I think Titter is a really sad way for people (who wake up at 40 realizing they have no friends or family) to chase away their loneliness. They've mistakenly thought their careers would forever bring them happiness and are even further proud and deranged in assuming that random people care to know what they're doing or thinking at any given time. Tweets can't make up for the family one fails to nurture and create along the way. Are we going to be so busy Twittering, Facebooking, Blogging, and Texting about things and to people who are no longer part of our lives or never were? Are we spending more time doing this than working on our actual relationships? Will we never be able to move on from past acquaintances, friendships, and relationships to create new ones? We need to spend our time and energy on things that matter and things of worth. Moderation in all things right? That should apply to electronic communication as well.

haha wow.. we actually were joking about this in guitar today.. what a weird site.. our world is ridiculous
Funny that you should blog about this today because, as I'm behind in all things computer related, I just discovered twitter. I really don't get it, I mean who has time to keep up with all these things? Love this post, and I completely agree with you. I think internet obsession is the new socially acceptable addiction.
Amen! I have never looked at twitter but I agree that blogs and facebook are way too time consuming. I've tried in the last few months to spend much less time on the computer. Our time is much better spent nurturing our most precious relationships. By the way, where did the motivation for this post come from?
As you blog...
Twitter is pretty gay. Especially when baseball, basketball, or football is on TV.
I'll do my part this summer and hang out with you instead of twittering and facebooking. How's that?
Very insightful, Carly. I agree 100%. You are awesome!
You are GENIUS! enough said!
here, here! I am getting SO close to closing my facebook account because I don't like it anymore! Let alone get started on Twitter...no thanks! I have a life and hobbies :)
