Twitter: Cool but Unreliable?
From the dialogue between two Norse ‘linguists’ on the language of the Bjarmaland people, Örvar-Odds Saga, ca. 13th century:
‘Skilr þú hér nokkut mál manna?’ sagði Oddr. ‘Eigi heldr en fuglaklið,’ sagði Ásmundr.
‘Do you know anything about the language of these people?’ asked Oddr. ‘No more than the twittering of birds,’ said Ásmundr.
Twitter is pretty hot: TIME magazine, as reported on their site, said: “Twitter is on its way to becoming the next killer app.”
