Twittering On The Roof With Thea
Tonight I found myself on the roof of the 91Èȱ¬ H.Q. in Glasgow talking to a woman about infidelity. Well, the rooftop restaurant actually and the woman in question was my old friend Thea Newcomb, the founder of the incredibly popular website.
Thea has been running that website for almost ten years now and it was interesting to hear her describe how social networking sites such as Facebook and are contributing to the break-up of relationships as well as providing the opportunity to start new ones. It seems that online friendships are now so easy to start and, in some cases, one thing leads to another and people decide to ditch their existing life in the hope of finding something better. To be fair, sometimes they actually do!
Meanwhile Thea's movie based on her website is nearing completion and might see the light of day at a major international film festival later this year. Anticipating her future fame, I asked her to add me to her Twitter network and I promised to do the same.
We pulled out our BlackBerrys and thumbed away at a few keys until we both realised we had no idea how to do that.
That must count as a 21st Century faux pas.
