[YOUTUBE]U8SO-iNEB5I[/YOUTUBE] ! This dude is mad! For those of you who don't know, he's part of the hip-hop group 7L & Esoteric.
As thinly veiled as a subway bombing. I've been saying this since the beginning. I seriously only use Twitter to be annoying, and to tell people crap when I can't log into my messenger. That and to make fun of the people who talk about ironing their jeans. That and to try to flood the server. Because that's always fun. Also, his comment about posting "me too" brings something to mind. <AOL>Me too.</AOL>
If he did know that Twitter's being abused this way, he OBVIOUSLY wouldn't have signed up in the first place.
He can't have used the internet for very long if most of this surprises him. If you think people are talking crap then, you know, just don't follow them or block them. Don't act all sanctimonious and make a video about it. Or at least say something that hasn't been said 97373819102928392 times before. It's slightly hypocritical actually, come to think of it.
@Dean: Exactly. I like the fact that he's complaining about people saying "HEY! Look at me!" on Twitter, where you'd basically have to follow them first to even notice. While he's making a video about it, which is much more of a cry for attention. It takes much more effort, to make and upload... And how he uses the word dope as a valid reason to post on Twitter.
Ah, but it's not. It's to let people know what you're doing. When they need to know. When it's necessary to inform them. It's not necessary to inform people that you took a dump or went to the grocery store and got colby instead of mozzarella, unless there's a funny story to go along with it.
I'm a pretty avid user of Twitter, within reason, and I've never seen very many people who update with every single minute detail that no one cares about. Either I've been able to filter out those people without much trouble or their presence is somewhat exaggerated.
That crazed white man wearing both a hat and hood indoors summed up pretty much why I don't have a (Warning, this may shock some of you since you love these sites): Myspace Bebo Facebook Tagged Live Journal Chatango Twitter Last.FM DeviantART Flixster Flikr or an Xanga. Or any other social networking site you can think of.
I don't love any of those sites... I have, like, two or three of those things. He was talking poo for a good deal of that video though. That's all.
I partake in non of those things, however one of my close friends Jessie is signed up to more than 5 of those sites. I'm not saying social networking is bad, far from, I like meeting people, but things like Myspace an Facebook aren't my kind of thing. And yes, that man is bat shit crazy and was most likely high. You can usually tell how someone is going to behave from their opening line and in his case: "Whatup y'all is'Esoteric swooping in, special announcement." is probably the stupidest sentence, ever.
