I was on the internet in 1995 as a fifth-grader. I've been blogging since I was a freshman in college, and though I was a bit slow to own a cell phone, I was on Facebook early enough in its existence to remember the days when counting friends was cool.

Twitter is full of insults to this fine city of ours.
If only those drive-by critics would stop in for breakfast at Arizona Cafe, lunch with the hordes at Luigi's or sit next to a complete stranger and share some pickled tongue and free red wine at Noriega's, perhaps they'd change their tune....
