National Post reporter has total Twitter melt down

National Post technology reporter David George-Cosh let loose on a marketing consultant from Toronto today. Apparently feeling snubbed April Dunford, an experienced marketing professional hadn’t called him back on time for a story he was working on; he took exception to her annoyed Tweet after their phone call:

At just about 1:00 pm EST, April Dunford tweets: “Reporter to me “When the media calls you, you jump, OK!?” Why, when you called me and I’m not selling? Newspapers will get what they deserve”

And that Tweet - note she never “outed” the reporter; simply expressed her frustration. This is what she set off:

sirdavid: @aprildunford what the fuck. I called you for comment two days ago. What did you expect when you called me back? Don’t post that shit online

sirdavid: @aprildunford furthermore, I called you several times in the afternoon. Don’t be condescending to me when I actually wanted to talk to you

sirdavid: @aprildunford how about you stop blasting personal conversations on twitter and call me back. what the hell is wrong with you.

aprildunford: @sirdavid All I did was return your call. I didn’t expect you to do anything. Wow. Like, seriously, calm down.

sirdavid: @aprildunford & then repost everything? & then hang up on me & don’t call back? I’ve recorded everything. U don’t look as nice as u put on

aprildunford: @sirdavid Dude - I never said who you were. Twitter meet David. David is having a bad day. David, meet Twitter.

sirdavid: @aprildunford hey april - fuck you. seriously. fuck you.

sirdavid: @aprildunford if u can’t handle any heat from what u post and immediate hang up, fuck u. u know my number. u call if you want to settle.

aprildunford: @sirdavid Re-read what you have just Twittered. Then re-read what I Twittered. Deep breaths David. Calm.

Terry Moran announced last night that Nightline now has a Twitter feed, but he was barely suppressing a smirk as he did so, as if to say, "I can't believe this is what journalism has come to."

sirdavid: @aprildunford hey april - fuck you. seriously. fuck you.

the funniest shit i have read all day

i went to the twitter awards tonight. mc hammer was there.

did you tweet from it

can't tweet this

btw wtf is a 'one-minute twitter silence'

there was a lot of tweeting going on at the twitter awards. i did not twit.

when hammer came out all the twitterers yelled "don't hurt em" and "cash for gold" :(

also the winner for best comedy twitter read a rickroll as his acceptance speech and then yelled "San Dimas High School Football Rules." Haha references.

Wait, why were you at this thing?

subway was catering

heyo

:-]

good one dude

no, i went cuz dudes who do the show like my twitter feed and we hung out and got drinks and they invited me.

it was actually a pretty cool event. Speeches had to be under 140 characters. Hammer showed up. Shaq cameod via video. It was done in like 90 minutes.

whiney btw A+ tweeting would follow again

thx kk! :D

Wait a minute, you're not joking?

Even the hip-hop artist MC Hammer, who arrived to present some awards, couldn't quiet the crowd down.

Please Hammer don't quiet the crowd down.

ENBB followed me! I felt special. ;) I followed a bunch of LOST characters last night, I am super lame.

mc hammer is going insane on twitter

Pato's Twitter feed among world's best, A+++++++++ would follow again

can this be the ilx twitter directory or are we too sheepish for that

Adding in the ILX massive into Twitter feed...

Twitter is the place to not be sheepish (unlike facebook) so go directory crazy iirc

i am twitter.com/hoosteen afaic

lol i love how you work in 'imo' to like every other tweet

twitter.com/1000TimesYes

Are you shooting for 1000 on December 31st, or are you gonna finish up early?

I want to try to finish up two weeks early, so I'm not spending my xmas break twittering

the double digits thing is funny.. but i think you mean triple!

how many listens do you give each album?

Twitter is a fucking joke. I have friends who have it set up to send their feed to a livejournal post. WTF? So I get pages full of shit like

@fred lol I know its great isnt it?
I hate it when someone pees on a tram
@sheila you know it baby

And other such crap that MAKES NO SENSE OUT OF CONTEXT. Its like hearing half a conversation when some yapface is on their cellphone on the train. NOBODY CARES THAT YOU JUST ATE A FALAFEL THAT WAS A BIT ORDINARY.

Why do people feel the need to spew every tinym irrelevant ramble out into the universe?

Thats what mad homeless people do.

Yeah, I am genuinely unable to wrap my head around Twitter. Like, what sort of role does it play in people's lives? I guess I'm happy that these people no longer have a Twitter-shaped hole in their hearts, but... damn.

the role it plays in my life = following shaqs every move

also playing slockis

movie game

ENBB followed me! I felt special. ;)

Lex of course I followed you! I've was reading your stuff when you were just a wee lass, remember?

Trayce, do you really know people named Fred & Sheila.

I truly wish I did ;_;

Twitter is fine in isolation however people who link Twitter to Facebook LJ et al should be rogered as above

I suppose in it's own setting it makes about as much sense as AIM or MSN. But yeah why feed it out elsewhere? Especially to blogs.

I'm just more depressed that people can't be bothered to write thoughtful coherent peices of writing any more. You do so and get tl;dr. The next generation are going to be brain-damaged monkeys who cant focus for longer than 10 seconds.

Sorry... seem to have caught a serious case of old, today.
