Twitter is a hype

What is Twitter? Twitter wants to know what you are doing 24 hours a day. When you create an account there is a text box with 140 characters, the idea is that you keep everybody up to date with what you are doing every moment of your life. All those messages show up on your friends page and all their updates will appear on yours.
Imagine all the valuable time at offices being wasted because of a every employee needs to check all the status updates of his or her friends.

When I googled “Twitter sucks’, I found  20,400,000 results within 0.11 seconds. Why are there so many anti-twitter websites? Because they (just like me) don’t want to know what Jack Johnson is eating  for breakfast, and/or his likes and dislikes about his colleagues at  work. There is too much useless information on the internet and Twitter is providing a way to spread even more. Twitter is over-hyped,. Even local politicians use it,. They think they will reach their young voters , by providing them with (again) useless and uninteresting information.

A couple of short facts why twitter sucks:

  • Twitter users might think they are having a private conversation but in fact the whole world can read along.
  • Lots of the twitter users are “spammers”; they use their account to advertise.
  • It is proven that the X generation is more enthusiastic about Twitter then the younger Y generation. Is this because Twitter is designed to be understood by elderly, digi-noobs and retards?
