I've been boycotting Twitter for a while now. I refuse to drown myself further in the Internet world. All of us over overly consumed and reliable on this form of technology. Am I right? Here I am, joining one application after the next. So when there was so much buzz going on with Twitter everywhere, I decided I would stop at that and not go through with it.
Strangely this morning I clicked on a link that took me to some one's Twitter page. It asked me to log in. I wanted to double check that I did not blindly join these lame-o club so I logged in. Ummm...then....I saw my account! WTF? When did I sign up?! LOL! Was I sleep-browsing the web? I swear I don't' remember. So I go to my friend to vent away:
share-bare: ok this is funny....remember how i refused to join twitter?
rolsbee: ok
share-bare: ummm, why do i have an acct? LMAO
rolsbee: u told me already. cuz u didn't want anyone to take ur name
share-bare: oooooooooooh!thx!
rolsbee: u just remembered? u had one
share-bare: short term memory strikes again!!! dun dun DUN!
OK, well maybe that's the case but I really have this theory that the Internet is slowly ruining my memory trail. It's destructing the neurons of my brain which in turn is making me dumb and frequently forgetful. How else would the Internet world get business from me? Isn't that what googling is all about. Maybe aliens are really slowly taking over the entire universe. Yup - that must be it. Their secret weapon is the Internet. I'm telling you people. Be careful! I'm a victim and you're NEXT! I swear, one day we all will become the Truman Show (<-- A WHOLE OTHER STORY. Let's not talk about my concerns with that right now)! [getting goose bumps].
In the meantime, I'll keep my Twitter account active because I do not want anyone to take my user name! I'll stick to being a Blogger frog. I will just not utilize Twitter. I'll be the loner tweety bird of Twitter. I will not follow nor will have anyone follow me nor chirp/tweet (or whatever you wanna call it). I want to be recognized as the only Twitter member that does not tweet. How's that? Am I still considered a boy cotter of Twitter? =/

TRAITOR! You can't boycott Twitter and then have an account! Whether you use it or don't...they got you! The point of NOT HAVING A TWITTER ACCOUNT IS SO YOU DON'T GO ON...now you can log on and check others (who are not private). You should be ashamed...you undercover-tweeter!! well not even undercover anymore...YOU EVEN PUT UR ACCOUNT ON BLAST! now people know where to find you.....

You CAN boycott Twitter and have an acoount. The point is not putting anything on the account, so no one knows what you're doing or where you are.
ReplyDeleteSharon, I understand your boycott and I'm with ya. Blogging and facebook is enough for me.
