Since the inception of Twitter I've thought it was a stupid idea. I remember hearing about it like this: "It's like Facebook, except only status updates. Like people will update what they're doing ALL day. 'I'm eating breakfast.' 'I'm in the shower.' 'I'm going to work.' Who cares about all the insignificant crap you do all day?"
I wholeheartedly agreed, and decided it was the dumbest thing I'd ever heard of. I was always a FB reject anyway; I NEVER checked my FB until I got a smart phone and the FB app was freakin awesome and effortless. At this point I noticed a Twitter app and thought "Meh, I've gone this far, F' Twitter."
Now recently I've noticed pretty much everyone I know has one. I wasn't too worried about it. In a recent conversation at work (I can't talk about certain work aspects on social media; we had to sign something. I'll literally be fired. They were very vague. I think I'm in the clear with the stuff I talk about, but just to be safe, from here on out I work at Unidentified Retail Store, or URS, whenever I feel the need to bitch about stupid customers) some coworkers brought up Twitter. My friend says, "I think I'm the only person on earth without one," to which I chimed in a hearty "Me too!"
This spawned the "This is why I like it" conversation, and I think the winning point was: When you follow comedians they post hilarious tweets. Now I'm thinking, "Score, I totally want to hear Dane Cook and the like be funny all day long...."
And thus, I made an account tonight, I'm already following 25 people/things and have 3 followers, of which I only know 1 of them personally. Yup, I just became Twitter's bitch.
PS If you happen to know where I work don't out me on here so that I can post awesome customer fail moments and not be fired. Thank you =D
(totally outs you, gets you fired, then finds a way to get hired on your place so she can stock up on awesome shit with a super cool employee discount). WIN!
