We are a Bargaining, Haggling, Negotiating, Wheeling and Dealing Twitter World
We bargain with toddlers, haggle with street vendors, negotiate legislation, make deals with car salesmen, craft golden parachutes for failed "Tonight Show" hosts, use friendship as a bargaining chip, cut deals with the bartender, negotiate the complexities of culture through story-telling, seek to raise our salaries during a recession, and, wheel and deal on rookie wage scales, all in a matter of hours as chronicled by twitter.
