Shorter. Faster. Easier. More, more, more. Blogging has increasingly become re-blogging. Things are posted and re-posted so many times you hardly know the original source. Tumblr exemplifies this trend. Almost all stuff by all members is juicy, only that you may never know any detail of what’s blogged. And of course, I was too tempted not to open one! Or two (and definitely more)…
With so many things posted online, it should be very reasonable for me to have a database bankruptcy complex. I always don’t believe God so I don’t think he will listen to me. For those who always talk to him and if you are nice enough, please say the above. Thanks.
As my usual obsessive compulsive practice on the World Wide Web I opened Twitter accounts. Not one, not two, but three. One for completing updates in the super feed. The second for my own randomness, the common Twitter use. Another for Jimmy — he’s independent of me now.
At first I acted just like all of my friends who don’t care about joining Twitter. I thought it is silly to jot down every mundane thing that we do, but it turns out to be an interesting activity of recording daily life. I couldn’t deny its importance as I saw more people using and more discussions on its success. Not only personal Facebook-status-like entries are there, but also very useful information such as official (or unofficial) highlights of newspapers and organizations. Some users provide lines of thoughts and wisdom. It’s not only for the nosy, but also the intellectual and intelligent. Celebrities and politicians use it, meaning it is the right medium for focus of interest. It’s amazing what 140 characters (maximum of each post) can do. There are other micro-blogging sites, but with its sweet and simple interface, you simply have to follow Twitter.
