I was not excited about getting a twitter account, and getting one was just as horrible as I had imagined. It was like a leash... a constant annoyance telling me things that I just didn't care about. In theory, following things that interest you should be great. I could see how people would like it if they had time... but I simply cannot constantly update the world with every step I take, nor can I stand to hear about others every move either. I can easily see it being a great way to move important information quickly and reach the masses, but I don't think it's used enough in that way.
I opened an account of my own, but my real experience was spending some time with my sister who has had one for years. She was showing me the in's and out's and that was helpful, but beyond this study there is no way I will keep it. I don't enjoy other people knowing my every move. I think that I just have a natural aversion to social media, though, as I rarely go on facebook, and I really can't explain why I do at all. I post pictures a lot, but never update status's or browse to others pages. Maybe I need to get with the times!
I can agree in a way because this is how i felt before i really started using twitter. I mean more than anything i almost always felt like it was a wast of time. But the more i started to use it became something i didn't mind using. No i think that i over use it and though one day it will be gone or out dated like MySpace it wasn't so bad after all. lol
ReplyDeleteim with you in having an oddly strong aversion to social media. While i like Deviantart, i have very little to no desire for any other services.
ReplyDeletethe thought of spending time reading what others are doing to me is so boring and such a time waster and twitters been the definition of time waster from everything Ive seen. ("Oh, look! some random person i don't know at all just bought milk! i leek milk, do you?")
Couldn't log on to blogspot Sunday, so here is my blurb. I agree that I was not excited to get a Twitter, either. I had my little sister help me set up my account because I was unsure on how to find people because they do not always go by their names. I feel that it is an easy way to post interesting thoughts about art and class, but it may get annoying to people that are not a part of our class. Luckily, I do not have too many people following me :)
