Facebook and Twitter prove beyond a doubt that the human capacity for speech far far exceeds its need to say anything.

The real nerds started using Twitter over a year ago and are now disgusted at how commercialized the site has gotten. Twitter stopped being cutting edge months ago.

Facebook is somewhat useful; I like to be able to go to Facebook and get a quick impression of what a bunch of my friends are up to, see if they’ve got interesting links to share, etc.

But Twitter strikes me as obsessive microblogging. I tried it for a while, but got bored, so I started tweeting in haiku, but frankly, no one cares that I nicked my chin shaving this morning.

I think The Onion pretty well nailed it with this: http://www.theonion.com/content/statshot/what_are_we_twittering

Don’t understand the fasination with Twitter. Then again I’ve only visited the website once and that was only when I followed a link on one of the blogs that I go to.
If people want to use it, whatever. It’s just not for me.

For those who feel compelled to say “twitter is for twits” and “everyone on there is a wailing baby”, you misunderstand it.

Today I learned several things appropriate to my interests: that IE6 support is dropping (today from youtube), how to create wordpress widgets, how to create an iPhone style password field, 10 tools to create web design wireframes, that there is a nokia boycott and how that works, there is a preview of Max for Ableton Live, that the Venus probe suggests it once had oceans and plate tectonics, etc.

none of that is reminiscent to me of babies crying or of ‘twits’ wittering. All of that information is either useful for my work, educational for other reasons, or simply entertaining.

Don’t believe the nega-hype. Twitter is essentially a micro-blogging tool, it is not a method for random teens to tell you about breakfast. The fact you have overlooked : You subscribe to INTERESTING channels.

simple eh?

Human beings have an innate, overwhelming compulsion to “express themselves” and have people pay attention to what they have to say. I understand that a baby can cry simply because it wants someone to pay attention to it.

And yes, I see the irony of me posting this thought.

Twitter- I’m no user, I don’t miss it and it doesn’t miss me.
I’ve been on a Hyves, but after a while stopped, because at some point I realised that it took me more time to keep that updated for my friends than just visiting them face to face.
Since I stopped using Hyves and since I lessened my use of mail, I see people more often and I find that my quality-time hase gone way up.

So now from time to time I comment on some blogs, I barely watch tv and I only browse the net for 1 hour a day max. And I’m happy.

Hah, Steve Dotto is still somewhat prominent? I remember the last time I stumbled upon his show, I had to personally see the hardware he was using to verify weather I was watching some rerun episode from years ago or not. I was surprised when I found out it was just recent. Go figure.
