Truth be told, I hate blogging. And myspace. And most social networking, actually. It seems to encourage a self-centered egotistic way of thinking. Hey, if you want to be SOCIAL, go out into the real world and contribute to it, exchange with it, be a part of it. That is social. But don't make the mistake of thinking that anyone really cares that you are at home, at your computer, typing in witty things to broadcast to a bunch of strangers who probably don't even fully understand why they should care about what you are doing. I dunno... And Twitter is like Blogging Lite. The diet version. Instead of writing 3-5 paragraphs of reasonably meaningful text a few times a week, now you can text a couple hundred characters and be done with it. Hmmmm...Doesn't sound very social to me.
I've been watching Twitter for about a year, and am testing it more and more but am still not quite seeing the practical value for paying clients. I'm skeptical. More soon -
