Props, Twitter is dumb

by Duf Anything and Everything

My brother-in-law and I are about as polar opposite as you can be politically.  We have had several rather heated exchanges over various topics.  However even though I may not agree with his ideas I have to give credit where credit is due. Here he is holding a sign that I couldn’t help but laugh at. Nice one Damon.

Like I mentioned a few days ago I made a Twitter account.  Twitter, for those of you that don’t know what it is, is a free service that is like one big texting cloud.  You are only allowed to send messages up to 140 characters in length so anything that is posted is brief.  Well it is all the rage in the techno/youth crowd.  Everyone is twittering sending out updates by the second of their mostly meaningless daily activities. (isn’t that what blogs are for)  Well this is blogging to the 10th power.  Instead of reading one recap of a person’s thoughts you get besieged by dozens of them throughout a day.  It’s just f’in stupid IMO. 

 I mean who really cares enough about all of these people that you want a real time stream of their every thought or activity?  It’s bad enough that I am on Facebook.  If I read one more person took a “What sort of FILL IN THE BLANK are you?” quiz I am going to throw up.  It’s madness.
