...haven't heard of Twitter yet - or, if you're wondering, "Why would anyone ever want to Twitter?" - you're probably, well, not young.

And, invariably, after explaining what Twitter was and why it was important, I got the same response, "I just don't get it." Then I asked several of my new (18-to-24-year-old) Facebook friends why they found Twitter appealing. Their responses ranged from "It's a great way to broadcast your stream of consciousness...

But current French troop reinforcements mean Paris has an increasing interest (and perhaps rising influence) in making sure the operation doesn't remain what now appears an open-ended face off with resurgent Taliban forces...
...like going down a roller coaster, a 'just hang on' kind of thing." The racers will all be moving at 40 m.p.h., jostling for inside position. Calamities are commonplace: face it; that's part of the appeal. "Anyone here who tells you they haven't crashed is a liar," says fellow American Kyle Bennett. "I had a pretty gnarly concussion once," says the third American qualifier, Mike Day, who was knocked out for a day after face-planting...
