Cuckoos are often highly secretive and in many cases best known for their wide repertoire of calls. Calls are usually relatively simple, resembling whistles, flutes, or hiccups.The calls are used in order to demonstrate ownership of a territory and to attract a mate. [From Wikipedia]

I’m not sure how this differs from the concept behind Twitter.

Let me see if I have it straight. The idea is to allow ordinary people an audience, so that they may document every moment of their waking day with updates  of what they are doing, thus staying tied to the computer like a tightened leash.

I can just see what would happen if someone really used Twitter as it was intended.

FascinatingTween:
