Gaia has fallen... Fallen victim to the Facebook Monster and Twitterbeast! gonk
I remember that several years ago, EVERYONE had either a MySpace or Xanga site. I have to admit, I got caught up in the MySpace craze, myself. Now, the new craze is Facebook and Twitter. But the thing is, no one has either a Facebook or Twitter. They always come together as a package deal. I have to ask myself, "why?"
I really have no opinion on Facebook, but I really don't see the intelligence behind Twitter. They call it a micro-blogging social networking site. I call it a bad joke. I mean, seriously. Who is so busy that they can't blog using a real social network? Surely even the most hard-pressed businessman/woman can make the time to spill their thoughts into a journal without a character limit. Speaking of which, in all honesty, how on Earth can anyone be expected to express themselves using a 140-character limit? YouTube's comment box allows a greater character limit than Twitter. My cell phone allows a greater character limit than Twitter! As I read in another article, Twitter is the CB Radio of the New Millennium.
