The following diagram illustrates my point.
Even vegetarians like bacon. So, your professed infatuation with it says nothing about you, other than that, well, you like food. Tell me something I don’t know.
Ok, maybe it was funny in a cute way the first time someone prepended ‘tw’ to a word, making it a twitter specific thing. Example twitter + peeps = tweeps. See that’s cute. But if you’d like it to remain cute and quirky, don’t wear it out.
Also, its usually utterly meaningless. How, for example does the typical ‘tweetup’ (twitter + meetup) differ from a, you know, meetup? Do people do nerdy meetups without any promotion via twitter?
My friend Ali said it better than I can:
i mean, everyone loves cupcakes for FOR THE LOVE OF GOD they’re just cupcakes. delicious, delightfuly mini cakes of tastiness, sure. but merely baked goods.
I would only like to add that cookies are more diverse, easier to eat, and just plain tastier.
Why must every new conference be SomethingCamp? Sure, BarCamp is extremely popular, but the idea behind the first BarCamp (which I helped plan) was to actually, you know, camp. Why call it a camp if you don’t camp?
