Twitter no more...

[sleigh]

Having played with Twitter for a month or so now, I'm finding that I'm not all that interested in everybody's tweets, nor do I bother to tweet much myself. The character imitation makes everything feel shallow and superficial to me, and far too many of the posts are of the "I'm eating chicken for dinner" variety, which bore me entirely. At this point, I think I'll simply let Twitter lie fallow for a week or so, see if I miss it (I expect not to miss it at all), and then close the account...

Anyone want to argue for staying active on Twitter? Am I missing something?

There is nothing about Twitter that has even peaked my interest. It sounded unappetizing to me from the get go. Too much random information, of a decidedly uninteresting nature.

Which is not to say I'm not interested in my friends. I LOVE random posts on LJ for exactly that reason -- I love the little windows into someone's life, esp someone I am close to who is geographically far away.

But Twitter feels... different, in that it's short little one liners that really fall into the "I so don't care" category.

On the other hand, I really shouldn't respond to "am I missing something?" on this topic, because I haven't actually signed up and tried it. Just that the connections I've seen to it have ALL been the "having chicken for dinner" kind of thing.

w00t!

Peaked may well be the right word! ;-)
