I’d like to think that I’m ‘with it’. I’m on the Facebook and the Twitter, and am fairly active in both – I ‘get’ ‘social media’, that’s what I’m saying. However, with that said, I really think I finally feel like an old codger that just doesn’t understand the crazy kids and their newfangled internets.

What has caused this epic change? Simply put, a new iPhone app called Birdhouse.

Now don’t get all ahead of yourselves here – it looks like a beautifully done app, and the website design, intro video and everything in between look to be fantastically done. I don’t want to take that away from the folks who put this together (doesn’t hurt that Sandwich Dynamics is an amazing company name, either).

The app simply exists to let you quickly enter in ‘tweet’ ideas, slowly refine them, rate them accordingly, then finally publish the great ones, while still refining the rest.

It’s just that I feel like they’re solving a problem that didn’t really exist until they showed up with the app. Again, maybe I’m just getting old, but I really find tweeting to be a pretty simple process that doesn’t need to be streamlined or improved. I tweet because I notice something or want to share a link – I’m not going to be racking my brain for 4 days trying to craft the perfect 140 characters (or even 5 minutes, really).

Maybe I’m wrong about the value of this kind of app. I’m sure people will disagree. Am I the only one that feels this way?
