If you don’t have anything to say, put it on Twitter

Twitter is a free social networking website were you can write and read messages known as “tweets”, those small messages have the maximum of 140 characters. Twitter is founded by a company named “Obvious Corp” in October 2006 in San Francisco.

Nowadays Twitter is one of the most popular social networking website worldwide, even famous persons and politics are joining this hype. I think this is ridiculous and a waste of your time. First of all I am not interesting in what people are doing every single minute of the day. Secondly you have 140 characters each message that is 2 sentences, so you communicate one thought a time. You know who else communicate one thought a time; 3 year old children, would you like to be compared with a 3 year old kid? Do something useful with your time instead of writing messages and  following other peoples life. For example last year when news channel CNN and actor Ashton Kutcher started a competition on Twitter: “Who has the first million followers on Twitter.” I really don’t understand why those people want to have one million followers. Ashton Kutcher is already famous and CNN is a news channel so I don’t see the point of this competition. This counts for everybody who are using Twitter, why should you want to share everything you do with the rest of the world. People are always complaining that nowadays everything is online and that you can’t hide anything anymore for the world. It is just your own fault if you want to have a private life don’t use Twitter or other public social websites.  

 I think Twitter is just a hype and in a couple of years they will invent a new social networking website, which will be again a hype and everybody will forget  Twitter. Till that time I refuse to register myself on Twitter and I will try to convince other people about my statement: ”If you don’t have anything to say, put it on Twitter” and “If you do have anything to say, don’t put it on Twitter.”
