Twitter

I made a twitter account to see what it was about, Im already part of face book and had a myspace so I wanted to do something different. After trying twitter I'm not really impressed. Twitter is used to follow your friends or famous people or anyone in general and they post short little messages. If you ask me all this is is short AIM away messages saved and posted for people to "like or comment" on. You can tweet where you are, what your doing, what your eating, everything you give to the public is for them to see, if you choice to twitter can make your life a pretty open book.

Postings are usually no more than 1-2 sentences. For example this is a tweet from Chad OchoCinco, " Cooking a huge breakfast at home, 2 boiled eggs, 3 packs of Quaker Oats Peaches n Cream oatmeal and a big ass glass of Simply Orange OJ" This was tweeted at 9:49 AM Oct 10th. Now I know what Mr.OchoCinco eats for breakfasts when hes really hungry, the point? Not sure but it does have an interesting concept behind it, gets you a step closer to other people which is kind of cool.

Profiles are customizable to fit your attuitue/style and they can be colorful and different, Along with a profile picture this page becomes your own personal diary to say or do whatever you want really (within reason). Twitter is interesting to say at the least but its not for me.
