Twitter Peek: The Ultimate in Unnecessary Uni-Taskers
December 12, 2009 | Nathaniel
Oh. My. God (through some misplaced sense of pride I refuse to type OMG and utilize it as a word or tool of the English language). Tell me-TELL me, you’re using the Twitter Peek for valuable tasks like posting or linking your assignments or communicating with your professor.
What’s the Twitter Peek? The Twitter Peek is a device designed solely-SOLELY (I’ll lay off that emphasis making writing tool) for creating and using a Twitter account. I.E. you can only Tweet with this device.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Why is this a thing? Beats me. All I know is that it’s real and you can own it if for only $100 dollars of the American persuasion with a six month contract or service plan or some such nonsense. Feel like ballin’ in these hard times? Get that oh-so needed lifetime service package for the low, low price of-Holy Moley. That’s preposterous.
Two hundred bones? It boggles the mind.
And yes, they’re serious. Maybe it became painfully evident that Twitter had to start making money somehow. And it seems there may actually be a market for this item, though. No, I’m NOT kidding. Who may need one of these horrible wastes of plastic and electronic wizardry? Probably your elders who want to know what tweeting is and feel using that device will be easier than learning on a computer.
Or those who feel that buying a smartphone or really any phone that’s internet ready or capable is too expensive…Yes. That’s really their targeted group of consumey consumers.
And so college consumers and studentstuff readers I leave you with this: this is not “stuff” you need to spend money on. Do you have a cell phone? Do you have a computer? If you answered yes to either of the previous questions don’t buy the Peek. Unless you REALLY, REALLY gotta compulsively shop–I can’t even finish that cynically. Oh, I spoke to soon.
Now, please if you’re gonna tweet, do it in a money saving and less plastic producing way. Not that I’m the biggest green-freak but this is a pretty awful waste of money that will be useless come next year. Now, get back to texting in class.
STUDY HARD!
