The sassy Times columnist recently visited Twitter headquarters to talk with founders Biz Stone and Evan Williams, an interview she mostly spends complaining about the Internet phenomenon and how useless it is. At one point, she tells Stone, "I would rather be tied up to stakes in the Kalahari Desert, have honey poured over me and red ants eat out my eyes than open a Twitter account." Jeez, this is the man's life we're talking about here. And you're a guest in his office. All Twitter opinions aside, that's just poor manners. [NYT]
