My Twitter page, yesterday
I twitter. So does everyone else. I bet your granny has started twittering, even. Even though I have posted about 400 tweets, I still have no clear idea why.
Reading posts, I can just about understand – it’s good to know when there’s something new on The Onion site, some of the comedians post funny, or link to something amusing. Why would I tweet, though? I’m not that funny. Or interesting. I have nothing to sell. Yet I have followers, none of them are people I know in ‘real life’.
People continually prophesy that Twitter is the future, and there are millions to be made, but it’s hard to see how. You can advertise on it – but it’s very easy to opt out of it, easier to ignore.
Is everyone on there just waiting for the fun to start? What is the Emperor wearing, exactly?
What? Why Bother?
