My Twitter Experience

03/17/10: I put in a question about the usefulness of job search on twitter
03/17/10: I answered to someone on a tweet about "pointless babble".

I posted and I replied. But things got complicated as more and more people started to tweet. There were a bunch of topics flying around, someone advertising a product, someone mentioning about politics, etc. It simply was a chaos for me without ever saying anything meaningful or getting anything meaningful out of it.

Class discussions or even blogs are my preferred way to discuss something. I think blogs are best to really pour down your thoughts at your own pace. The writer and the reader can submerge themselves into the topic. Not so in the ocean of messages on Twitter. I guess I am an old fashioned kind of guy who needs to take a deep breath, write and listen. I appreciate the 'instant' aspect of twitter, but honestly I do not care if you sell cheap jewelery, or if there is a great new product in the market.

Ah, and not to forget the Tweet lingo! What is up with all the '#' and '@' and all other 'b4' (read 'before') kind of language. English, English people! Isn't life 'Tweet'?
