To Facebook is Human, To Tweet Divine

Someone once asked what the point of Twitter was - to which I had no reply. I was then countered with the accusation that these micro updates are not dissimilar to Facebook status updates (which came first the FB or the tweet?) and thus pointless. Unlike Facebook however, the mini newsfeeds are totally noiseless - no photos, no vids, no wall-to-wall convos from other people's friends; just uninterrupted fly-on-the-wall goss from fashion's inner sanctum. I'm now addicted. Women's Wear Daily are the shiz. Their minute-by-minute accounts of the Met Gala shenanigans have made my Kimmage-bound bank holiday weekend somewhat more palatable. It's like a Jane Austen novel dripped in couture. What's not to love?
