No Twits for Dave
Ok, I admit I’m a holdout and still haven’t embraced Twitter. In fact, I have yet to Tweet at all. I just don’t see the value in it. I know it has become indispensable and addictive to so many people, so there must be something to it. But, I confess, I am one of those people who still washes dishes by hand instead of using a dishwasher. Now, I have tried using a dishwasher, and my contention is that by the time you’ve loaded your dishwasher, my dishes are washed and on the rack to dry. It just seems like such a waste of time to me. I know this seems unrelated, but to me Twitter is a similar situation. I can let everyone know that I’ve stepped out of my automobile, or that the weather is beautiful right now, or I could just write an email to people I actually know and care about, and tell them about my day. If I want a more widespread audience, I may post it on Facebook.
I found this clip on YouTube where Kevin Spacey and David Letterman talk about Twitter. Spacey is a Tweeter, and Dave is clueless. I think Dave’s final impression of Twitter says it just the way I would want to:
I have to agree with Letterman….”Tweeting is indeed a colossal waste of time”.
