I’m a very small person. Tiny. So let’s say on the rare occasion I am right, I don’t mind calling attention to it.
Last year, I wrote a piece making fun of the “micro-blogging” site Twitter.
I had read that Twitter was a service for people “who don’t have time for e-mail.”
People post things on Twitter like, “Went to grocery store, bought food.”
“Ten minutes later: Got home, put food in pantry.”
I strongly implied (O.K., I said it outright) that anybody who had time for Twitter must not have much of a life or anything going on worth Twittering about.
Sure, Ashton Kutcher and Oprah raced to see who could tally one million Twitter followers/stalkers first, but just a wild guess that they do have better things to do and have their people Twitter for them.
Anyway, come to find out, the country isn’t as completely messed up as I thought. The good folks at Nielson have reported that six out of 10 people who sign up for Twitter quit after a month.
What’s the matter, Twits? Figured out that reading and writing the most mundane and tedious of life’s tasks turns out to be…mundane and tedious?
I would say, “I don’t want to say I told you so,” but I think I just did.
