Among the three networks of LinkedIn, Facebook and twitter. I feel Facebook and twitter have the maximum potential to 'waste your time' and in the process make you own life "a waste".
Now who or what is twitter for. I feel twitter should be only for celebrities and famous people who are 'busy people' and need to communicate with their fans or followers.
For the rest who are not that busy or 'relatively unknown' they should write 'blog'. I feel a 140 character limit does not project the idea properly. Also, due to the word limit one would become a person of few words. One will lose ones vocabulory, power of expression and "ones mind would become hollow".
A person reading someones tweet may not get the 'full idea' and the tweet may become open for 'misinterpretation'. Also, when one starts using twitter one mind may become like 'tunnel vision'.
Also, a person like me used to post 'what movies I have watched'. If I don't watch a movie there would be no tweet.
Due to life's commitments I may not be able to watch a single movie for 'weeks on end'. Then what do I do. I do not tweet and then my twitter account remains 'useless'. It is important that I watch a movie or watch the movie and not important that 'I tweet about it'. I should not watch a movie just so that I can tweet about it. I should watch a movie to 'entertain myself', relax, pass time and so on. Twitter should be that last reason for my act of watching a movie. It is like a case of 'misplaced priorities'. When one does not have money to eat one should not think of buying a BMW so to speak.
Also, twitter gives a word limit. And that is problem. People 'work around' this. They give 'links'. Clicking on the link will lead to the 'actual stuff' the parties are tweeting about.
Then what use us twitter. We can always 'google it'. We can visit the websites of the parties we are looking at(in twitter).
Also, celebrities may post what they want and like and that is their right. They will not post what their fans or some of their fans want. No one can read some others mind even if it is of the fans. Again twitter becomes useless and nothing but time waste.
Certainly not an excuse to invade countries (like Libya) based on tweets by 'dubious elements' where it may not be known that what they are tweeting about is the 'truth or not.
