Over the past few weeks I have been reading a lot about Twitter. At first I didn’t really get the idea behind it, and after I did finally “get it” – I wished I was still in the dark. Is it just me or is this just a really lame idea?
Who in the blue monkey hell wants to know that I am warming up a Pop-Tart at 8:45 PM on their cell phone? I know blogging got a bad name for a long time because it was stereotyped as a bunch of depressed goth teenagers talking about why they hate their mother and love their twelve cats.
Twitter is the Internet (or better yet user driven content) jumping the shark.
The worst thing about it all is that people are building up huge bills because of this stupid addiction. Why? So they can tell me, “Wow, that episode of Lost was KEWL”.
So what is the deal? When people post lame content via the Web they are lame, but when they do it via their cell phone it is somehow awesome? I think not.
I couldn’t agree more!
I think it has its uses, but mostly for junior high and high school kids. Otherwise, I’m not sure why everyone cares about it so much.
