Well, if you feel that you are not connected to the online world enough, you’re in luck. Introducing “Twitter”, a micro-blogging site that asks you only one question… “What are you doing?” Instant updates on your status are immediately posted on your profile and also sent to your fellow Twitters. You can send and receive your updates (or as the website calls them, “tweets”) by logging onto their site, or even by text messaging via cell phone. You pick who you want to be connected with and voila, you can know what your friends and family are doing all the time.
I can see it now…
“Please include the following information: Name, Occupation, Birth date, religious preference, relationship status, myspace url, facebook name, youtube identity and Twitter log-in name.”
Maybe I wouldn’t be so opposed to the idea if this new way of blogging didn’t have such a corny name. Twitter? Sounds more like an annoying yellow bird than the newest coolest social networking site. I guess it’s a matter of how connected you really want to be with your closest buddies, without having to pick up the phone or have a “real” relationship with anyone. As for me, the myspace koolaid is enough for now…
