Do you have a Twitter account? And if you have, why do you have a Twitter account?
Because it's free. It's a message utility. Those are attractive features to me. First, it's free and second, I can utilize it to send messages to friends and followers(?) . You know the thing you use to update (friends and followers) synchronously. The vehicle to tell the world, "Hey, I just woke up and I haven't brushed my teeth yet!" as if that matters.
There were geeky observations that this communication instrument is being abused and improperly utilized because some twitterers (?) just use it to market their blog posts, or articles. They say that is unjustifiable. "Errr.. sirs.. am guilty, your honors!" I actually use the darn tool most of the time to update (friends and followers) about my recent posts and articles. Just like that.
Because I cannot think of a sane reason why people would be interested in my daily activities. "Sirs, I am not interesting. I am not MJ. I am not Madonna. I am not Aubrey Miles (who is following me, and my kids told me that it is not Aubrey Miles he he, that it is so easy to fake Twitter accounts - "how true, how true?")."
And because I am guilty, I tried a different approach. I tried to read the updates of the friends and followers(?). And it's worth it! I discovered great finds, I mean twits:
While maybe some of the twitters find the whole activity boring, try to browse and click. You will discover things that might be of interest to you. You'll find interesting blog pages, too!

I don't twit. Or is it tweet? hehe
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link regarding Freddie Aguilar. He had some interesting things to say in that article!
twit according to twitter, wil! ha ha
ReplyDeleteinteresting... that means you agree with him?
I twit what I call my "mental snapshots", things that come to mind at a particular moment. Other than those, the rest I put down on my blog. :)
ReplyDeletemental snapshots.. that's nice a term.
ReplyDeletefreddie aguilar said those things? no wonder I never liked any of his music even as a kid ("Bayan Ko" was NOT his composition).
ReplyDeletehi, tk! na-turn-off ako actually.
ReplyDeleteIt was actually Mariah Carey who supposedly said that. Aguilar was just commenting on what Carey allegedly said.
ReplyDeleteI mentioned this post on my blog, btw. ;)
yes, wil, it was his opinion. but it was like pulling down a fellow men. your comment on the slogan on your post is understandable. but for Freddie Aguilar to be sounding like he's a bitter, long-forgotten musician, it is not positive at all.
