Wave of the Future

In the progression from magazines to blogs to Twitter feeds, the tea leaves are clear. I think we need a new social network, on which updates will take the form of nothing more than a single “0” or “1”.

We can call it “Bitter.”

    I’d imagine such a service would find much use for people who idly wonder “I wonder if so-and-so has dropped off the face of the Earth yet.” 0 for no, 1 for yes.

    It would serve an essential service like http://hasthelargehadroncolliderdestroyedtheworldyet.com/

    Twitterers (“Twits”) have already tried, and rejected that idea, in favor of an even more brief communication protocol developed by the government during the last administration: “Unary”, consisting solely of zeros.

    There are only 10 kinds of people in the world. Those that understand binary and those who do not.
