Gone to the Dogs

Twitter is going to the dogs, people, and since the path it has to travel to get there is not that long, it will be there in no time. Whenever I try to access my Twitter feed these days, I get a mishmash of things I never wanted to follow or expressed any interest in and I have to sift through them to get access to people I actually do want to read. This gets so boring that I barely go on Twitter any more.

Plus, I’m annoyed by endless notifications about some boring starlet posting some photo I totally need to see even though I couldn’t give a crap about the starlet or her photo.

That’s why I never use Twitter. I think that more traditional things, such as E-mail, Skype, to say nothing of the telephone, are much more reliable. And Clarissa’s blog, of course!

I don’t like the very idea of so limited amount of text. As a whole, I think of a flock of crows cawing to each other in a tree, or a flock of monkeys. It is the same: “Hi! I’m here! I am Jake! Who are you! What are you up to? I am bigger and stronger than you!” Looking at the books of Konrad Lorenz, you recognize a lot of human behavior in the geese and jackdaws.

I’ve got the impression that “doggone” is a very southern, rural expression?

Twitter has only just gone to the dogs? I thought it had gone there quite early on, given all the nastiness you hear eminating from it in the news, and the lack of any real privacy, plus the fact that there is only so much you can possibly fit into 140 characters.

  yes, it as never a huge favorite of mine but it’s growing entirely unusable. The interface is growing ever more cluttered and obnoxious.
