I've Created The Successor To Twitter

Ah yes... Twitter.  A site that years later, I still don't really see the necessity for.  Perhaps it's not for me to "get" though.  After all, I actually did quite well in English throughout school, and even took an AP english class in 12th grade with the rest of the nerds.  I'm capable for formulating ideas that stretch beyond the scope of 140 characters.  If anything, I would find it frustrating to try to condense what I'm trying to say down to such a small scope.  You can't really fit anything very profound into 140 characters.  But then again, nothing profound has ever been said on twitter, so it works out quite well I reckon.

As with anything in our society though, there will always be the next "big thing" or the spiritual successor to whatever it is all the hip young kids are into.  I have already laid the framework for this next big thing and I'm going to let you in on exactly what it is.  You are welcome.

I call it "Durr".  It's like Twitter, but instead of 140 characters, you only have a box to post five words.  Sure, kids nowadays can manage 140 characters, albeit using atrocious grammer and substituting numbers for words, but what about the next generation?  With the way the education system is going, we'll be lucky if kids graduating high school in a decade can communicate without needing to point and grunt.  As it stands, a lot of them can't formulate a sentence without needing to pad it with the word "like" half a dozen times.  A half a dozen words is one too many for Durr.

Imagine this if you will:  You sit down to your computer and log into http://www.durr.uhm/.  A box pops up on your screen.  There are 5 underscored blanks for you to fill up with your infinite wisdom.  What will you post?  Let's say you just got finished eating a fine nutritious meal from McDonald's(tm).  You could type out something along the lines of "that hambergur waz the shit".  All your friends will be so jealous.  Now let's imagine for a second that you just got back from seeing the Grammy-nominated Transformers 3.  Perhaps you could post: "tranzformARS epic win 4 realz".  Michael Bay will appreciate the kind sentiment.

In this hustle and bustle world of today, who has the time to formulate and fully flesh out ideas?  People who are dorks and don't have better things to do.  That's who.  But for the rest of us, there are innovative technologies like Durr to help us accomplish our goals while saving precious time.  Thank you for yours.  Your time I mean.
