site design, intro video and every­thing in between look to be fan­tas­ti­cally done. I don’t want to take that away from the folks who put this together (doesn’t hurt that Sand­wich Dynam­ics is an amaz­ing com­pany name, either).

The app simply exists to let you quickly enter in ‘tweet’ ideas, slowly refine them, rate them accord­ingly, then finally pub­lish the great ones, while still refin­ing the rest.

It’s just that I feel like they’re solv­ing a prob­lem that didn’t really exist until they showed up with the app. Again, maybe I’m an old­ster now and I just don’t ‘get’ it. Maybe true genius is doing exactly what I feel they did — cre­at­ing a solu­tion to an imag­i­nary prob­lem. I may or may not end up giving it a shot, as maybe I really am miss­ing out on some­thing. I just can’t shake that feel­ing that it makes no sense to me. Regard­less of how I feel, you should check it out for your­self — the intro video is quite good.

Anyway, stay off my lawn.
