Re: Tweet This: I Don't Care

I tweet occasionally for the benefit of a few people who need to know
whether I'm incommunicado. Unlike Stephen Fry, I save my wit and wisdom for
less transient and less restrictive media.

I can't help but tell you -- I hate Twitter.

It's just... useless. For me.

I already have a blog, which allows me to publish content in 
more than 140 characters.

What is the allure? Please, tell me.

If you want to "follow" me, good luck. Or rather, try my RSS feed.

Are people so absorbed in themselves that they really want to 
let everyone in the world know what they are doing at any 
given moment? Isn't that disturbing, in and of itself?

If you already have a blog, and Twitter, please don't tell me 
[1] in your blog's RSS feed what you're Twittering about. It 
smacks of self-absorption and self-promotion.

Yikes. Scary.

Please. Stop it.

I'm not "following you" anyway.
