I’m not usually one to hold back. I made an exception these last few months for Twitter.

Tonight, none of my RSS feeds work for Twitter. Alone, not such a huge deal. After all the other shit they’ve expected me to put up with, and with news that TweetStats no longer works because they pretty much couldn’t be bothered, I’m pissed off, and I’m sick of saying silent on the matter.

My rant over on the Oh, Twitter blog, which is hereby shut down until further notice.

I have a love-hate relationship with memes.

I love them because I love anything even remotely resembling a survey. I live to check the boxes next to my top three interests on warranty registration cards.

I hate them because I rarely read other people’s responses - the joy for me is in filling out the form itself, not in reading the responses. I do not want to be known as a meme sharer.

All that said, I recently saw a meme I just couldn’t resist, which is odd because it has zero questions for me to answer yet the results are amusing enough to interest me in reading other responses.

Here’s how it works: Google “[your first name] needs” and share the first 10 results.

Mine:

• Marina needs a facelift
• Marina needs a home of her own
• Marina needs her rest
• Marina needs better slipway
• Marina needs iDockUSA
• Marina needs a large hole excavated
• MarinaNeeds.com (dock repair)
• Marina needs a drink
• Marina needs sports equipment
• Marina needs nine more feet

Finally, a way to flush your money down the toilet without wasting water!

(Seriously… why would someone buy carbon credits? Do people need another way to feel like they can change the world from their couch? I would be happy to be proven wrong. I fear I am right.)
