Twitter Users Explain Their Addictions with: Why I Tweet
Trending topics on Twitter today include #WhyITweet, #creditcrunch TV, #qanda,#netprofit and Danny Gokey.
I was amused to read some of the reasons listed for WhyITweet. Here are some of my favorite lines from the thread:
BC__ Because I really wanna blog but can never come up with more than a sentence or two #WhyITweet
MrVirgo9784 #WhyITweet Cus the little blue birdie inside my head told me to
Unsonnet #whyitweet Because I find my life far too interesting to not force information about it on other people.
notsotrue #WhyITweet because the judge said I can't go within a 100 yards of certain people :)
Usha1608 #WhyITweet cause Facebook is f-ing corny now
Usha wasn't the only users griping about Facebook. I was suprised to see several others had also grown weary of the social networking leader. I also noticed one Tweet that put Twitter's use in a new light.
120789#WhyITweet To remember. I guess it's also a lasting archive of me, who I am and what not. Interesting.
The amount of self-proclaimed Twitter addicts doesn't surprise me after our lent survey revealed 66% couldn't give up their favorite social network. If Twitter ultimately proves to be nothing more than a tech trend that vanishes after a few years, I wonder how many users will wish they had chronicled their life the old fashion way- a journal.
