Comments on: Yeah, uhm, about Twitter… http://mpwilson.com/2009/11/24/yeah-uhm-about-twitter/ Tue, 22 May 2012 23:13:58 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Candice http://mpwilson.com/2009/11/24/yeah-uhm-about-twitter/#comment-3418 Candice Wed, 25 Nov 2009 04:53:34 +0000 http://mpwilson.com/?p=3921#comment-3418 While there are a few people that I pretty much NEED to talk with outside of twitter (because lets face it, Sarah and I could NEVER have a regular convo using 140 characters...could you imagine?), I do like the fact that sometimes I only have very little room to say what I need to say, and when I need to make my point perfectly clear, the more concise the better. "Back off bucko" is a lot more straight forward that an email that ends up taking me 4 hours to write because I have more time to think and worry and try not to hurt someone's feelings and ends up not expressing my extreme desire to kick someone in the teeth, ya know? But on the other hand, I find that when I talk to people outside of twitter I also spend less time on twitter interacting with other people. Like this past week, perfect example. Spent a lot of time emailing/IM'ing and texting, and a lot less time on twitter. (a way to break the addiction perhaps?) All THAT said, there are also certain topics that just should not be discussed on twitter. (yeah, this coming from the girl who tweets anything that falls out of my brain) But I just cannot wrap my head around the people who literally tweet every single detail of their life, relationships, bodily functions, etc. Of course, those are the same people who post under some made up name and ridiculous avatar. Ok I'm done here. I will just talk to you later, I just realized that this took forever to write up and it wasn't supposed to. LOL ;-) While there are a few people that I pretty much NEED to talk with outside of twitter (because lets face it, Sarah and I could NEVER have a regular convo using 140 characters…could you imagine?), I do like the fact that sometimes I only have very little room to say what I need to say, and when I need to make my point perfectly clear, the more concise the better. “Back off bucko” is a lot more straight forward that an email that ends up taking me 4 hours to write because I have more time to think and worry and try not to hurt someone’s feelings and ends up not expressing my extreme desire to kick someone in the teeth, ya know?
