It’s nice to start a Monday morning with a bit of a laugh, and what better way to have a laugh today than with this song.

It’s also worth reading the lyrics, too. That will add to your smiles.
And in defining the geeky audience at which Ben says he’s targeting the Twitter song, he says:

Holy cow! I just recorded a song about Twitter! I bet that would work!
Works for me, Ben!

I guess I just don’t understand why one wouldn’t want to take advantage of what(ever) the internet
has to offer human existence, no matter how silly it may initially seem…
[…] Hobson posted the song You’re No-one if You’re Not on Twitter on his blog. Take a listen. It’s very […]
I’ve only been “somebody” for a few weeks, but this song did, indeed, make me smile. It will become part of my first response to the question, “What is Twitter?”
