I'm drastically reducing my use of Twitter. You can read about that over here at Twitip, which is (unsurprisingly) a blog all about Twitter tips.
One thing I very imply quite strongly is that Twitter is like junk food, and it is. Another way to think about it, as discussed on Backstoryesque, is that Twitter is like talkback radio.
So Graham has a a few bees in his bonnet. And obviously no one listens to him, so he has to call talkback radio to have his thoughts heard and thereby vindicated.The irony is that, despite having his thoughts broadcast across Brisbane at audience-rich drive time, and undoubtedly heard by many thousands of people, still no one cares.
... does this sound like any social networking app that you know?
Does it ever.
Whenever someone proclaims Twitter is the new wondrous revolutionary tool... well, how are you being revolutionary? Is your use of Twitter just another kind of talkback radio?
The medium is not the message, and it's messages that cause revolutions. Twitter as a medium is cool. The message, at the moment, is largely uninspiring.
