The Twitter Epidemic: Hey! Follow Me…
“Yooooo what’s good!? Follow me I’m on twitter now! I sent you a request what’s wrong? Why you aint follow back!? Follow Me! Follow Me! Follow Me!” –Anonymous Tweople
What the hell happened? How the hell did we get here? If myspace™ announced ignorance twitter™ defined it. All day, everyday, all night, every night we read each other’s thoughts, or what some think is a thought as we all tweet our life away. Twitter isn’t for everyone sadly anyone with a email address can sign up. The idea of what twitter is or what it can be has been long gone dead. We all pretend to understand what the network is truly meant for only turning it into a personal diary almost filled with too much information & things someone should never tweet.
People who use twitter for the wrong thingsusually lead to them getting the wrong results, which leads them to hate everything about it. We announce our twitter “deletion” like it’s an event, yell “I’m Back!” when we realize it was stupid to leave and complain everyday about being on twitter while on twitter. A lot of us ask for a follow yet many are saying nothing worthy of one. To many of us, twitter is merely a means to pass the time, to others it’s a way to express their words/views & have their voice be heard, to a select few its a way to expand business & truly network but to most twitter it’s a means to increase populatirity through ignorance & seemingly harmless shit talking.
Subconsciously we all have judged our friends and/or aquitances from their tweets. We’ve all seen friendships blossom, play out & end, on & because of twitter. It truly is difficult to follow a friend & see them tweet things you don’t agree with without feeling a way, thus, many of us have distance ourself from a close friend because of it.
So the next time someone ask you “follow me” ask them where are they leading you to, because twitter has made it far to easy to become a follower!
