Wednesday night was the first real argument I had with someone about twitter. It was weird because I figured this person would have waaaay more sense than to signing up and gett a twitter and having the nerve to ask me to follow them.
"you blog so you might as well get twitter. You ask me to read your blog...."
So lets get this straight. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Twitter basically letting everyone know everything you do all day everyday? Lets be honest, that's all it is. You can only used 140 characters, and you cant post videos, or photos. Hm, this kind of sounds like text messaging not blogging. If i wanted to let you know what I am doing.....wait, I wouldn't want to let you know what I am doing all the time. Why the fuck would I want to do that? I don't do that on this blog and I dont even do that shit on Facebook or Myspace. I may put in my status every once in awhile that I had fun hanging with my friends or whatever, but for the most part I quote movies or songs that have to deal with me. If we're aiming then yeah, of course, because we're having a conversation. Twitter is bulletins without having a profile page with pictures and music on it. I guess someone figured that all people do on Myspace was read other people's bulletins. I guess people didn't contact other people who they haven't seen in years or go onto music artist pages and listen to music. And to be honest, the only reason why Facebook smashed Myspace was because immature ass people would sign on to other people's shit and fuck with their profile page. It became unsafe to be on Myspace. That's understandable but it sucks because I personally think Myspace is still better but I use it less because 98% of who I talk to is on Facebook. I don't see how reading someones twitter is more exciting, entertaining, or intriguing than reading a blog, a magazine(print or online) aiming, or just having a real fucking conversation.
Is America that damn bored and lazy? Oh wait, twitter is on world status huh? well shit, is the damn world that bored and lazy? Twitter is fucking stupid. The only way you could compare Twittering to blogging is if you read someones blog in which all they talk about is what they did today or the next day. Do I do that? I don't think so. I put in conversations that I have had that relate to the topic to give it more life, but I certainly do not come up on here talking about how I just played video games with my brother or how i just got off work, lets hang out. You wont ever catch me on twitter or following someone on twitter. Every artist I listen to is probably on twitter, and I don't follow none of em. I'd rather see an article on a band I like that takes you in a day in the life or see photos, not some bullshit twitter shit. I don't care, I like blogging. Call me stubborn, whatever, Fuck Twitter.
p.s. It will not be getting Internet sensation on the Cookie Monster Awards at the end of the year. That's how much I loathe it.

i think twitter is for the insecure. phukk twitter, is my opinion. actually. our generation is becoming more and more isolated. i mean, we blog and email to get answers, not to become connected or involved. we text but we don't call. the people who i know have twitter are the ones who want you to care. you know, the ones who are so desperate to have you comment their pictures on myspace, or go to a party to get wasted. these people irritate me. and i would be extremely happy, and shocked, if i could meet someone with twitter than does not fit that stereotype. anywhoziez, nice blog francis briggs.
woooord
duh twitter is stupid, duh its for attention. duh people dont need to feel special for recognizing that. but i wouldnt put people that go to partys to get wasted in the same category as the people that tell everyone what they're doing every 5 minutes or however it works. this was sucha waste of breath.
annnnd actually a lot of people that have blogs do have them to talk about what they do and whats going on with them. its gross, but true.. sooo, your blog is a breath of fresh air, as long as you refrain from talking about stupid shit like twitter.
um no one on here ever said that there weren't people who have blogs in which they only talk about what they did that day. I said the only way you could compare twitter to blogging is if there was a blog which the author did the same shit you'd do on twitter...
but thank you
i knew what you meant. you just took what i said the wrong way. i wasnt correcting you.
