A party in which some guests might overshare. LA Times' Meghan Daum has it completely backwards. Twitter merely facilitates communication. It's the party guests' responsibility to not drink too much.

LA Times’ Meghan Daum has it completely backwards.

Twitter merely facilitates communication. It’s the party guests’ responsibility to not drink too much.

Right?? Pulease....... Is myspace or facebook or whatever not the "It" thing to do anymore? Is that stuff soooo... 2008, 2007? *sigh* It seems like a big fad to me. Oh well though, people can do what they want... it's just not for me. Woogie, b/c we’re not cool, right? Right??

The folk I follow are either news outlets, or very interesting people who make me laugh, are smart, and share similar tastes to me. Courtesy of Twitter and the people I follow I've found quite a few new bands I'd never have heard, books I've not heard of etc... Like any service, you get back what you put in. Post inane bollocks, you'll only see inane bollocks as the inane people will gravitate toward you. For the record I do not have a Facebook, Myspace or any other services like that. Tried Twitter for a laugh when the Appstore debuted, figured I'd never stick around, but found it interesting. I would hope those decrying Twitter have tried it before condemning it, but I highly doubt most of you have. Twitter CAN be inane, but it all depends on who you follow.

Perhaps it's allowing us to become less afraid of sharing, which if done properly, can increase solidarity. As the Spanish Revolution has taught us, solidarity makes for a better society than the mutual fear and competition that governments like to engineer.
