PART 1 – My notes on twitter-o-mania…. The social networking phenomena
“For all our subtleties we don’t know exactly where will twitter lead us to one day…”
Struck by an asteroid named twitter………..no no twitter-o-mania……………………no no I love twitter……….
Some of the titles are struggled with for this article after I decided to finally give up. A lot of things have impressed him in the past technologically but none drew me as crazy as twitter. You know why because it’s the simplest to use after Google search. It helps me to express myself without thinking and being true about myself to the world. A lot of hype surrounding twitter is about the celebrity profiles and their freaky followers. But to me I am my own celebrity. Not that I don’t Idolize people I admire many but I wanted a way to express myself in a more clear and simple way continuously. Its medium which is a reflection of me and others like me because everyone likes genuineness and similar flow of thoughts.
Twitter is terrific in more than one sense as far as digital text is concerned. When you are online 25 hours a day then you need a mode of expression. For people like me a simple mode because now even Facebook has a similar offering. But I don’t know when it comes to expressing myself personally I prefer the twitter phenomenon. As I write down more and more about this I have loads of examples about how does twitter connects you through the geographical divide socially.
Getting down to the real thing why so much affection for twitter? After using twitter for close to a month I found a new vigor in me to express my thoughts and catch with my old interest for writing. Every big thing starts from a small one. So with me if I want to write blogs I need to micro blog.
Although the way this been invented online is in the reverse order. The reason being if you connect to other people then only you feel like writing something presentable to an audience. With twitter the basic hindrance is washed away because of 140 character tweets which takes seconds to read and write.
And no wonder I have started blogging quite a lot infact still I am so much impressed with twitter that sometimes I just tweet for hours doing nothing else online. As I am learning about the ways in which twitter has revolutionized social networking and digital text – with the #hashtags addition. I cannot find any other utility online which just brings my entry to the top of search results in real time.
If I try and understand the twitter phenomena may be I will write a whole book full of my notes. But I will key in my notes the way I like because I cannot resist this temptation of being part of the twitter evolution. One might wonder as people around me are that why so much fuss about twitter ? I will come back to it later in may be the third part of this blog.
As I mentioned since these are my notes so I would like to start with the distinctness of twitter. 140 character tweets or ur thoughts or ur feelings or a link u like with some comments or a bully or a mood or a feeling or may be spam …. No synonym can define it fully.
to be contd…
