Twitter might have been a pretty big overnight success story on the Internet, and certainly an important piece of technology as far as online communication goes, but I’ve been a hold out. While Twitter has always sounded interesting to me, the idea of microblogging presented two issues for me: the fear of how much time it would end up sucking up, simply due to how much I’d probably enjoy it. Then there’s the issue of quality content versus noise.
Granted, I was a hold out on Facebook and a number of other online applications that are used for social networking before eventually signing up. In a way, I find this hugely ironic given my love for online communities and my fascination for such technology. Yet, I suppose it is important to note that I don’t always directly participate in things I find interesting, even if I study them quite closely otherwise.
That said, I broke on the twitter thing.
Personally, I know who to blame.
