Continuing on its confused path to world domination, twitter is constantly showing up in my news. Yes facebook newsfeed as well but I mean regular news, which is getting overwhelming. Does twitter even know what it is going to do yet? Whatever, I previously didn’t mind it, and used it from time to time but I am now deciding if I maybe I hate it. Either way, here is my latest discovery of a person of interest (to me at least) on there, with more ticket give aways for people doubting it was actually him “tweeting” (ugh excuse me I just threw up in my mouth a little bit):

Part of me doesn’t even want to read these athlete’s posts because of the grammar and spelling (akin to that of a 16 year old female, lol!) but at the same time, like a car wreck, I can’t look away.

Rob Brawders to me, Dave
Ahh, twitter and basketball… Both of those are on my “to don’t” list right near “get cancer” and “buy a japanese car.”

Andy’s feelings:
Yeah, twitter is just too much. I signed up for twitter out of curiosity, but then realized what it was and never looked back.
Sidenote: Did you know many athletes and celebrities on twitter actually employ ghost writers to create their entries? It’s absolutely true. Clearly, Paul Pierce does not, but Shaq and Britney Spears, for example, have people that write their entries for them. Part of me actually prefers it that way, as it’s employment for a writer and thus more likely to be grammatically correct. But generally, I think it’s unequivocal proof that twitter has jumped the shark and officially become the most retarded technology imaginable.

Rob, to Andy:
Shaq did the ticket giveaway as well- and for Pierce he could still have a ghost writer, that doesn’t mean he can’t give away tickets and tell the writer to post about it (or even maybe the other way around, if the writer suggests it for proof).

that’s nuts about the paul pierce thing; is that really legit? i do agree with you that it’s getting kinda nuts. twitter as a social, tell-you-what-i’m-doing-every-second-of-my-day tool can be obnoxious and i’d rather stick to AIM and away messages to learn what friends are up to. i find twitter EXTREMELY beneficial for work-related purposes: networking, resources, helpful links, answering questions, etc. the amounts information is endless (and pretty overwhelming), but peers in your field are the best resources, i think!
