If you are a twitter user, I warn you now, you may find this offensive.
NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOU.
Can anyone tell me what is so special about the twitter lifestyle? Are we that far up in our own asses that we really think people actually give a sugar about what we’re doing every minute of the day?
- 7:00pm: Just joined twitter. Sweet. Now I can keep a log of every worthless thing that happens to me.
- 7:01pm: I just realized that no one really cares about what I do, and if they do, they should really get a life.
- 7:02pm: My last post on twitter. Now I can get back to actually living my life.
If you are one of these people who love updating your social circle on every petty thing that happens in your life, then perhaps you can share some insight as to why you think people actually care.
Don’t get me wrong, I try and embrace all I can with new technologies trends and whatnot, and I understand that twitter has been around for a long time (2006), but come on, why do you feel the need to jot every little meaningless detail of your life? I mean, who really cares about what you just finished eating, or what you just finished watching, or that your cat just took a piss on your favorite pair of jeans?!
Let me get this straight, you get on twitter, you get a bunch of your stupidest friends to join, then you can all share what you are doing with an up-to-the-minute relay of your meaningless life? Whatever happened to the telephone? or maybe even a visit to a friend? or an old-fashioned blog post?
Do you think people before twitter really cared about what their friends were doing at every given moment?
Am I alone on this? Can anyone understand why they feel the need to let their “social circle” know what is happening? If you are a twitter user, then maybe you can shed some light, because frankly I really don’t get it.
