Twatter


So there's me - eager to find out about this exciting new buzz-word that's recently been added to the 'social networking' agenda. These days, if the media are talking about social networking, they are likely to mention Facebook. They are also likely to mention two others. Myspace (which seems to be mentioned less and less. Is this the end for My space? or has it carved its own niche for things such as music, and err.. music. Myspace. The musicians portal. Great maybe, but if you're not a musician, would you go there??? I guess if you are looking out for a particular band, you might. But what if they are Facebook too? Are you more likely to go there??? Probably. So this is the end of Myspace. And this is also the longest piece ever to be written in brackets (or crucifixes or whatever they call them in America). Now I 'm in real trouble. See I opened another set of parenthesises inside another set - and that's always confusing. What do i do now??? (create another set maybe, if that's an option).... ))))).

Enough already. Twitter. As curiosity got the better of me (at the same time as the feeling of not wanting to sign up) I pecked my way over to YouTube (pecked being the style of typing used) and watched the demo.

Well, as if Facebook wasn't enough, i can now have access to a new world of even more feeble, mediocre and time wasting comments. My mate has missed the bus? I guess there are certain benefits to be had by not having too many friends.
