We The Tweeple
Last night while experiencing my usual A.D.D fit of focusing my attention on 80 things at once, I journeyed into deep thought about the coolness of Twitter. I signed up for Twitter last year just to see what the fuss was all about after running through articles here and there on the web, specifically those that recommended it for Internet marketing use. At first I was lost, no followers what-so-ever, none of my friends knew about it, and the most that intrigued me at the time was following MC Hammer. Afterwards though, I didn’t get it, I didn’t care, it was just another one of those “social networking sites” that you had to remember a password and username for, so ultimately I dropped it for that time being.
Fast forward roughly 8 months and now Twitter is the dopest thing in the world. My friends are now all using it, I constantly have Twitterberry open on my Blackberry Storm, my parents discuss it among themselves during casual conversation and Ashton Kutcher is beating out CNN with a million plus followers to raise awareness regarding malaria. For christ sakes, even people are up in arms about getting to watch Oprah do her first “Tweet” live on her daily talk show! All in all it’s fantastic that Twitter came about because it connects everyone rich, middle class, even poor together with one common deal, the ability to want to communicate with each other. It takes away that whole mysteriousness of your favorite celebrity or whoever you feel is “important”, by glimpsing into their everyday habits (depending on how much they update), and reminding everyone after the day is over we’re all human and no matter how big or small, we all eat, sleep, shit and now to that list you can add Tweet. Good stuff!! By the way if you read this and want to follow me i’m @theapollokid
