okay, i won't lie. i have a twitter. and i use it. often.
but i have to say that i am sick of all the hype. as a journalism major, i spend no less than 12 hours a week hearing about it and discussing it in class. I GET IT! twitter is the new frontier, social networking is important, blah blah blah blah blah...
here's what i get from twitter: dinosaurtitties is taking a poop in the clarence brown theatre right now. how newsworthy.
i have yet to meet one person who uses twitter for anything other than random thoughts.
sure i can follow news organizations and celebrities but twitter isn't the only medium for doing that. when it comes to news, i have a million websites to choose from and celebrities are all over tv and magazines.
as of right now, i don't see twitter as anything more than a fad; another myspace, xanga, facebook, livejournal, etc type thing that will only be a big deal until we get bored of it.
p.s. this is my class assignment...
