Twitter?

I’m sure I’ve heard about Twitter within the past few months, but I can’t remember from where or who from. Maybe it was someone else’s conversation that I had overheard. But, as I cruised Craig’s List for potential part-time work and a GMAT tutor (bad mistake), I came across Twitter. There was an add for a tech writer and it read, “Interested in Google, Yahoo, Twitter, Facebook, etc....”  I’m familiar with three of the four, so I responded to the add and went on Twitter.

Is anyone else on this? If you are, please explain its purpose. I am not understanding why it exists or what I should be posting. But my sister told me there are “Twitter Awards”? I have no idea.

Have you recognized the abundance of Internet sites that mimic each other, yet become more difficult to manage as time goes on. Just because the computer geeks creating these web sites can write a code to alter their background to show the MonaLisa in a sailor hat humping a dog and add bedazzled words to make them seem fun, does not mean the rest of us are linked into this world. And once you’re on one site thinking I got this I’m gonna find what I’m looking for, a pop-up comes up that says you have to sign into another site! They all link you together and all of a sudden you’re stuck in a “web”. Ha, clever computer geeks.

On another note, I’ve decided that since I often lack topics to write about,I will turn to my trusty Dictionary for inspiration. CNN is not cutting it. I apologize in advance.

Therefore, the quote of the day, thanks to the word “paradox” and Wikipedia, is Oscar Wilde’s, “I can resist anything except temptation.”

Have a great night! ;)
