Twitter is for the birds!

Yes! You heard right.........I can't see the point of sending out 'tweets' to god knows who. And you are restricted on how long the 'tweet' can be, which is only about 3 lines.........I prefer a blog because at least you can write something of a reasonable length. Anway back to Twitter......I decided to deactivate my Twitter account for the above reasons. I was getting strange people following my 'tweets' which was another reason I deactivated the account..........one guy after I blocked him, tried to "follow" by using other accounts. Just because you have the same surname as me, doesn't mean that I know you. I think it's the same guy that tried to connect with me on Facebook and in the process "stole" one of my family photos for his website. He didn't even have the courtesy to ask me! So what is Twitter really all about? The Ellen Show says "follow us on Twitter"............follow what exactly? Highlights of the next show? What Ellen is having for dinner? You only have 140 characters you can use, by the time you reach the point of your 'tweet' you've run out of characters. It has been said before that you "shouldn't knock it, until you've tried it", well I've tried it and really it seems rather a pointless excercise to me. I borrowed the cartoon from a website as it shows my argument........."Does anybody read my Tweets?"
