It is amazing how fast things change, for instance three and a half years ago no one ever heard of Tweeting, and now unless you are a Tweety-Bird and constantly tweetering to your fellow tweeties, you may as well not exist. To make matters worse, as I understand it if you do not tweet or if you do not belong to a group of tweeters, then you are a twit.
This is very unfortunate indeed, but I guess I was never a Pepper either. Sometimes, I look at all these people tweeting and realize that since am tweeterless, I am just not in the in crowd anymore. Everyone tweets these days even our new President who is said to be quite the tweet'er with one of the largest followings of little tweeties. Now, I do not mean to make an excuse for myself for not seeing the rationale behind tweeting, as I can see a few very good uses for it actually.
It's just that I and many folks I know, well we do not really have anything that is so important to say that needs to be fast-blasted to all our friends and acquaintances in one-hundred and forty characters or less. Now if someone is a celebrity and uses this for promotion, or if someone has a group of party-animal friends who like to converge like a smart mob on a night club, or if a company has a cult following, well then, yes, I get it, makes a lot of sense.
For me, I guess I am just a twit and cannot be too hip, because I have nothing so urgent I need to say; zip. But if it helps you win friends, influence people and relieve stress then be my guest; as for me, I remain tweeterless.
