I'm never, ever twittering. Blogging takes up enough time, so this is a distraction too far.
I'm still at a loss as to what's so appealing about it. It's just like constantly updating your Facebook status isn't it? So why is that interesting for anyone, because to do it you'd have be sitting down somewhere (probably). So you couldn't, for example, say 'I'm currently swimming across Lake Geneva', because it wouldn't be possible, therefore it would be 'I've just seen an Ikea van go past my window' or something. Hardly amazing.
I wonder why people are slavishly following other people and why this is catching on so fast. It's only been about a month and it's taken off like sliced bread. Perhaps it's just a fad, a craze, like the Rubik's Cube. Or they want to be friends with a celebrity.
Can someone please explain the appeal? Does it lie in the fact that people like to be followed or they like to 'broadcast'?
Do tell.
