This is one of the best blogs I’ve read in ages. I became aware of twitter recently when I wrote about a business plan and the author of the plan read it, and didn’t like what he read. Then began a little hate campaign on Twitter ( still going strong ) which was aimed at my website and has seen traffic to my website increase no end!

Leave aside this unintended favour they’ve done for me, it quickly became apparent that ( just as you suggest ) here we have people 1/ with a lot of time on their hands, and 2/ who are attention hoares. It’s sad really. It makes one wonder if the name should be spelled Twit – ter.

See, I was right on board, but then I found out about the kickbee!

Turns out twitter isn’t just a tool for people to post irrelevant details of their dull, dull lives; now foetuses can join in too. Twitter and self-absorbed parents: the cream of the Internet in one place. Now if only there were some way to include youtube comments and Viagra spam in the package, we would never have to read anything else again.

I got to give you respect, you were hating Twitter way before it was cool. (“Posers, I was hating Zoidberg before it was cool”). Twitter seems to be the realm of those for whom Facebook and GOD FORBID, RSS Feeds are far too intellectually challenging. I know this isn’t strictly true, as I know a few otherwise intelligent people who choose to degrade themselves by having a Twitter account (at least one of them claims it’s strictly for work communication- this is acceptable for a worker, not for his place of employment- I mean e-mails and texts aren’t good enough?).

I like your curmudgeon rant. It skewers the latest vogue and pushes back on what is becoming establishment. You even have a rationale. Now where do your peers stand?

I think I’ve just found out how Twitter plans to make money: http://s2.b3ta.com/host/creative/13/1242131080/autotweet.gif
