I use Facebook for the same thing. Not really to communicate with people, just to try to lure them into reading some piece of drivel I've written. <br /><br />I found this very interesting, and also terrifying. Mobile communication, and constant status updates has always felt a little too connected for me. I prefer a little bit of privacy.Kaitlyn Bolyardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05435888739264095847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2388717540545987605.post-56558023752686470272010-02-02T11:14:08.598+00:002010-02-02T11:14:08.598+00:00SISYDMHI

You can't twit-babble a declaration of War ,, ask Tony !<br />I was impressed by the guy in the loo though !!<br /><br />Now as for Shakespeare .,., he might actually have been improved by shortening ?<br />He took up way too much time in Eng. Lit. !<br /><br />So is Twitter all bad you ask ?<br />Yeah it probably is ! Makes kids lazy and is further dumbing down the human race. <br />It's worrying the number of places of education using this quick communication system !<br />Can you imagine a world where we all talk that way too !!?? Arghhhhhhhhh <br />However on the up side .,., blogging has introduced, for budding authors like us ,, the writing of a Blook ! <br /><br />Now how are you on TextSpeak Al ? <br />RURdy2GtWivTTxt ?<br />Or are you asking, WotsGoinOn ?<br />You could ask FADATAPATMWCGOTAC (Fancy a drink & then a Pizza & then maybe we can go on to a club ? )<br />Or easier understood perhaps LtsGt2gthrFrPzzNdPnt ?<br />Then there's the famous !

I love words and descriptions and not to put too fine a point on it, the trivial and banal have no allure for me . . . Still, Twitter sounds like the curates' egg, good in parts.

But then I have a bit of a reputation for going on too long and 140 symbols is simply NOT ENOUGH!

I don't care to!<br />Like you, I am amazed at what people can possibly find to report or broadcast in endless minute detail. Is it being part of a fad, the "in" technology? Is it about having something to say and someone to say it to? <br />I really appreiciate e-mail and cell phones, I even have a Face Book account to keep up with family and friends at a distance---although I forget to check it for weeks on end. Most of it seems so trivial--as you say--do we really need to know who just drove by, who stopped where for coffee?<br />The use of language is such a fine art in my mind--taking time to ponder the right word to express a thought, to incorporate humor, wit, to use the distinctive "voice" which you mentioned in an earlier post. <br />Dare I state that most of what passes as communication now is shallow, unmemorable, slef-important babble? {I said it anyway, didn't I!]Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2388717540545987605.post-13227967610216314102010-01-30T21:07:43.194+00:002010-01-30T21:07:43.194+00:00Love tweets tied up with ribbon.

There is...You are right on the mark again Alistair. There is something innately satisfying to holding a communication in your hands and being able to look at it as often as you like. I text my children while they are away and when I am lucky, they text me back. I treasure the moments, but there is no way to save them. Will anyone ever find a bundle of old love tweets tied up with ribbon? The young are missing out and they don’t even know it.<br />KatKat_RNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14008977319279272365noreply@blogger.com
