Tweeting it is then!

As a person who likes to know what the hell is going on around him especially in the technology world, I finally decided to create a twitter account and try this amazingly popular new service myself. On a similar note I once created an account on facebook just to see what it was like since everyone was talking about it, but just a week later, I deleted my account bored to death by what I saw. The one thing that I like (at a first glance) with twitter is that there is not much personal information to share and it looks easier to control how much personal information you expose to the outside world. One might say that the same is true for facebook, but that would be non-true. Not giving your personal information on facebook beats it’s sole purpose of existence. If you really want to keep in touch with friends, classmates etc, you cannot avoid but give real personal information, which one way or another is accessible by a huge number of people. With twitter at the moment i feel i can control my exposion (is this the right word??). My main aim with my twitter account is not to share everyday minute to minute activity information. I’m not gonna be tweeting about how the food I had was so great or how I got drunk at that party etc. My main aim is to follow a handful of interesting tweeters that might share interesting website or articles, maybe pointing out some new technologies or applications which I might otherwise miss.I will more or less be tweeting about similar things that I discover on my digital life, but not on my analogue (away from the computer) life. There will also be some political tweets here and there and that’s it. Anyway, I’m curious to see how it will go. I might find it as boring as facebook and shut it down in a week, or I might find that I actualy have access to a wider space of the internet through other’s tweets, which is my primary and only goal anyway, and keep it forever and ever…
