"Twitter" I said when I first signed up, "is just a stripped down version of Facebook" . At least that's what I thought when I first signed up to this bubbly looking social networking site. But Twitter is so simple, that it takes away the whole self-centred crap you find on sites such as Myspace.
Twitter actually seems to be able to deliver some quality content as well as a space to vent out your 140 character, or less, thoughts during the day.
Easy to set up and instantly available to your phone, one can 'tweet' whether they are at a computer or on the toilet in a local pub, reception and battery permitting.
However, I put 'Twitterific', the iPhone Twitter application, onto my phone and it simply doesn't do the same job. It just bundles a load of pointless posts from people I couldn't care less for, mostly because I don't understand the language they are posting in.
Don't get me wrong, I am interested in culture and other peoples lives, but I am not willing to learn Japanese to hear how someones egg roll had hardly any egg in it.
All in all, Twitter has it's uses, some especially I like. One Tweeter I found and decided to follow, sounding like a stalker waiting for his pray of information to creep out his abode, was Indiefeed, a profile that posts links on new Indy bands and a clip of their song. Perfect for a band hungry stalker like me.
