2 Responses to "people in the netherlands love the anti twitter, I think"It's basically saying: out of the 63 percent of Dutch who know of Twitter, only about 3 percent uses it. But among the ones that do, there can be such a thing as tweeting too hard. As a result, some people who are sick of Twitter, turn to anti-twitter websites.
After all this, some twitter-phenomena are being mocked (purplepants), but we're also informed of Historical Tweets (which is sorta funny).
Thanks by the way for being anti-twitter and blogging about it. I am a journalist and was confronted today with this new media monkey who got on my ass for not using twitter, for it would 'stand in the way of my professional career as a writer'. I think you know how I responded, since we share the same opinion: people with REAL LIVES and REAL STORIES are not on twitter every darn second (and these people have NO limits, they are addicted to their tweets and notice NOT what happens around them). Using technological ways to 'improve' your social networking does have its advantages, it's just so bloody sad how people use them as replacements for actual contact, field work and true interaction.

Oh my gosh. I cant believe someone that is smart has read my blog. Totally vindicated! Thanks for the response Olga! Based on my distorted american stereotype of the name Olga, you are either a six foot, blonde, beer vixen or 92 years old. Either way...I'm intrigued.
