Twitter has been downright silly for me since the very beginning – but then I thought may be that is because I don’t use/understand it well. Then I saw this: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/twitter_stop and was very glad. Some nuisance about twitter:
- “tweet tweet” – someone is doing something somewhere – go check
- “tweet tweet” – retweet – someone really did it
- “tweet tweet” – this url is f**king bit.ly – you have to f***ing click it to see what the heck I am talking about
- “tweet tweet” – gawd this news I heard was really the same one every one else knows about – retweet!
- “tweet tweet” – i want to so follow you for the reason of you following me in reciprocation – puhleez
- “tweet tweet” – sent from my chuck-phone – I bought a $500 device to tweet all the time, how cool!
All that said, I still am on twitter in some automated way, where blog posts get tweeted. Heh.
Well, I just thought I’d add this one in too: http://theoatmeal.com/story/reddit_how, on how bloggers and tweeters have a gazillion share buttons on their blogs/posts or anywhere else. And then, once again like:
- “tweet tweet” – that road is like blocked for the last 2 years, but let’s tweet about it #road #bangalore #fail #totallyapocalypticfailure
- “tweet tweet” – the keys I forgot in my backpack, came thru from my car’s back seat #keys #forgetting #stupidme #stupidyou #car
- “tweet tweet” – vote my ?post=3441 on reddit #reddit #mybloodyawesomeblog.com #my…com?post=3441
I have started relying on twitter for movie reviews and similar things – “objectivity of the masses” as opposed to paid and/or sycophantic reviews in some of our media networks…

Well, I just crossed 1000 tweets since I created the account a year back! I made a quick note of all my observation on twitter in the form or an article too, available here… twitter can be good, bad and ugly depending on the usage. I understand for sure why you don’t like it much.. but somehow, i got addicted to it for sure!
