With some people posting normal and nice Twitter updates, and with many others going psycho and posting everything they do in a day and claiming that they do not want attention, Twitter is one of the best examples of how technology can be used for good things and how technology can be abused and overhyped simply because of the existence of that technology. Today I would like to share with you some different Twitter messages that people can submit to Twitter for the sole reason of increasing their Twitter count and to get more of their life details into the attention of other people. And to appear cool also.
The below Twitter messages exist just because Twitter exists, and just because one can Twitter, and because one cannot think of any other reason to Twitter, and just to increase Twitter followers. It seems that the same mentality that has turned innocent blogs into money making professional-services-claiming-to-be-blogs and the non-blog arena into website-filled-with-keywords-and-tags-to-please-search-engines world has also flooded Twitter: people keep describing Twitter and similar services with as many complicated terms and terminologies as possible so that the end result will be more direct or indirect money somehow by making people think “Wow, this is useful because it is sophisticated. I’ma gonna use it! COOL!”
It is as if the fact “Bes eats because there is food” has become the universal law upon which Twittering for many people revolves around. They Twitter because there is Twitter. So I present to you 14 Twitter messages that should help you realize as to what the focus of the message is, and what the real focus should be. Keep in mind that the poster of such messages had no reason behind the message other than to Twitter it. You decide what you would want your focus and reasoning to be for each message if you had a chance.
- In the bathroom.
- Out of the bathroom. Realized I only went in there to Twitter that I was in the bathroom.
- Throwing up while typing this. Food poisoning. Crap got some on the phone
- She is confused as to why I am Twittering during this interview. Just ask me the questions.
- This exam sucks and the moderator keeps looking as if I was cheating through my cell phone.
- Waiting for the cash register to process this sale, holding the customer credit card in my other hand.
- In police station. Handcuffed. Drunk-driving-over-rabbits-offense. Thank god they didn’t take phone away. I can twitter w/phone behind me.
- I woke up.
- Neighbors woke up.
- With my boy friend. He doesn’t know he is my boy friend yet.
- Wife woke up. $&^%
- Following this stranger, a beautiful girl, for hours now. Hope she doesn’t notice; I’m only following to make sure she gets home safe.
- I am Twittering because this is Twitter.
- I am Twittering so Bes can talk about me.
There you go, my Twitter loving or Twitter hating or Twitter confused beings. The above Twitter messages, and many other Twitter updates on similar notes have no purpose for them. Many people simply use Twitter to let everyone else know what they are doing, while others do it to gain attention through more Twitter followers or through the stereotype that the more you Twitter, the cooler you are.
Of course, the funniest thing is to see how many Twitter-obsessed people have no communication skills, no interest in making real friends, no interest in the well being of others, and no interest in how to focus on content instead of creating a hype through presentation.
Thank you for reading and not Twittering.
I will stop here please, so I can think of what to Twitter now. I hope I made you pause your Twitter for at least a few moments. Please let me know what you think, if you have any comments, or if you would like to see more of such messages or would like to share your own messages or ideas.
Thank you for reading. You can get back to your pro-Twitter or anti-Twitter activities now. I will go back to being confused and giggling nervously in my head.
