The point I was trying to make is that twitter looks like social media for the sake of social media without any real purpose behind it. And it's the worst kind as I can see how you can get hooked on being reflexive and share your snippets with the world - it's not that you have to articulate your thought and make a meaningful contribution, so FOR ME it's Just another time waster... But as DA said, "everyone is using stuff in a way that makes sense for them" so who am I to make a judgment? Peace wow…hello friends,

Don't you try your "A-lister" Jedi Mindtricks on me. You have groupies too! :) Look, let's not take ourselves too seriously. We're all trying different things. Personally, I don't like the Mybloglog widgets and I won't put one on my blog. I like anomonymity unless I choose to disclose myself through a comment. But I don't mind that people are using it on theirs. It's how it goes. Everyone is using stuff in a way that makes sense for them. Asi, I think I need to Twitter about a fart. Be back here in a few... :) Mack,

Then again I haven't seen a reason why I should. And DA has groupies, the rest of us have no one to give a damned about our 'less than glamourous' moments ;) Asi I don’t get Twitter either, then again I haven’t used it.

I had the same feeling about Twitter when I first checked it out months ago and my opinion about it only changed recently when using it. But I don't feel I have to post things like "I just farted" or my innermost deep secrets or feelings. I see it as a way to capture "short stories" as they happen. It's probably not for everyone and I can see why you're turned off. Like I said in my post, I only use a technology when I see a fit, and this feels OK to me. BTW, how do you judge authenticity? This morning I was so happy that it was not freezing out and I quickly captured the thought. It might be silly, but why is that not authentic? Good post Asi.
