A dozen by a dozen.... Blog post 3 of 12

What I really think about the writing space that twitter affords is that it is a nice way to send a message to the world but it really is futile and wasted action to tweet. Tweeting is not writing. Writing involves thought processes and readers and twitter involves neither. People tweet about what they are doing or what other people are doing. This includes fashion statements and texts found on skin. Furthermore, twitter is about having people read your messages. There are too many tweets to possibly be read and especially to be remembered. What's the point then? Twitter is like small talk in which it is common, trivial, and requires no thinking whatsoever. Andy Warhol said that in the future everyone will get fifteen minutes of fame, but no one thought that it would be at the same time as everyone else. So really no one gets fame, and that is essentially the point of twitter.
