Thoughts, Raves & Outright Beatings

I’ve been following the development of Twitter for the last few months.  Actually, development doesn’t even begin to describe it.  It’s, like, the new Myspace, y’know.

Anyway, I recently received two emails from twitter staying that I now had people “following” me.  Great.  I checked one of them out.  Primarily discusses marketing your blog for fun and profit.  Seems real.  No big deal.

Then, the other person…all his twitters were regenerations of emailing on losing weight, penis enlargement. et.al.

The Twitter “Help” FAQ showed me how to block that sucker.  I mean, puleeeeeze!  Can’t a girl catch a break?

In the meantime, one of the Twitterers I follow, TechCrunch, seems to have some major flaming going down among his followers (or blockers).  Apparently, he called a couple of fellow tech bloggers out, and, er, one of them didn’t take it too well (or didn’t take to well watching his friend get “asassinated”; hey it happens).  TechCrunch also posted about TwittEarth, where you can see locations of other folks twitting in “real time”.  Cool concept, but that Flash world model makes me kinda woozy looking at it everytime someone from half a world away “twitters”.

Also, that tag line’s got to go. Yeah man, I’m a “Live Twitt”. NIIIIIIIIIIICE…
