it's been awhile! had a thought today on twitter.

i twit. but i find it very unsatisfying. first of all, i find it very limiting. i can understand its attraction yet, ulimately, i think it's very unchristian in its core.

here's why i think it:

1. it promotes instant _____ (gratification, result, news, etc.): now, we know we all live it, talk it, walk it - all to be instant but i think twittering just keeps promoting this incessant need to update, to see what's going on. i mean, don't we do that enough already on facebook?

2. it's all about you...and what YOU like. it doesn't have a broad appeal as a website, or yes, again, facebook. because it's run on keywords, your interest, you only seek out those who you want to befriend for your purpose. there's no getting to know process, because as mentioned in #1, it's just instant - instant update, instant "-ship" with another.

thirdly, i think it just promotes dead time. yes, i can say that about blogging, surfing the web, facebooking, but because you have to limit everything to 140 characters, you actually have to concentrate, think, and then write cleverly (lest others see your BLAH-comments - who'd want to follow you??) - all again, mental energy.

so i vote NO to twitter!
