As some of you may know, the AV Club Blogcrew has had its share of disagreements over twitter. Chris and I believe it’s a wonderful tool for mass mobile communication on the go, and Andy believes that technology is Scary and Evil and GET OFF MY LAWN DAMN KIDS. However, if there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that Twitter, when misused, is probably the most annoying aspect of (God, I hate that term) “web 2.0″ in existence. So, naturally, Andy and I decided to try to misuse it as horribly as possible.

On Monday, 12/15/08, we plan to tweet as inanely as humanly possible. We plan to tweet anything and everything, then reply to each other’s inane tweets, retweet those replies, and OH like we’ve never OHed before. Essentially we’re going to (*cringe*) live-tweet the entire day, and hope nobody tracks us down and kills us to retaliate. If you follow me (@Janric) or Andy (@avclubvids) and wish to be spared the carnage, you may want to unfollow us for the day, or even forever. All tweets for that day will be tagged #twit. If you would like to join in, pretty much just do as we will be doing, and spread the word to others who would enjoy doing the same.  You have been warned.

The reason behind DOTT?  Who knows.  Maybe it is a commentary on how easy it is to misuse and abuse things.  Maybe it is a way to silence the everyday annoying twits by force-feeding them their own medicine for a day.  Maybe it is an attempt to bring twitter to its knees.  Maybe it just sounds like an interesting thing to do.
