As you all know, I've been a Twitter fan for some time, but I'm disheartened a bit by the personal "look at me! look at me" posts - from "I'm getting a cup of coffee" (who the bleep cares) to "My toe ring is way too small" (once again, who cares). There's a lot of meaty Twitter conversations, but there's more garbage than not these days.
I'd like to find out how you use Twitter and what you like about it. I'm curious as to what else I'm missing and would be happy to share any results if you ask (nicely).
I used to be put off by those -- as is everyone else who comes to twitter for the first time.
Later, I started to see them as a really big laugh.
And when you get to know these people it's funny but also an insight into their lives.
I'm not saying that every "I'm at Avenue Rd and Bloor" is terrific. But I'm not as irritated by it as I used to. Proof?
Here's one of my favourite posts. It's by @richrecruiter:
"At Meat Stop in Willingboro, looking at meat."
