And some other reasons twitter can suck so hard. (and yes, I still use it occasionally, it has some use).

Anywho, on to the stupidity:

Jogger injured after using Twitter as he ran

“Some dude tweets (and Facebooks) his vacation plans then heads out of town. While he’s gone, someone breaks into his house and steals his computer. Surprise! This guy a) has too many non-friends on Facebook and b) is real fast and loose with his home address. Reminds me of when I was in high school and was too cool to lock my car, even though everyone could hear my boomin’ Kenwood speaker system. Guess what—it got stolen! Use your head, don’t beg people to steal your shit.” gizmodo.com

And last but not least, one of the least shocking revelations of all time, right up there with “Earlier this year an insurance company revealed the dangers of twittering whilst driving.” from the running article.
10% Of Twitter Users Account For 90% Of Twitter Activity
Which seems to be 100% in line with what happens when I open my account. This also applies to facebook, though facebook is certainly worse what with the quizzes and surveys that clog my newsfeed. But I digress. About 10% of the people I know on there have posted hundreds of things about their lunch, sleeping, going for a run, walking down the stairs, going to the bathroom, etc etc while most people have only posted a couple of meaningful things I’m actually interested in that are downed out but all the posts I wish I hadn’t wasted the brain power reading.
