What's in a name, anyway?

Thanks to Twitter proper names have been reduced to a symbol (@). Whereas in the past the elevation of the name into a proper noun was centripetal to the formation of the identity, it is now a matter of deconstructing the name - a return to the indistinguishable.

Perhaps tomorrow we'll all be grunting.

More on this soon.

Special thanks to Renee Romeo for inspiring me to even think of this.
