Sometimes I am really slow to hop on the bandwagon. Sometimes I hop on the bandwagon to see what the fascination is about said bandwagon, then immediately hop the f$%k off. That is exactly what I am doing with Twitter.
I have been hearing Twitter this, and Twitter that. I see links on blogs all over saying "follow me on Twitter." I watch a lot of IPTV shows like Diggnation, Diggreel, and Hak5. All of the hosts on those shows seem to have a Twitter account so you can follow them.
I decided to create an account to see what the fascination is about. After poking around, and creating my account I have come to the conclusion that Twitter = Lame Sauce!
I asked a friend of mine whom I used to work with if he Twittered, and he said no. In fact he went on to say:
It's annoying...people post everything they're doing on there and I really couldn't care less that someone twittered that they just took a big shit
First of all, thanks for that mental image Dave, and second you are correct! My life is not interesting enough for me to give you a minute by minute, play by play of my life via the web and SMS. Oh, and sorry friends and family, your lives just aren't that interesting either.
Am I being too harsh and critical about Twitter? Do you agree with me? Disagree? If you like it let me know why! Oh sweet Lord why?. If you hate it, I want to know that too. You know what to do! Post in the comments!
