What's the big deal about Twitter? Do we really need another way to know what someone is doing? Aren't Facebook and Gtalk staus updates enough? In my days of doing nothing I decided to join Twitter to see what all the buzz was about... I don't quite understand the hype. I mean so you can see what people are doing, you can do that by stalking them on Facebook or here's a thought call them and ask them. Do we honestly need to know what are friends, family and celebrities are doing at all hours of the day? There are those that are obsessed with updating their status on all social network sites, I literally saw on girl that was essentially giving a play by play as she was going into labor. It went something like this.... (name has been changed)
Jane is feeling contractions (9:57 am)
Jane is getting her stuff together to go to the hospital and calling her hubby(10:30am)
Jane is waiting for her doctor (11:55am)
Jane is going into labor (1:45pm)
Jane is still in labor (5:30pm)
Jane is the mother of a baby girl (9:30pm)
Is it really necessary? What ever happened to keeping things private? Are Facebook, Gtalk and Twitter updates allowing us to legally stalk each other?
Unfortunately its a product of the "look at me" society - where everyone is important. like writing a blog - basically just screaming for attention.
