Since I am in the Hong Kong time zone (hence your night is my day) and use Twitter only at (daytime) work, it was my impression for quite a while that pretty much all Twitter users in the Western hemisphere are what Silvio Belusconi would call "suntanned". Only when I logged on to Twitter at home one night (your day) did I realize that was only part of the story.

"It's the nature of how we craft these environments to suit our core comforts and fine tune our twitter experiences…"

i think that quote ought to be attributed to Shia, the comment's original author, (rather than to the reposter alone), just as the earlier quote is attributed to its author, Maria Diaz.

and why no active link to shia's original comment on nick's page?

This guy is an idiot here is the proof.
â€œWhite People Twitter for the most part happens during the American daytime.â€ What idiot blows (squanders) a wonderful opportunity to make use of this tremendous platform. His words speak volumes.

FYI Web Master.. The article does not appear (load) in the 10.0.1 Opera Web Browser (only the comments appeared) I had to open Firefox to View the article.

Common mistake. If the avatar was only a wee bit bigger, you'd see that it's legendary Italian soccer referee Pierluigi Collina in a Japanese octopus dumpling ad campaign.

What is amazing to me is that for the thousands of "Late Night Black People" Tweets, you chose to highlight one that included the N word and another with a woman who doesn't appear to be Black, just using a "Black" Trending Topic. In case you were wondering, we were talking about you being an asshole tonight.

Viewing American class divisions through Facebook and MySpace [http://www.danah.org/papers/essays/ClassDivisions.html]
danah boyd is doing some really interesting research related to class divisions on social networking sites. The essay I've linked is a couple years old, but is totally on-point.

Crunk & Disorderly taught me so much about the art of tagging. With all credit given to Fresh, I've started using her tag language in my own life.

This is my testimony.

I'm really honored to have my theory on race and technology quoted from my personal blog, but I stress that this is a blog where I write *half-baked scraps of ideas*. I also stress that I totally misrepresented my friend's observation if I at all implied it was a serious theory. He simply made the mistake of IMing it to me.

Seriously guys, this was not anyone's thesis. I wrote this theory on my blog. You know what else I put on my blog? A PICTURE OF A FART. http://toomuchnick.com/post/237345037/bullshit-chumblespuzz-proving-that-science
