Now, if there was a way to link what I ate with how bad smelling or frequent the farting was (Assuming we can get a gas sniffer that can isolate foul smelling farts), we can link how the diet maps to the smell and the frequency. Since everyone's physiology is somewhat different, this should definitely add value.

Also, that was the only intelligent thing I could think of to say on the subject.

Ahh, toilet humour always evokes a reaction, not a great one.

Brilliant parody of the current "Twitter ecosystem" hype. A little app like says more than all the blog posts and Wired/Slate/etc articles put together. (I do think Twitter & Twitter apps have their place, but it's incredibly overhyped right now)

I did something similar to this last year as a satire. Whenever I had a bowel movement, i would update my twitter with my cell phone.

They say that a design is perfect when there is nothing else left to remove.

I think this guy successfully stripped Twitter naked down to its bare essence.

Perfect!

I'd like this article a lot more if the guy had figured out a way to monetize it.

If you by that mean single-handedly confirmed that twitter soon will be a even more useless troll haven with a SNR approaching previously thought theoretically impossible values of non-zero tangents, then yes.
