Here, so you don’t even have to click on the link, is the text of “our” portion of the story.  Given that the article starts out describing a Twitter almost-suicide, I think the inclusion of our mini-breakup is … ummm … perhaps a bit random.  But hey!  What do I know, I don’t write for the Times. 

Another couple that has shared its breakups with the online world are Jakob Lodwick and Julia Allison, often via Tumblr. Mr. Lodwick, 26, who is the founder of Vimeo, a video sharing site, said that exposing his life had practical value.

“For example, if I get in a fight with Julia, I’ll take a picture of her with my iPhone and send it to my Tumblr with the caption, ‘She is mad at me,’” he wrote in an e-mail message. “This saves me from catching up one-on-one with my friends and family. They just know we had a fight. So next time I talk to them directly, they are already caught up with me, and the conversation picks up from there.”

Mr. Lodwick, who earlier in his short career was a founder of the successful Web site College Humor, and Ms. Allison, a dating columnist for Time Out New York, both chronicle their turbulent relationship on personal blogs and elsewhere online. The media gossip site Gawker is addicted to the soap opera, which the couple appear to stoke for their own self-promotion. “Some people follow us as fans,” Mr. Lodwick noted. “I guess people like stories.” 

PS. I’ve never used Twitter, and frankly, I think it’s weird. I mean, a grown woman is quoted as saying “You watch what we tweet … you also know that if you really need help, you are just a tweet away from it.” That’s just … a little loopy. I mean, I like sending in random photos from my cell to Tumblr, but christ, I don’t take it so seriously. If you really need help, shouldn’t you call your mom or something??
