Sociological Experiment - I Tried Twitter

Bandwagon Twitterer? Ha!

So, I wanted to see what all the hooplah was about. I have officially created a twitter account. It was an experiment, so that when the twitter nerds come out of the woodwork and say that "I can't knock what I have not tried", I can respond to their criticism effectively. I didnt actually create an account for myself, I started it for a gal in my office, who I find quite entertaining. We were quickly able to attract 50+ twitter followers after accidentally spamming her gmail account, and were pretty happy with the twitter content we were putting out there. Some of it was pretty funny, other things quite witty. In general one of the best twitter pages out there, I assume.

Here is what I have learned:

-It was mildly amusing for 3-4 minutes, in the same way that inside jokes are funny.
-I get an annoying email each time someone joins my twitter page.
-I am bombarded with twitter words and applications that I can download while I am "twittering"(I haven't decided if twitter or tech nerds that create stuff for twitter are worse)
-When someone joins my twitter page, and I reciprocate, I am then forced to read their tweets
-I didnt care about one single other tweet that I came across-they weren't funny, amusing, or worth reading at all
-No one responds to anything that I tweeted about (realized in 15 minutes that we are all just tweeting to ourselves!)
-It wasnt fun
-Confirmed that it would be a great way to break up with someone

So I have come to the simple conclusion. No one is actually reading what you tweet about. Our tweets were high brow funny, and no one cared. Now if your tweets are dumb, pointless, or just about what you are doing at a point in time, which is 97% of twitter(rough estimate) then you are making the world a worse place to live.

I did have an idea. Rather than blasting out to the interweb what I am doing, I will just create a webpage where I can type things into a computer, and that comment is texted to my cel phone. No middle man, No waste of internet server bandwidth. Just me talking to my self via computer and phone. This is essentially what twitter is, No?
