wired magazine said twitter is the new blog
you know what i think?
i don't need a play to play of your lives
it is by far the most narcissistic thing i have ever come across
at least blogs serve as a sort of 'diary' - keeps people up to date on your feelings, and likes, and troubles
Let me make an analogy. Twitter is the msn names of those guys you used to hang out with - the ones that give you a play by play of their lame lives ....
like do i give a fuck that you are going to dinner at 4:19pm?
But i guess the obvious answer is - if you don't like it, don't read it... right?
oh god
so little faith in my age bracket.

ps- a post script while i am on a rant. I wonder if people ever think that they are the problem - that they are the undesirable one? As in, if unconnected individuals who are outside your family and friends continually feel that you are unsatisfactory, perhaps you need to reassess what type of person are are presenting to the outside world. If they are all wrong, maybe you are the problem. Elitist attitudes, that are not backed with any sort of credential, or experience, coupled with a manipulative demeanor that is apparent within 5 minutes of contact will continually result in failure. But again - maybe it is just karma.

such a narrow view on twitter...the value of twitter is dependent on what it's used for. So if you're using it as a moc facebook or msn name, then yeah it's going to suck. But a lot of people gain value from it. See here (http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/2009/02/25/how-to-use-twitter-without-twitter-owning-you-5-tips/)
And to meausure the chatter on twitter companies have begun developing analytics to track what people are saying about their brands.
This guy just launched a new company that deals with these kinds of analytics - http://www.crunchbase.com/company/am-analytics. And the information he's mining is valuable enough that companies are contracting him for his services.
Twitter is a lot like powerpoint. Most poeple suck at powerpoint, but that doesn't mean powerpoint sucks. It means most people don't use it effectively.
