Twitter

Twitter? Why am I supposed to do this thing? Really? Why? I don't see any huge benefits. Do you? Not unless you're some kind of hipster, I suppose. According to Paul Valentine,"Twitter is only used by sports recruits, sports recruiting agents, and communists!" So, which one are you? Now, I don't like to jump to conclusions, but I'll take Mr. Valentines word over anyone's. Now it seems that on Twitter you tend to follow two types of 'Tweets" (that's the dumb name the gave people who use it). You can follow celebrities, and your friends. Well, when it comes to celebrities couldn't you just read the news? I mean if its anything important happens it will probably be on some celebrity new website within 15 minutes. So unless you're really interested in what kind of cheese omelet Shaq ordered for breakfast I don't think you really need to follow his twitter. And as for your friends, I mean, come on. This inter networking of social communication on the Internet is getting a little out of hand. I mean I do care about what my friends are doing but not to the point that I think I should be checking up on their "micro blog" every few hours. Doesn't feel good to actually run into a friend, in person, and find out what their up to? And you already know which people and friends are going to be using twitter and which ones aren't. So what, you can't communicate with friends that don't have twitter? You'll never be able to hang out with them because they don't have a 140 character sentence telling you and everyone else what their doing? Give me a break. We seemed to get by just find before. You know what I'm gonna do? I'm going to call them to see what's up. I'm even going to text them to see what's going on. I'll even go as far as to Facebook message them! But, twitter? No, that's where I draw the line. Anyway, I here this whole technology thing is on the decline. Yep, carrier pigeons! That's where the future is!
