Twitter is one of the social networking sites that have taken the nation by storm. From high school students to celebrities, everyone has been tweeting. But is there a thing as too much tweeting?
As long as Twitter has been a hot topic I have been against it from the start. What do you mean you “tweeted” something? Who is following you and why don’t you have a restraining order on them? The whole concept is very stupid. It is basically your Facebook status without the other awesome features of Facebook. It also has the dumb concept of screen name that actually isn’t your name. Who knows that Justin Power is @TELS34?
Twitter is also promoting self-obsession. It is basically you saying what you are doing and bragging to everyone one of how awesome you are. No one cares that you just bought a sweater on sale or that you are watching the season finale of “Keeping up with the Kardashians.” People are becoming self-obsessed with themselves because they think that people care about what they are doing and they think that they are friends with celebrities just because they follow them on Twitter. Not only is Twitter promoting the negative of self-obsession it is also encouraging border line stalking.
I was very excited to get my chance to let people know my opinion of this stupid waste of Internet time and space. It would be unfair for me to write this unless I started to tweet myself. I created @TylerPumaT (follow me) and started tweeting. This was the end of my life as I knew it. I started tweeting all the time. Tweet at people, # everything that I was thinking. Following people, which really just is virtual stalking, who I have never heard of. Obsessing over whether or not people thought my tweets where clever or not. Actually feeling bad when someone said my Tweet was “Stupid.”
My opinion on Twitter is still the same. I still think it is a useless waste of the Internets unlimited space. However I have become hopelessly addicted and all I have to say is #Ihavenolife.
