Fartter, Tooter or Twitter?

When I thought of Fartter, which was Twitter for your farts, I didn't even think of using the name Tooter. But here is Ashton Kutcher on SNL promoting his new (fake) social networking service, Tooter:



But my joke was for Fartter. In some ways I like my gag better, but Ashton's has the advantage of money and talented people to help. I think I came up with my idea after I farted in a library staff meeting. But I blamed it on a snoozing co-worker, so it all worked out.

At the time there was no real www.Fartter.com, but now I see there is one:
Domain Name: FARTTER.COM

And it took a whole year for someone to buy that domain after I made it up. I'd hoped my blog was more influential than that, darn it.
