Alex: Twitter’s Nothing To Chirp About

In case Facebook isn’t creepy enough for you, the latest form of online ADD, Twitter, is there for your basic stalking needs. After all the hype I had been hearing, I eagerly created an account, hoping for the same sense of bedazzlement I felt as soon as a logged onto the MySpace world back in 2005 or Facebook in 2007. What I felt logging on to Twitter for the first time was a sense, not of stepping into a vast world of endless possibilities, but of stepping into a dark void of nothingness. I’m here to confirm that there is absolutely nothing about Twitter that makes it different or new or any more interesting or entertaining than Facebook. It’s a giant scam if I’ve ever seen one, created merely to cash in on the success of stalker-esque internet applications that have been so popular recently/Alex Gratzer, WSU Evergreen. More here.

Question: What do you think of the relatively new Internet tool Twitter?
