Twitter Mania!
So I’ve recently joined Twitter and I think I might become addicted to this thing. People often wonder what’s so great about it seeing as how on Facebook you can post pictures and do all kinds of funky stuff. I think the thing that keeps people flocking (pun intended) to Twitter is the real time action that you see on there…not to mention the celebrity mania. “Stars” like Mallika Sherawat from Bollywood, Self proclaimed Armenian Princess = Kim Kardashian and influential people such as Anderson Cooper and Larry King all have Twitter accounts that they are constantly updating.
It’s super interesting to see what’s going on in their lives (stalker world that we live in) and of course it gives a little thrill when you get mentioned (as you see above, Mallika Sherawat responded with an “@queensharin” to a little query of mine). It looks like the aim is to have as many followers as you can because of course, everyone wants to be their own mini celebrity.
Both Facebook and Twitter reek of a culture that is voyeuristic and self obsessed. I don’t see sites like these becoming obsolete anytime soon. Hey, if you can’t beat ‘em, join them! ;)
