I'm no stranger to sharing my lovely text messages (remember my fart conversation with my ex-roommate? Or, the one I had with Noel @ Miss Couturable?). Well, I feel the need to share another conversation. One that sheds the light on what I think about Twitter.
AD: Do you use Twitter?
Secretista: No. I refuse to!
AD: Hahah why?
Secretista: I just don't need another reason to be addicted to the Internet.
It's true. I DON'T need another reason to be addicted to the Internet. I love this Web 2.0 generation, but I think certain things need limits (**hits private on Facebook**). It kind of scares me that through Twitter, people can know what you are doing ... all the time, but with your discretion of course. And sure this blog is bringing you all into my life, but even this has certain limits. I also don't find the amusement in telling people that "Secretista is watching ANTM" at the moment. That's what Facebook statuses are for. And so Twitter you ask, "What are you doing?" Well, I'm not telling!

lol I couldn't agree more! I can't believe such an utterly useless and stalkerish application has become so big!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment on my blog btw!
I'm on twitter, but only so people can follow my blog on it. I know what you mean about not needing another reason, a few months ago I closed a bunch of random accounts i had I find it strange that I can be traced anywhere!
ReplyDeleteAs for the polaroids, there from wireimages.com, but you have to have a paid account.
Fair enough. I do get followed by some major retailers and stuff. It all depends what you put in it. Some bloggers just list their new posts. I do use it with my friends just doing some chitchats which can be ADDICTIVE~ :)
ReplyDeletethe truth is that all those twitter-people have too much time and they are also a bit attention-whoring :-)
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of Twitter. Does that make me un-cool or cool? ha ha
ReplyDeleteHi secretista-oh I so agree! I'm not on facebook or twitter for those reasons alone!
ReplyDeleteI think you're right. The internet has made us all into voyeurs, and on the blog you can at least decide what you let others know. I'm not on Facebook either, because I have my friends in real life and I don't need a "friend invite" as a confirmation that they are my friends. A blog is okay, but I won't let others stalk me either. You go girl! By the way, I'm adding you to my new blogroll (I had deleted it temporarily).
ReplyDeleteOhyes, I am not using them too. It's like, there are enough reasons why I am so addicted to be online already.
ReplyDeletei agree i don't need another reason to spend hours and hours on the internet instead of doing my homework and studying! haha
ReplyDeleteI am not in Facebook, never heard of twitter and am not going to go into any of those. I understand what you are talking about.

I love Twitter deary! But its totally like Facebook statuses. Fortunately for me, I sort of hate Facebook, and never update my status so I don't have to fear the overlap!
ReplyDeleteI hate Facebook so Twitter is perfect me - love and use it everyday!
