Comments on: …You should be twittering? http://www.didntyouhear.com/2007/03/18/you-should-be-twittering/ Anything and Everything that is cool, hot, fresh and classic.

I've worked as a teacher and seen kids who can type faster than I can (and I can type pretty damn fast) but can hardly write legibly - can I go out on a limb and suggest that maybe all this time spent in front of the shiny box 'socialising' isn't actually of benefit. Sure, it means we get to meet all manner of interesting people: if it weren't for reading blogs I wouldn't have come accross DYH after all, but I'm also getting cagey about how much and where I put my 'details' on the 'Net as well. Gome are the 'halycon' days of IRC chat and MSN Profiles... I'm now just waiting for the intergral USB hub that connects directly into my sinapses and instantly downloads my thoughts to screen. ;) Yes, I'm a cynic, so sue me.

Time will tell though. I’d agree that sometimes just *talking* gets overlooked too often, but I do think that twitter has some interesting possibilities if people use it and don’t abuse it.

I'm sure it's great and all, but what happened to just IM and e-mail. I dunno, maybe I'm weird but I like *talking* to people! Properly! Oh God, not another Web 2.0 phenomenon.
