From a recent Sprint commercial.
233,000 people just Twittered on Twitter. 26% of you viewing this have no idea what that means.Notice what the twits are twittering. "me!" Heh. Is Sprint characterizing twits? Some people, including yours truly, think so. Not that I don't think blogs aren't self-indulgent, I just think they're more able to share ideas. Then again, I've never been on Twitter ... is the exchange of ideas as applicable to that platform? At a limit of 140 characters (IIRC) I can't believe it is.
Oh, and then there is this ... Twitter can harm a developing childs "moral compass".
"If things are happening too fast, you may not ever fully experience emotions about other people's psychological states and that would have implications for your morality," said researcher Mary Helen Immordino-Yang.We're already in a state of constant information overload, Twitter (and other social networking sites) add another layer of noise to our daily lives. Oh, and for the record, I don't Facebook or MySpace either.
