I use a twitter to see people's posts about the condition of the bike a path I use everyday.
Also I like Instagram for dog pictures.

Apparently the NIH can track the spread of a disease, say swine flu, pretty accurately by tracking who bitches about being sick on Twitter.

Greetings, Rainbow Dash.

I will now sing for you a song that I hope will ease your performance anxiety.
A few months ago I was going through my FB activity feed trying to delete my old posts. FB makes it virtually impossible to delete your history. I spent hours trying to make a dent in it. You can however, delete the entire account. There is a two week waiting period to make it permanent. My original intention was to recreate the account fresh and keep up with deleting my posts from the previous day every day.

The two week period being FB free gave me some perspective on just how much time I was wasting on this bullshit. My newsfeed had turned into a cesspool of reposting "likes" of ideas that people haven't even considered for mere seconds. Any of my friends that I tried to engage with on facebook were not interested in debate or logical thought. They only want to click "like" and move on to the next 3 seconds of their life. Many people will unfriend you if you express a differing opinion to something they post. I'm just done with it.

I use twitter because sometimes at seven at night or whenever I will think about short messages I would like to send to semi-famous people and it thrills me to no end that now I can usually bother anybody my heart desires.

Go crazy. Tell Diamond Dallas Page that he needs to pipe the gently caress down with this "anybody can succeed" bullshit because some of us are born allergic to oxygen and collapse in a miserable heap moments after birth.

See what he says. The power is yours.

I never use any of it. But this one cougar at the office is always asking me if I have a facebook. So eventually I might make one of those. Probably not though.
