The Space that Twitter Affords (3/12)

What I really think about the writing space that twitter affords is that it is convenient. To some it may seem inconvenient as they may think they need more space to express their full thought. Twitter is a place for short, often witty, thoughts and often times small descriptions of one's whereabouts or current status. I do not think that twitter ever had the intention of being used as someone's journal. If ever someone should find that he or she needs more space while using twitter, he or she should probably start to think about writing those select thoughts elsewhere. Of course, I am biased. I have never been much of a twitter-er and for the longest time (still actually) I have not been able to figure out what is necessary for what form of status update. What content is actually necessary for twitter that cannot be put on one's facebook page. For that matter even, I am not really much of a facebook status updater either. I guess I do not understand the purpose of twitter even if it is just to let people know what is on your mind or where you are. These days, everyone feels so entitled to everyone else's business and it is most likely due to social networks such as twitter and facebook. Twitter was created so that people could jot down a quick thought before it left their mind, or tell about their whereabouts before leaving to go to the next place, or telling what they're doing before moving on to the next thing. That is all it should really ever be used for. To partake in anything deeper and therefore requiring more space, finding a new area to write these thoughts would be ideal.
