"To tweet or not to tweet"

The "To tweet or not to tweet" opinion piece focuses on the absurdity of "Twitter." Whether I should "tweet" or not has never been the question for me. "Twitter" should be twitted away and never seen again.

This social networking site serves no purpose for society. What are the merits of having a network that only lets someone have 140 characters in whatever they are trying to say?
As a college student, I use “MySpace” to be an individual by setting my own background and website. I could never do this on “Twitter” where everyone’s page looks the same.

“Twitter” offers no creativity for its users and twitterers certainly cannot show their interests beyond a 140 word limit.

So what is the obsession with twitting?

Maybe it is the bored celebrities who twitter away their millions instead of using their money for the greater good, that has people in a “Twitter” frenzy.

It would be different if people used their posts to write something interesting, but more often than not, people write about useless crap like going to the bathroom.

I just hope that twittering doesn’t turn my generation into a bunch of 140 word limit twits.

  1. I couldn't agree more with your opinion here. maybe a little too much use of a play on "twitter" and "twit" etc. but well written. :)

  2. We responded to the same article! haha! I like your incorporation of the word Twitter, but it's a tad bit excessive. Other than that good! It's clever!
