You Are What You Tweet

In all likelihood, a childless bachelor wouldn't write a column on parenting. A teetotaler would have little to say about wine-tasting. Yet people with absolutely no experience are routinely trusted in international venues to expound on Internet-related issues about which they themselves admit they know absolutely nothing.

Columnist Kathleen Parker admits she hasn't posted "nary a tweet" but that didn't stop her from drawing her own conclusions. With a little get-up-and-go, Parker could have put some effort into following some of the people who are using the platform in remarkably creative ways. At the very least, she could have issued a tweet or two of her own.
