Twitter

I dont really remember when I created my first twitter account, maybe about two or three years ago. But still fresh in my mind, at that moment I was following my favs actors, singers, writers, or famous people and a couple of my friends. I assume this microblogging more better that blog. Blogging in 140 chars would be easier. If we're busy, have no time or energy to post thougtful or dont have much to say twitter is the way. 

Timeline. Through the timeline I able to know what my favs actors doing, what next projects from my favs writers or when my musicians hold their concert and reply my friends tweets. More than that, I know what's happening all around the world and found beautiful quotes. But lately, many tweets arent meant to me and their tweets are meaningless ( highly doubt my tweets arent meaningful too). Somepeople  just tweets without think twice.

Nowdays, almost friends of mine have account twitter. And  it's kinda hard to make your timelime more meaningful. If your following your friends, you woudnt possible to unfollow em. Couple of em tweeting almost every minutes. I know what they're doing from timeline and often jugde em only from their tweets. Sometimes I think  I need to delete my account. But I still wanna touch up with what's happening and still update.

So... I'll try to tweet something meaningful. Try to not make rubbish in my followers timeline. And being more less reading timeline.

By the way, I wonder what people think about twitter and found my favs bloggers thoughts

so here's...

Because of Twitter, sometimes we forget the joy of being alone.

Because of Twitter, we rarely completely enjoy something since we are now too busy tweeting about that.

Because of Twitter, we lose the excitement of getting to know strangers.

Because of Twitter, we speculate too much over something.

Because of Twitter, it becomes too easy for us to believe in something though we have not proven that what we read is true.

Because of Twitter, we judge people only upon what they write.

Because of Twitter, our mask gets thicker, and thicker, yet it becomes easier for us to fake ourselves.

Because of Twitter, we think we know someone too much.

Because of Twitter, we stalk people, we want to know everything about them.

Because of Twitter, sometimes we don’t respect people’s privacy anymore.

Because of Twitter, we forget that we are human who have the ability to control our behaviour and blame a social networking website instead. -Alanda Kariza

Nowadays, we have a growing tendency to share and share more, from what you learned today to what you eat this evening to what you are doing this very moment… everything. And the world wide web epitome of this brand new culture of sharing is obviously, none other than Twitter.

Three years ago I don’t give a damn about the spoiled milk in your fridge, and neither do you. But now, following an active Twitter user means I have readied myself to know how your cat behaves weirdly this morning, how you scored five successive strikes on tonight’s bowling game (I actually wish I could), or how you try to sound posh by using nine different languages in one tweet. The seemingly endless stream of information is getting more and more irksome each day, as also noted by my friend @tchvinkle in her post, and while her pet peeve is into spending too much time minding other people’s trivial business, mine revolves around how it’s getting too easy to read people like a book just from their tweets. People might say to not judge someone by their tweets, but for the people using Twitter’s definitive “What’s happening?” to update every 10 minutes, deducing traits is a no-brainer. While your behavior might not go along with your tweet, but what you update that very second is what you really think. That guy is a punctual whiner, possibly spoiled by his folks. This dude tries too hard to sound altruistic, yet updates every time he had done something good. That lady can’t live a day without shopping, definitely spoiled by her folks. This girl displays acute narcissism, thinking everyone’s interests revolve around her.  There’s more coming from the timeline and these are just a few. I’m not saying this with a better-than-thou attitude, but yes, constant viewing of a timeline of collective whining is hardly bearable. Perhaps being less around Twitter is the solution and I’m working on it, because as I see it, Twitter has made me post here less frequently and much more condensed I couldn’t even write stuff longer than 500 words without being distracted. Microblogging is in no way equal to writing a real blog post that takes time and effort to make, and being able to write good is my sole aim for now. So now I’m off doing my best remembering the life before social network! -Kevin Aditya
