tweet, tweet

After reading our assigned twitter article, I was slightly confused. At some points the author was dissing Twitter and only mentioning their diminishing amount of users yet after speaking to the CEO of Twitter the author says that numbers are at some of the highest they have ever been. Speaking as a fan of Twitter, I have recently been tweeting more often then in the past. I think my more recent interest in Twitter lies within the fact that I think Facebook has been totally exploited in recent months. I'm sick of freshmen from my old high school friend requesting me, seeing the same status updates everyday and my parents trying to snoop through all my pictures. Twitter is a more private way to express what you are doing daily and what your current interests are without all the picture tags, bumper stickers, and Farmville gifts. The idea behind Twitter is significant in these days because people don't have much time to read long drawn out news articles so when you can only post your thoughts in 140 characters it makes staying up to date with current news a lot easier and quicker. I hope Twitter is here to stay but doesn't grow as dramatically or evolve as crazily as Facebook did.
