I really enjoyed the "Twouble with Twitter" video, but I always feel a little weird answering questions about Twitter.  I really don't know enough about it to do it justice, but then again I am not brainwashed by it.  Who are you talking to? I have no idea.  I'm pretty sure the people "tweeting" have no idea either.  Anyone can follow you.  I made a Twitter, never used it, and still have five people following me.  How does that happen?  This is one reason why I do not like Twitter.  You can have stalkers and you can't do anything about it.  People can actually listen to you unlike real life.  In my mind Twitter is an illusion, but I do like blogs.  I like to write whatever I feel like without anyone caring.  I like the opportunity for people to read, but the reality that chances are it's not going to happen.  I think that my relationship with my online audience is great.  I'm pretty sure it's just Professor Lay and God, but that's alright with me.

I think I bashed Twitter enough in my 4 of 12 blog to even write anymore about how useless I think it is.  I do like the idea of microblogging, but some people just share way too much information.  I don't care that you found a parking spot or are eatting lunch.  Keep that to yourself.  What is the purpose of microblogging?  To make people seem popular.  I know of girls who think that they have so many friends because of Facebook and Twitter, but if they would just step back into reality they would realize that they don't know any of those people.  It's a sad truth that I might just actually see what Twitter is all about for a week just to back up my thoughts.
