So I joined
Twitter to see what all the fuss is about and have the feeling my virtual existence is getting out of hand. Livejournal, blogger, myspace, facebook, twitter, my 432 unread RSS feed items, the sixty-one... and I still don't write anything I feel is of value.
It's really fucking overwhelming at times. But kind of necessary as I live quite far from most of my friends and spend almost all of my time on the computer anyway. To stave off the boredom and loneliness?
Back to Twitter. It's like having a direct line into the brains of people that you don't really care about. Waking up to
Courtney Love,
Lily Allen,
the fake Billy Corgan and Kevin Smith? It's like bingeing on the New CelebReality VH1.
I'm also being followed by a couple ad-spammer people. Well, they can enjoy all the Depeche Mode lyrics they want.
