One Direction fans: The mayor of Boston feels your pain

Reading the summary of "twitter conversations" involving well know powerful elected officials is very annoying. Too much stuff there, and very little substance. Walsh would answer a question, but I mostly could not figure out what the questions was. And although there were a lot of good questions, there was much, much more crap. Heck, why glom on to this. He answer the question of Godfather II versus Godfather III (or I, I was just happy to see an actual question.)

At the end of the day, he responded to some real questions, and interestingly there was one question that was cut-and-pasted from several twits which was factually wrong. At the end of the day, this is twitter we are talking about. Hitting back a few softballs thrown his way would seem to be what twitter is all about.

And besides, look at the retweets. And the fact that otherwise Adam might not have even reported on this. It was a good move in the end.

You are still a kid in my books.

To be fair, I am still called a kid, and I know people my age who are grandparents. Of course, senior citizens and friends call me kid, and every day I know the "kid" era is coming to a close.

And I know who Zayn Malik is. I can identify two members of One Direction- the Irish one and the Muslimy one. And I have to admit that One Direction is in fact a half decent singing group.
