Do you sometimes feel an emptiness in your life, that even your FriendFeed can’t seem to fill?
You add the friends to your wall every day,  send hand-picked e-gifts on all the right occasions, take up the latest quiz challenges from your friends and LOL along with the group when everyone comes out as Yoda.

<p>Do you sometimes feel an emptiness in your life, that even your FriendFeed can’t seem to fill?</p>
<p>You add the friends to your wall every day,  send hand-picked e-gifts on all the right occasions, take up the latest quiz challenges from your friends and LOL along with the group when everyone comes out as Yoda.</p>
<p>But you can’t get rid of that nagging feeling that you should be doing something more meaningful to contribute to society, that perhaps your life doesn’t have any real substance?</p>
<p>Well let doubt nag you no more my digital acquaintances. You too can make meaningful contributions too society from the safety and comfort of your computer nook.</p>
<p>Fear not the beating sun on your brow from a day of sixties style placard waving.  ‘No tear gas no baton charge’ will be required for your anarchist street riot.</p>
<p>Not even the 1980’s ‘care with cash’ yuppie method, or ‘my witty grunge t-shirt will change the world’ are things that you need to endure any longer, because now you can make a difference in the world, <em>just by tweeting</em>.</p>
<p>Simply pick up on the latest causememe, retweet it to your followers and sit back in awe of your own abilities my friend, because you have just changed the world a teeny tiny bit.  It all counts right?</p>
<p>Don’t believe me?  Just watch in about 6-8 weeks those twitter powered Iranian protestors will have overthrown their oppressive government and will owe their eternal gratitude to you and everyone else in the Twittersphere who helped make this possible by keeping their meme alive.</p>
<p>Joining Facebook causes, commenting on blogs and forwarding emails are also valuable contributions, if you’re willing to go the extra mile – remember people those Iranians need you to help keep their click up if they’re going to get through this mess.</p>
<p>Thank you social media for once more making the world a better place.  Without you society would almost certainly collapse back into that biblical sort of chaos that inspires the gnashing of teeth, bad ‘gravel hair’ days and a revival in sack cloth fashion.</p>
<p>I am in awe.</p>

<p>Friends of popular Intertubes user Ron_K45 are fearing the worst after this picture of him appeared on <a href="http://www.twitpic.com">twitpic</a> today.  Ron_K was a private user who kept to himself and never gave out his Facebook, or email.  Ron kept up to date with numerous followers on <a href="http://www.twitter.com">Twitter</a> and was also a lolcatz enthusiast. He was well loved in the <a href="http://icanhascheezburger.com/">canhascheeseburger</a> community, where he regularly posted about the antics of his RL companion &#8211; a black and white tabby known as &#8216;Mr Socks’.</p>
<p>We suspected something might be wrong a few days ago, reported a fellow lolcatter, when Ron’s didn’t post an update on the series he’d been doing on Mr Socks vs his stuffed nemesis ‘Woolydog’.  “Ron never missed a regular post in all the years we’ve known him.” he explained.</p>
<p>We started to get really worried when we did a twitter search on him and found that his last tweet had read. “I can haz chest pains?”</p>
<p>“Yesterday this picture popped up out of nowhere on <a href="http://www.twitpic.com">twitpic</a> under Ron’s account – all we can think is that Mr Socks must have taken it by accident”.</p>
<p>Ron’s followers have been tweeting about nothing else since the picture appeared, but no-one has the faintest idea of where to find him in RL.  Poor Mr Socks don’t has fudz! #sadkitty has registered over 300 retweets in the last 4 hours.</p>
<p>The lolcatz community are holding a best caption poll for his final image to honour the memory of their dear friend.</p>
<p>If anyone recognizes Ron_K45 from this image and can provide us with any details about his RL whereabouts please send us a tweet.</p>
