Twitter: The Privacy Destroyer
Subject: Twitter
Summary:
Twitter, is known as a social network/blog. It is mostly used on phones and portable electronic devices to let your "followers" know what you are doing. Its like a very slows instant messaging service where you are instant messaging everyone.
Significance:
I find the whole idea of Twitter ridiculous making it in my opinion the worst social network ever. Compared to Facebook where there is some sense of equality where everyone gets the same treatment, Twitter is mostly used for Hollywood celebrities to let their fans know what they are doing. I mean look at it, you are known as a "follower". You are basically showing that you are that persons "bitch".
Also I feel that it increases the other persons ego. "look I have 300,000 followers in Twitter" great...here is a cookie.
If you lower the scale and only use it to lets your friends and family know what you are up to then, sure i guess its a good idea. However I still feel like its still in a beta stage. Not everyone has a smart phone that allows them to access Twitter which makes the service flawed.
Overall, I feel that Twitter is a useless social network that has few advantages and its a service that not everyone can easily use and access at this point in time. Maybe in a few years when smart phones are dirt cheap Twitter use will soar. However untill then I still feel its something only for Upper class citizens and Hollywood celebs to use and show off. It also shows how little privacy we will have in the future.
Thank you for reading :D
