Twitter, It Was Good While It Lasted
3rd of February, 2007
Wait, no it wasn’t, it was horrible and I’m stopping. It may have been that I only had one Twitter friend, it might be that I’m just a boring person, whatever it was, it was crap and I was constantly forgetting to make updates.
Although I did end up making 18 updates over a few days, I only ever remembered to make updates at times when I had nothing to update about. Maybe it takes a week or two of solid twittering before it’s drilled into your brain that when something happens, you make a Twitter update. I’m glad I’m getting out before I’m addicted but as I say, I don’t feel like I’m getting addicted, I feel repulsed.
Twitter reeks of MySpace. It’s like public IM sometimes, which reminds me of MySpace comments, that often don’t need to be public but are. If I had a penny for every time I’ve read “Hey, how are you?” in a MySpace comment I’d have like 20 pennies but still, that’s a lot. Twitter isn’t that bad, but it’s getting there. I don’t want messages for someone else appearing in my twitter feed.
That said, I will be subscribing via RSS (not following via Twitter) a few people’s Twitter feeds, just because they post some interesting links. Blogging’s been slow lately and I want back in!
