Tweet this

TWITTER! puke-in-mouth. Okay, I'll admit: I have one. When was the last time I've been on it: I have no idea. You see, it's one thing to have a Facebook status that may describe "what's on your mind", which could be anything from a literal description to a song's lyrics, or a funny quote. It's another thing to say, "in the shower, washing, rinsing and repeating". Shut up! I don't really care. Nobody really cares. Yet for some reason, when Ashton Kutcher sneezes we must all know and "re tweet?". Stupid.

Could we seriously get any creepier or stalkerish? Yes, they are putting it out there for us to stalk, I mean 'follow', but we are also encouraging this strange act of telling the world, in 140 characters or less, how horrible or delightful our day is; how many times we've used the bathroom; or to remind themselves of something later because their life is too absorbed in everyone else's life (via Twitter) that they can't remember their own.

Why should celebrities gain even more attention through this site too? That's another problem I have with Twitter: you can follow your favorite 'celebrity' and know where they are and what they're doing- when some of the biggest news is first spoken of through such a website- when you can idolize someone you don't even know even more by 'following' them. Every day on Live With Regis and Kelly, Kelly would be tweeting on air about what was happening, or talking about other people tweeting to her. I love the show but HATED that part!

I guess the part that I hate the most is privacy: being able to find out so much about people you don't even know... and the worst part is that they're the ones that feel compelled to tell you so much. What is privacy anymore? Really.
