Twitter

[surfgurl]

And my cat had just found you on twitter and started following you!
I guess I use facebook to keep in touch with old friends and what they are up to. I use twitter for entertainment. I follow a couple of comedians etc who make some amusing posts.
I guess I had better explain why my cat is on it and not me. I like the anonymity of my cat as my online identity. I work in a school and would not want any of the pupils to find me online. Not because I have anything to hide, but because it would be inappropriate and unprofessional.
As for how twitter works? You start following people and then some will choose to follow you. Try and get your twitter address on flyers at gigs etc and you will soon get people.

Ah, good idea. I never thought of that.

Twitter is a disgusting waste of time, and symptomatic of the runaway desire of the internet to shorten our attention spans and brainwash us in some kiddies techno playground.

Just like most of the internet, this forum, facebook, email, blogs and the ever proliferating shallow mountain of web based shoot.

How I yearn for the days when I'd get bored of watching TV, turn it off and read more than half a page of a book without my attention span, er, screaming for attention.

The internet is the biggest disaster to happen to our culture and our souls.

Everyone gets to play and everyone can have their 15 minutes. It's the ultimate democracy.

But as Derrida said in his famou......

ooooh, Britney with no pants....

facebook is the biggest joke. It was out like, one year, and everyone jumped ship from bebo or myspace.

Then six months later, everyone is deleting their accounts because it's just *too* good and addictive.

I see people on it all bloody day at work and it destroys productivity. What a frigging joke. Ban it. And ban MSN and all chat stuff.

Imagine what you were doing 20 years ago before the internet. Yep, sniffing body mist off your sleeve and trying to get a frenchy from a drunk girl.

If wasn't healthy but it wasn't virtual either.
