Some people will never get Twitter. They’ll never get past the 140-character limit. They’ll always think it’s just people writing about what they had for breakfast. (Frankly, I think people should stop watching Twitter in Plain English. It’s not relevant anymore.)

Some people will never use Twitter. And that’s OK.

One of those people in Maureen Dowd. She flew San Francisco and interviewed the creators of Twitter, Biz Stone and Evan Williams, and used that opportunity to mock them to their faces. And not in a self-aware, tongue-in-cheek, Stephen-Colbert sort of way. She hates Twitter and she let them know it.

Sample question: “Was there anything in your childhood that led you to want to destroy civilization as we know it?”

Fortunately, bloggers are a clever bunch, and this parody Dowd interview with the inventors of the telephone dovetails nicely with my recent interest in Bell’s life.

Sample parody question: “Was there anything in your childhood that turned you into a loathsome scourge to humanity?”

Bell responds, deadpan, “You mean my mother’s deafness, which made me dedicate my life to helping people communicate?”
