I recently created a Twitter account. Now, I'm still new to tweeting but so far I find it horribly confusing and increasingly pointless. What I've gathered is that it is essentially the status bar of Facebook... and nothing else. Also, the Twitter terminology is a little difficult to wrap your head around. On Facebook you say, "let's be friends. Friend me!" But the Twitter translation is something like, "I'm following you...". That's just creepy. And on Facebook you can 'comment' on someone's wall, on Twitter... well I'm not exactly sure how people interact on Twitter. I think the only way to actually comment on what someone says is to tweet it in your own space and 'tag' the person. I'm assuming to 'favorite' something is the equivalent of 'liking' something. I'm a little iffy on that too. I mean, I like... Diane Keaton, but she's not my favorite actress! My fear of commitment is too great to designate something as a favorite. But I guess Twitter is good for people who like to constantly change their status. If you change your status every hour on Facebook... you're kind of a tool. However there is something about Twitter that is mildly addicting. And now I have to keep it because I love bitching about it too much to delete it. Complaining is one of my favorite things to do, that's why I'm @PortWhine.
You see, it's clever because I'm Portuguese.
ugh u would come up with something clever like that.....im still holding strong in my refusal to get on twitter even though im increasingly getting more curious about it
ReplyDeleteJust do it. It's so confusing. I feel like an old person, I'm like, "How do you work this Twitter?" But the strange thing is, when I Googled it, it was described as social media for adults. I think I'm just confused by the simplicity of it... like boys! lol.
