Funeral tweeting

You know, we all love these new gadgets on the intarwubs that help us communicate, inform, bitch about politics, and enact petty grudges semi-anonymously. Blogs, facebook, Twitter, all good. About Twitter, though. While it certainly has it's uses, like say shooting out quick updates that aren't worthy of even blogger's low standards, quick status updates, and demanding people take your brain custard.

But as a way to liveblog the funeral of a murdered three year old? A tad beyond the pale, a touch indelicate. Or is it the future? No it's lowlife behavior.

While family and friends are mourning a 3 year old, you shouldn't be tapping out status updates on your Sidekick. The world doesn't need your hamhanded texting about shoveling dirt on a grave.
