This just about sums up how I feel about Twitter:
“There’s a funny paradox that runs across my mind every time I send a message to Twitter. You see, I do it as a personal benefit to myself. Like keeping a little journal of snippets of what I’m doing as I live. I figure that one day it will actually be interesting to go back and read. On the other hand, I keep my Twitters public and I have ‘friends’ on Twitter. With that in mind I always think to myself ‘people are going to read this, so I should be clever.’ Often times, that keeps me from twittering anything at all. Every twitter I make, I think it’s going to be the last; until I send another.”
