Pineda Thu, 05 Feb 2009 03:33:14 +0000 http://www.thematrixfiles.net/?p=456#comment-808 Thanks for your awesome comment and links. At first, I didn't get Twitter but I was determined to give it a shot. Then it started to click. I agree that there is a lot of tedium on Twitter, but there are also gems. I have read some thoughtful tweets, found out about great sites, and actually keep up with quite a few friends through their tweets and status updates on Facebook. FriendFeed is a shock to my system; there is too much information and right now, it's TMI. Perhaps I haven't figured out how to filter properly. I can also see how these sites can be a total time suck. I tweet throughout the day but it takes seconds. I cruise Twitter and FB early in the morning and at night when I have more time. I had a meeting with a client the other day who wonders if he can retire before he's required to start tweeting. Thanks for your awesome comment and links.

I recently read comforting words that validated my difficulty in relating to people who spend more and more time communicating digitally/electronically. Jeanne McManus, in The Washington Post on Tuesday, in "The Tedium is the Message". She begins, "Stop me. Please. If I can't stand reading about the banalities of my own daily life, why would anyone else want to? And yet the air is filled with blogging, social-network chitchat and, even worse, Twittering…." http://tinyurl.com/McManus2-03 Kathleen Parker, in The Washington Post, 12/3/08, in "Rise of the Twitterati". An excerpt... " For those who still commune by glance and gesture, "to twitter" roughly means to express an abbreviated thought or observation in real time to a live, self-selecting audience of brain voyeurs. People who want to know your every cogitation and sign up for the privilege." http://tinyurl.com/Parker12-08 Notice, however, I am not totally clueless. I discovered and now use tinyurl.com to convert those enormous URLs into brief, customized links. My little contribution to your continuing work in On-Line Advanced Studies!
