The world of Twitter

Xanga > Myspace > Facebook > Twitter. Since about age 12 I have never been without some sort of "networking page". While I was never on of those people who spent the majority of their time checking their page as well as other people's, I definitely jumped on the band-wagon and got whatever web page was the new 'thing'. What bugs me, is that these places (that used to be a spot for you to express yourself) have slowly become less of a blog and more of a personal tracking system - one in particular. Here is my problem with Twitter. I feel like it is basically just a society accepted, politically correct way to stalk your friends. Sometimes not even friends, just people that you've come across or met a few times. It's weird and creepy. Why would you want the internet world to know what you were doing yesterday at 5 or tomorrow at noon? "Hi world, I'm at CVS. Come find me." What boggles my mind even more is the amount of celebrities and people in the lime-light that have twitters and 'tweet' away. Aren't most of them always complaining about paparazzi and never having privacy. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't twitter seem like the wrong way to get privacy? It's becoming this whole culture, that's mentioned in TV shows, commercials and everyday exchanges. It just amazes me at how quickly this new trend was accepted and how all other social websites are curving their look to follow in the footsteps of Twitter. Maybe I'm just out of the loop, but all I know is that you will never catch me 'tweeting'. If you want to know where I am you can call.
