Flutter- when Twitter takes too long

No time to send some tweets to your tweeps? Luckily, a newer, faster version of Twitter is on the way.



As the world of "nanoblogging" is taking off, people are becoming accustomed to updating the world on what they are doing or feeling at any given time. Facebook introduced this with the "status updates" and that was okay because people didn't feel the need to change that thing every time they ate some cereal or took a shit. Then Twitter comes along and puts a limit on the characters of what you can post, so the entire site is a laundry list of what people are doing, all day long.

I think social networking is fine as a whole; it's a great way to keep in touch with people, communicate, and even advertise. Sometimes, though, people need to get off the computer and stop worrying about what everyone else is doing, and they especially need to stop updating people on what they are doing when it is not important and nobody would care to read about it. A good way to determine whether something is worth twittering, would be to consider this scenario: "if I were to call a friend and inform them of what I am doing/twittering, would their response be something like..what the hell, why did you call me to tell me that?" If this is a likely response, then don't waste the 140 characters to tell the world because no one needs to know.

Let's hire some of these Twitter police to run around and put a stop to the useless information people are putting online.
