The Twitter Experience

So I've been using Twitter (or "Twittering" or "tweeting" accorded to the infatuated community) for roughly a month now. I thought I'd take a break from my homework (which I've delayed for way too long) and talk for a minute about one of the most popular social websites EVER.

I decided to use Twitter back in February. Frankly, I was bored and procrastinating -- and needed something to do during long geography classes. You see, these days -- teachers could care less if you are pounding out a few text messages, or browsing the web on your phone (at least at my school) They know that if your sitting there distracting yourself, you either know everything their talking about, or you are completely screwing yourself over. Now there are a few exceptions.

Moving along, Twitter has proved to be useful for the following reasons;

a) To look busy when I come across someone in the hallway that I don't necessarily want to chat with.

b) For handy-dandy "note-to-self" reminders, usually about homework.

c)To make sarcastic, satirical, and sometimes insulting comments about the classroom or work.

Twitter also does well as a home screen. You see, I read a lot. I am off of novels at the moment because of school -- but when I'm on the computer, it's all I do! When I get home and turn on the computer, it's nice to see a quick feed of some posts made by my favourite blogs. Currently, I have the New York Times, Engadget, Uncrate, and Gadling (among others) I usually start with the most recent post, and then browse the articles in each one after that. Sounds confusing? I know, I'm a confusing person.

In regards to EHDT Studios;

I've yet to notice any sort of promotion or positive feedback from using Twitter in conjunction with my website. I chose to do it this way as to not look like a complete yuppie-hipster type person.

I chose to do it with the site as to not look like a complete yuppie-hipster type person -- now I look like an established professional! Now it may be that I receive no feedback simply because nobody reads my blog...
But why would I think that...

Wait, my dad reads my blog, he said something about Twitter.

Thanks man!

So in reality, Twitter is kind of useless to me. That is unless someone can justify actually needing to do the things I listed above. Please, someone justify them -- I'm begging you! However, I think I'll continue to use it. I'm in no way addicted. In fact, I think it's repulsing me. Yet, I feel that one day, someone might just take a look back through my updates and get a kick out of the shit I say -- and that's alright.

So if you're a prospective Twitter user -- do it. I'm sure you'll have much more fun than I will. Twitter is free, and sometimes private.
If you do get an account, follow me (sounds stalker-ish) -- and maybe we'll be friends.*
