I get the joke, but for those that don’t - “twittering” meant “the act of talking quickly and nervously, saying things of very little importance or interest” - which is why they named the site Twitter (or rather, “Twittr” which is what they called it back then due to the Flickr-led trend of dropping vowels).
But that You Tube reference in 1985 - I’m trying to figure out what he meant by that back then, and I can’t, because freakin’ YouTube dominates the searches.
I just watched it again for the umpteenth time and finally figured out that he’s probably saying “U2,” but it sure comes out sounding like YouTube.
Calling their site Twitter always baffled me - wouldn’t people be put off by what you’re implying? - or impressed me with their frankness. Why not mindlessblather.com? Doesn’t roll of the tongue the same way…
