The funny side of Twitter

My post about Twitter, or rather why I’m not using it due to social network overload, generated a lot of comments and even more page views. People who use it love it, and swear that it’s helping the promote their books, blogs, etc.

Other people – myself included – find themselves distracted enough with everyday work interruptions to consider interrupting themselves on purpose to write posts about what they’re doing at that minute.

But there’s another side to the debate. The funny side. Thanks to the following cartoonists for helping us remember to laugh at ourselves, whether we Twitter or not.

This cartoon is from Hugh Macleod, one of those artists who makes what he does look really easy, even though it’s not. You can see Macleod’s stuff online or visit his Website, Gapingvoid: cartoons drawn on the back of business cards. And yes, you can follow him on Twitter here.

This cartoon first appeared in March 2007 and comes from Krishna M. Sadasivam, an engineer turned freelance artist/illustrator who’s drawn a tech strip called PC Weenies since October 1998. Follow him on Twitter here.
