Instagram is your high school yearbook. All those school portraits that look like you but don't really look like you. Each club photo and team action shot carefully selected to tell a certain story of what happened. Of course, later on when you flip through the photographs you won't remember things as they actually were, just as they were presented here. And what is a yearbook without its signatures? All the "Have a great summer"s and "Be sure to write"s - like, like, like.
Twitter is a soapbox on a street corner. Only there's a soapbox on every street corner, so really it's a Greek chorus of doomsday prophets shouting endlessly from every crossroads in the city. They're all talking over each other in a terrible racket, and sometimes even though they're saying the same things, and maybe even things you agree with, it's all so terrible that you just want to cover your ears and run to a place beyond crossroads and street corners where you might at last find some peace.
