Twitter Tourette's

True to form it took me a while to come around to the benefits of the social network phenomenon that is Twitter. I joined Myspace just as everyone was jumping ship and joining Facebook. I eventually followed them onto Facebook which I was happy to do as Myspace was and advertising board from which you would receive constant spam from. No I don’t want to see your band play tonight as I live on the other side of the world to Wellington New Zealand.

Then Twitter came along and celebrity’s were doing this thing called tweeting, which consisted of minute by minute updates about being stuck in a lift or something. So naturally I held back for a while.
Then I joined up and realised that its great to get up to date news and opinions about stuff I’m into. That and I don’t get status updates from someone that I hardly new at school about what their kid is doing.

So I’m a convert but I’ve had to have a massive cull of people who spam too much or have tweet tourettes.
So now I don’t follow any comedians. You would think they would be good to follow but it seems like they don’t have anything to do all day apart from tweet every ten minutes and self publicise. Following Ricky Gervais was the tipping point.
It should be140 characters, not 640 characters split over ten tweets.
