Oh, right, this thing! So, this is a holographic telecommunications device, complete with camera, phone, and text messaging. Crafty little thing, though, looks like it has an automatic turn-on feature. For what, I don't know. Maybe it's like a candid automatic! Catches you doing embarrassing things, that's fab. You could record something and post it on Youtube, get a laugh out of--
Well, there isn't any Youtube here, is there? Which is really a shame. All those cat videos just out of reach. I suppose you could start a separate network to just share silly camera videos. Could you do that? Could we do that? Doesn't seem to be any rules to using this thing, does there? Let's see...
Oh, it's broadcasting.
Hello! [ he waves, grinning brightly. ] You know, it's a bit rude to eavesdrop. Then again, it's not your fault. Automatic turn-on feature, like I said. If you managed to hear that, earlier. Now, let's see! Who all is here, hmm? Could we have a roll call?
If that's possible. There is a commenting feature on this, isn't there? ... yes, there is. Thought so.
And don't be shy! We're all aliens here. Oh, right. Introductions. I'm the Doctor, the Caretaker, or, if you like, John Smith. No, nevermind, no, not John Smith. Just the Doctor. How about you all?

Okay, I'll bite. Twitter?

Twitter--basically like a mini-blog. 140 characters is all you get, to say what's on your mind. Upside: you're practically expected to do so a couple of times a day.

[Selphie shakes her head at that. You silly people and your social networking.]
I can't say what's on my mind in that little amount of space! That's completely unfair and kinda dumb.

You'd be surprised at how easily you'd take to it. I bet you'd be a natural. But, since we don't have that here, suppose you're limited to a very large character limit, if there even is one.

But really? 140 characters? Are they nuts or something?
