I am scratching my but. (big news) I just bought a pair of shoes (wgaf) I can not see what the sensation of this is. I really don't. Following someone is akin of stalking. Sorry for the rant but I was just wondering what it is that pulls people to tweet.
I think it's another product of the "Me Generation". Through such sites as this, along with Facebook and MySpace, we can, now, publish our (mis)deeds throughout the entire world. We can, now, boast hundreds of friends who we'll never meet, or who we'll forget in time because they became sickeningly mundane, much as we are.
Nothing short of self advertising.
Hey! Look at me! I can pick boogers while I drive, text, and do my nails!!!!!
I do it if I need to keep a conversation private and I'm in company of others...........or, if the person on the other end is in such a position as TG eludes to.
