Banking Via Twitter? 193
In the latest example of how just because you can do something doesn't mean you should, one credit union has decided to offer a new feature, dubbed "tweetMyMoney," that allows members to interact with their accounts via Twitter. Can't wait for the next version, "tweetSomeoneElsesMoney." "tweetMyMoney, available exclusively to Vantage members! With tweetMyMoney, you can monitor your account balance, deposits, withdrawals, holds and cleared checks with simple commands. And, you can even transfer funds within your account. It's all available on Twitter, 24/7!"

Now I only have to fit the nigerian scam letter in a 120 characters tweet... and they can, in one or two simple click, send me the money!
Can't you see the advancement ?

How disappointing to find out we live in such a pussy-ass universe. I want some fire and brimstone, or at least a few nuclear detonations.

Oh wait, it's not 2007 anymore...

I was laughing . . . until I realized it was my bank.
Suddenly the humor in it escapes me.
