Twitter..Where Do I Even Begin?
Well well well, I have just signed up for Twitter...this was one thing I had vowed never to do. I think the only reason I didn't want Twitter to begin with was just because it was a "fad", but then again, look at Facebook! I guess just because I have a Facebook account I didn't find it necessary to open another social media network, what was the point to say the same thing to the same people multiple times in multiple places? My point is, there's a lot of creepy people in this world and the less people that found me would be beneficial. On the other hand, now many people (such as business groups) are becoming more technology friendly and are opening Facebook and Twitter accounts. This could find me a job eventually, but now I also have to maintain another social media network. The number of passwords I own is completely ridiculous. Understand, I won't use the same password for more than one site, because that's just plain common sense. Twitter does not seem too appealing to me after this long week. I find it stupid to log on to a site where I can't use more than 100 characters, and only post a status that has to be "socially appealing". The definition of "socially appealing" can be panned out into many different perceptions. My thought on that, if you don't like it, don't read it. Don't let me be the Negative Nancy to your day.

I agree with you that Twitter is not very appealing and I probably will not continue my account after this class either.
ReplyDeleteI have found that Twitter is still so imperfect with it crashing every few days, it doesn't seem worth the trouble either. I intend on keeping mine just to read what other people say, not updating it for myself.
ReplyDeleteI felt the same way. Keeping track of two social media accounts seemed really redundant to me. I would rather just keep it all in one place.
ReplyDeleteI also talked about this earlier too but I do have so many passwords and things I have to remember so adding one more to that list frustrated myself in the first place. And again I can say that i enjoyed following people I knew but I didn't like people I didn't know and the face that they followed me.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree that with the fact that I didn't want a Twitter because it is a "fad." I waited years before I got my Facebook account and even that I am not sure about. I also agree that I didn't feel the need to have another type of social media.
ReplyDeleteWhy does no one like twitter? I find it very useful to keep incontact with people that I would rather not be "friends" with on Facebook. I keep my Twitter rather formal and my Facebook more informal.
