Whitechapel - People Following you on Twitter... 2013-05-18T14:46:57-07:00 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/ Lussumo Vanilla & Feed Publisher People Following you on Twitter... http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=239&Focus=6486#Comment_6486 2007-12-08T23:35:43-08:00 2013-05-18T14:46:57-07:00 wingnut2600 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=1190 I have been using Twitter for the past few months as an alternative journaling tool. It is perfect for random thoughts, snapshots of what you are doing at the time and lacks major stress due to the ...
I am following two people: one of which is a friend and the other is someone who added me out of the live "Public Updates" and we just happen to share interests. I enjoy being able to see what these people are doing somewhat, but it is far more of a "life snapshot" exercise to exorcise my urge to blog at length about my day-to-day life, relegating it instead to snippets in my blog's sidebar.

Recently, more people have begun to follow me for no reason, and I wonder if this is a trend of spam Tweeters soliciting reciprocal tweet subscriptions or if I am just missing the whole point of the social aspect of this app.

In a certain sort of way, I don't follow more people due to the fact that it is like public voyeurism... what is the fun in that? If I could follow people without being seen, that would be more interesting.

Also, it seems impersonal to just add somebody; for example, if I were to add Warren... he would just say, "who the fuck is this" and it becomes a single-sided conversation; more similar to listening.

I am not soliciting for people to follow me at my Twitter URL, I am soliciting the feedback of this community to their opinions of Twitter, its usefulness and how they use the social aspects of the service. I also wonder how many people just miss the point entirely.

I'm sure the vast majority of random followers that don't come after any particular Tweet of mine, are just looking for a reciprocated follow.

I'm not ashamed of "listening" on the Tweets of people I admire. I get Warren's Tweets, and Fred Gallagher's, and Wil Wheaton's. I read their work, and to me, this is just more writing of theirs for me to read. Twitter is intrinsically exhibitionist, so I am not going to feel bad about turning my head and looking!]]> People Following you on Twitter... http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=239&Focus=6525#Comment_6525 2007-12-09T08:08:46-08:00 2013-05-18T14:46:57-07:00 Joe Paoli http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=1116 I'm pretty curmudgeonly when it comes to Twitter.

The answer for you may be:

1) Nothing

2) Microblogging your life

3) The thoughts, dreams and hopes of everyone you know

It also may be variations thereof. You have to try it as a writer, follower and inter-actor to understand it, and, even then, you still might not see the full potential or it may just not be for you...

Honestly, I find it easier to blog on Twitter, although less substantive than a full blog.

I don't really see Twitter as a method to get a hold of people (it can of course, but its a secondary feature for me). I see it as a tool for eliminating distance.

You talk at your friends (or the public forum) as a group, and they talk at you. You can also follow people who are not your friends (I very much doubt Barack Obama's Twitter staffer cares what I have to say) if you desire.
On some level Twitter is getting all those people in the room with you, so they can say what is on their mind - what they are thinking or doing. Only, well, its a really big room that is everywhere at once. Some will want to make plans, others will talk about their day, and others will share random thoughts. That is whats so appealing about it, its a fairly intimate act of social connection across many miles with many different people.

If you look up thread, Ariana hit the many uses for it, but for me its about carrying your community with you.

I think these 'same people' might need to get some fresh air and a sense of humour.

I've only had one person get annoyed at me for not replying to them personally via Twitter. I didn't start grinding an axe at them, but I'll admit it hadn't occurred to me I was using Twitter 'incorrectly' and thought it was a rather presumptuous thing to say (especially since it isn't their website, and they don't have to subscribe to my feed if they don't like it).

Maybe the lesson here is that social networking tools are for people who want to be social?

(CNN) -- James Karl Buck helped free himself from an Egyptian jail with a one-word blog post from his cell phone.

Buck, a graduate student from the University of California-Berkeley, was in Mahalla, Egypt, covering an anti-government protest when he and his translator Mohammed Maree were arrested April 10.

On his way to the police station, Buck took out his cell phone and sent a message to his friends and contacts using the micro-blogging site Twitter.

The message only had one word. "Arrested."

It was plainly obvious, I think, but I wonder, would Twitter be better if we all dialed up our answers to make up for the question?

My feeling is that, no, it wouldn't be better. The mundane question is part of the point. How you riff on the 140 spaces and the audience you're given is the other half of the point. No matter what you put in that box, you're still sort of answering that question.
