I have run into far too many classmates, friends and yes, even professors not to enter this into a blog entry. It has been bothering me for a very long time.
Ladies and gentlemen, Twitter has taken over the nation. Twitter used to be mainly for corporations.
Now in case there are some of you out there who have no clue what I'm talking about (you know who you are), let me explain. Twitter is a free, social-messaging website where updates regarding any information you would like to share can be posted for people to see, via Internet.
Though don't mistake this entry for an anti-Twitter campaign. That's not at all what I'm trying to do here. I'm completely for Twitter, I think that it provides entrepreneurs, politicans, firms and media personalities with a great outlet to engage and inform their many followers. What I'm trying to get at, is that there is no need for your average friend to be using Twitter as some sort of mood update, activity update, what-I-am-eating update, or any other mundane everyday update you can think of. It's pointless.
It's a serious problem. You friend who has nothing better to do, is updating his status every five minutes about what tv show he is currently watching. NOT IMPORTANT. And, frankly taking up bandwidth where something more important could have been posted.
If you have either a Facebook or a Myspace and you are not using Twitter for work-related purposes, you really don't need another profile simply to state what you are doing. It's pretty simple.
Humanitarian efforts, campaigns, promotions, new releases... That's what we need!
Where's the meat people?
Where's the information that really matters today?
