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?

Facebook and Twitter are more alike, to me -- but the constant stream of everyone else's quiz results make me crazy, some days. I realize that they're fun for the people who do them -- but I spend so much time "hiding" apps when I check my status list.

Twitter is like the status without the apps.

However... Facebook does allow a conversation to congregate in a way that people can actually read; the @replies on Twitter make that a lot harder.

Overall, when I have time, I really like LJ.
