Lets keep this short and sweet

I want to get right to the point. Right to the heart of the matter. All up in the nitty gritty of the situation:

I'm OVER Twitter.

Now I say this with personal experience, and thus first hand disdain for the 'social network'.

I first 'tweaked' as just a way to be in-the-know with the latest Facebook/Myspace trilogy. Alas, it exhausted me and I felt like I had obtained another full-time job. Like a Giga-pet or Tamaguchi - don't pretend like you didn't have one. Basically, Twitter = maintenance.

And, i don't know about you...
But I don't particularly care about what Tila Tequila, or John Mayer, or Joe Blow from up the street or across the world is doing. At every moment of the day.

Not really.

Yes; chances are their life may be way different from your own. More exciting, more glamorous, more enticing. Maybe.

Because I don't know about you...
But how exciting, glamorous or enticing is it to be sitting in front of a computer waiting to be doing something so that you can update others on that something that you may - or may not - actually be doing. Worse yet...to wait for others to do something so that in turn, you will have something for yourself to do by reading about what they did?

Obviously I have thought this through.
There are undeniable pros: keeping really really in touch, trying to syncrinize your watches, or to finally learn if Lindsey Lohan is straight, bi or just plain crazy.

"I'll take just-plain-crazy for $500 Trebek."

Moral of the story: I don't have time to share, or time to care. Time is money and as usual, there's never enough of either.
