Twitter Usage

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.

The internet lets me buy just what I need when I remember I need it and get on with my life. Dawn. And that’s the retailers’ worst nightmare: not that internet shopping will undercut their prices, but that it will reduce unnecessary impulse buys. (via marco)

The Great Apathetic Revolution

The Great Apathetic Revolution marco: Starts by illustrating how DRM penalizes only legitimate customers: The marketing people babble on about how Digital Rights Management “enhances” your “enjoyment” of a product. But what copy control really does is make ripped-off stuff better than the legal version. Then transitions to a call to action, by apathy toward […]
