Smthng just happnd to me. My spellng has gone all wrng. Ths is life on earth; post-twitter age. So, the questn now is: xctly wht is TWITTER? Y izt such a rage tht evn Oprah is ridng on da wave?
Truth is. I really dnt knw. Wht I knw is tht I keep lookng up on my bb evytme it tweets. And tht is actually evry few mins of my livng life.
If u ask me wht do I get frm a twttng, I'd say, "less idlng time". Oh, and "bettr utlztn of my rm120/mth unlmted data plan".
Wld my life be any dffrnt w twtr? For now, defntly not. Its jus anthr additn 2 life's sprficial values. But, in the near future; lets jst say, once my kid has grown into a teenager, i'd wnt her on twtr 24x7. & she nds 2 twt on her evry sngle move. W attchd pic. As long s she does tht, i'd forgv her 4 her rpttve errors in spllng.
Some say twtr is micro-blogging. Sm say its anothr way to sms. Sm evn say twtr is just anthr fb sttus updte. I'd say, twtr is "self-brodcstng".
Jst lke a radio sttn, it brdcsts its pgm based on wht the sttn is all abt. & if u missd the brdcst, it wnt b replyed. Twtr is xctly like tht. But its an indvdual brdcst. If u miss a twt, u'd mssd it. Thts it. & 4 evry brdcst, the airtime is just 140letters at any 1 time.
Intrstng bit abt it is tht.. unlike radio sttn, twtr is intrctve. On this note, my dfntn of twtr has grwn to "intractv self-brdcstng". I convrse w my wife & frens on twtr. I got evry update on Wimbldn & EPL on twtr. I even get live-feed frm the local nwspapr on d latst news! N since its a brdcst, evry1 on the same 'freqncy' can 'c' the tweets or feeds. Whch can b annoyng (in a gud way) yet invitng at times.
Y twtr now? Not ystrdy? Well, it wont wrk ystrdy. Coz ystrdy, internet was only for porn. N mobility was just anthr science fction. Today, we've come to an age of 2.4Ghz, blckbrry, MIDs, netbks & free bloggng. Tho moblty is not yet on full swng, those w blckbrry (whch is moblty at its best) will testify tht they can c the bnfts of twtrng.
MID = mobile internet devices, btw.
So twtr, as simple as it seemed, works today. & its destned to b quite a way of life. I see tht it needs some fine-tuning, w spam n stuff, but just like how diamnds like frndstr were cut into a fine jewel like fb, twtr will b going thru a few evolutns until it bcomes part of a human culture. Till then, pls value the fine crft of spellng. Coz itll b gone soon :P

I agree with you Iffil. Science and technology have made all this possible. It has demolished borders and we are now inter-connected with each other and it doesn't matter where you are in the world - you're still contactable.
I myself have been a long time advocate of 'true-mobility' and I really hope that one day, everyone is as 'connected' as we are.
For me, I enjoy the sense of being able to be 'contacted' no matter where I go. Privacy to me is just as simple as not bothering to answer to any emails, sms or chat 'buzz' coming from my phone. I'll answer when I feel too but when I feel that I want some privacy, your messages will be look upon later.
Anyway bro, this is a good article. I'm still longing for my Bold.......
I HEART TWITTER! IM AN ADDICT!
'nuff said. =)
How come i was not mentioned in this post ? LOL ! Keep twittering. Time to get Marsha one as well.
as i'm replying your comments, i'm reaching for that tiny "icon" called tweetdeck. i know that if i press it, it'll keep me very distracted from work for few minutes. but... i'm pressing it anyway......
no.. i'm not an addict.
and yes, i'm in denial.
