Buy Or Don’t Buy

So I’m a fan of Twitter. I’ve been on it for almost 2 years and it has been treating me pretty nicely until late. Lately, the site was “found out” by the media, filled with spammers and I got the glimpses into people and lives I never wanted.

Remember the month (I think it was March) when the media would not shut up about Twitter? Then everyone ran and got on it. Twitter became the biggest “news site”. Professors and HR people told us that you couldn’t get a job unless you were on twitter because it shows relevance. Good Lord.

Well how about this relevance? Twitter’s trending topics made it a “news story”, now those important trending topics have been a joke.

With topics that are written by the tween-teen crowd reaching the top of the trends, such as 3 words after sex, lies boys tell/lies girls tell, etc, it makes you question how much longer twitter will be around or at least called relevant.

It’s kind of like Myspace. A first of it’s kind, yadda yadda yadda, then it got filled with the teeney boppers and messages were sent to flirt and to make friends in the network. Maybe, just maybe, this kind of “meltdown” of Twitter as we know it, will bring something else to the surface. Another network where snobby adults, like myself, can carry on in our own nerdy ways.
