Cohen Tue, 18 Nov 2008 15:34:58 +0000 http://www.techprnibbles.com/?p=95#comment-319 While it is true that many, many people do update Twitter with useless bits of info, and in the past it was a bastion of minutiae better left to the ether, if you follow the right people and manage that list correctly while offering your own useful information and links it is a powerful Social Media and Networking tool. Believe it or not there is a learning curve to Twitter. It's best when people post tinyurl links to articles and information, join the discussion and add value rather than tell others what type of salad they are ordering or what color their poo might be. Good ideas sometimes take time to germinate. Twitter has evolved because the users have made it useful. They have contributed the most value to Twitter, I suspect more than any other Social Networking site and that’s because of Twitter’s simplicity. I blog less because of Twitter. In fact, I find people (myself included) apologize for blogging or emailing (instead of just replying or Direct Messaging through Twitter) saying that sometimes “140 characters is just not enough.” But it seems that most of the time 140 characters is just right.

That people would deem it necessary to divulge the most superfluous details of their mediocre lives is beyond me. "I'm at the airport." - who cares! "I will be Twittering again in 5 minutes" - get a life! Problem is that as people get more followers, they get stars in their eyes and think that their following needs updates about their silly lives. I would ban Twitter from the workplace because I think the entire notion of microblogging is bad for people. Twitter is a terrible waste of time.
