I was working on a post about the awful white girl pseudo-rapper Ke$ha when I ran across this video of Miley Cyrus explaining why she quit Twitter - through rhyme. It’s a bit of an f-you to the microblogging site where the pop star says she wants to live for each moment, or something like that. I think it’s basically “Twitter’s lame”.

I really should have done a better job of explaining what she said because I watched it all the way through and don’t encourage anyone else to follow suit.

Of course, I love Twitter and have met some great people through it (and have had a handful of people over the past week or two say they knew me from Twitter). Cyrus may have a point about the inanity in a lot of posts, but you get exactly what you want out of Twitter: you have complete control over what you tweet about and who you follow.

Twitter may be lame, but over two million people follow Cyrus (I wasn’t one of them, but I do follow several pop stars) and it seems like the time when Cyrus has the number two single in the country (with a weak number one) is a peculiar time to tell them to get a life.
