What is up everyone, lovely weather were having isnt it? Just kidding, now let me tell you a little story about my life and a week of twitter. It started off pretty rough, me, being an avid facebook addict did not want to accept a new social networking site. I was perfectly happy with facebook being my one and only, we were so happy together just the two of us.
Then all of a sudden the infamous "Twitter" was crammed into my comfort bubble. First they stripped me of all my dignity and forced me to start and account, soon after I was told I must have 40 friends or they'd kill the girl(hypothetically of course). Next I was told that if I didnt fullfill my quota of 20 tweets for the week they'd sever my fingers so I couldnt Facebook any longer(also hypothetical). I came out kicking and screaming like an angry hormone filled 10 year old school boy looking for a fight: I didnt want any part of "Twitter" because I LIKE MY FACEBOOK AND THAT'S ALL!!!!! >:(
So gradually I filled my quota of tweets and friends and I said good day to you Mr. Twitter. Personally I didn't really enjoy it, there was a couple tweets I read from some commedians that liked but posting for me just seemed like a hassle. I had to get to a computer sign on and tweet what I was doing. This all seemed pretty creepy to me, telling everyone what I was doing, not to mention the fact that I had nineteen other people following my every move. (Looking left and right pausing for dramatic effect)
Now I can see why some people would enjoy tweeting, it's a good way to see what people are up to and keep up with news. But in my own opinion Twitter is not for me, I find it both awkward and much to stalkerish. What ever happened to the good ol' days when you had to physically follow someone around.(totally kidding) I believe Twitter will bring rise to a new age of cyber-stalking, where machines run the world and Skynet rules all !!!! Oh wait that's terminator, nevermind that then. On an ending note though Twitter is not for me but it wasn't as bad as it could have been.
Again I'm your news anchor Owen Burgandy signing off, and you stay classy Ames, Iowa.
