Twitter?!?

[Huny]

I've had twitter for a year, but don't feel I need to announce status messages every second. I think I update twice a month. I am addicted to Facebook, more for the applications and friends status updates. I used to be addicted to Myspace until Applications took over there too. I wanted that to talk to people. Call me a hypocrite, I want apps on Facebook, not Myspace. I have a Bebo, Yahoo 360, and other 'networking" timewasting spots. Would anyone miss me if I wasn't on there? Prob. Not! It's a generational thing though, I can be the nosy neighbor and know everything going on in everyones lives without ever leaving my bedroom

Same crud as Facebook and MySpace. I do not want people knowing everything about me or what I'm doing every minute of every day nor do I care to be that "connected" to all those people. I get itchy and clausdrophobic just thinking about it. <<<shudder>>> Gawd, Oprah is pushing it! That is enough reason to stay far, far away!

I thought of the same thing when I first learned of Twitter. I knew it was a going to have a very brief shelf-life when I had to explain it to my teens.
I think all the twits will soon get bored with tweeting and move on to the next 15-minute fad!

I get texting now. My youngest was O/O/S at a band competition. Too noisy to ever talk to her, but texting and knowing what was going on was awesome! They got a Superior rating and came home with a trophy.

Now my sis and a dozen friends all want me to be on Facebook. But what about all those people that I'm glad I'm not in touch with??? Couldn't Facebook actually turn into something I'd rather not be a part of? Plus, it kinda bugged me that when sis wrote "Join Facebook so you can see your neice's Easter pictures. I can't find the links for them again to e-mail them."
Like blackmail, sounded like.

Twitter would therefore be trivial internet chatter.

I believe the message itself is called a tweet.
What scares me is that even Nancy Pelosi has been known to send a tweet or two...lol

Never been on twitter. I like facebook, I am a SAHM and my family lives over six hours away. I can stay up to date with them on facebook. I dont like myspace as well, it seems cluttered and pointless.

BUT when I first got on facebook, you always saw this little message, "what are you doing right now?"

I never got it. Huh? I am on the internet, duh!

And anyway, all I ever do is clean the house and cook.
So it would go like this-

"trying to get the kitchen clean"
"feeding chickens"
"Making supper"
"Folding clothes"
"picking up toys"

Does anyone REALLY want to know all that?

Most of my Facebook friends are BYCers. My non-chicken friends are
confused by all the chicken references. I always threaten to give their
kids a silkie. I can see them scratching their heads.

*wonders how I can fool PC into thinking I'm a neighbor's kid...*

Didn't you forget "still on BYC, need to get something done but cannot slip away from computer"
