To Twitter or not to Twitter?
I was talking with some friends last night, some Twitterers, some not, and they were all urging me to Twitter.
So far I've managed to resist, a) because I fear I'll get obsessed and it will take up all my time, and b) what I read and see of Twitter and its followers I don't really like. That world is full of showboats or people who want to be friends with Stephen Fry, it seems.
But then again it might be fun. I know some regular readers here Twitter, so what do you think? Would you be interested in F-C tweets? Would you care for example, if I suddenly tweeted that after listening to Quo's Burning Bridges I realise how much I like pop songs that incorporate jigs and reels in a rock style? Or that Andrew Castle looks dreadfully ill? Or that I once bought a beautiful handmade coffee table off Mary Tamm?
I mean really, who cares? I know everyone's rushed to do it for fear of being left behind by the Next Big Thing, and you know it's a fad that will fade into normal usage, but I don't know. My finger's hovered over the 'join us' button several times, but I've never gone all the way...
Should I?
