Twitter Crazy

Twitter was never something that I wanted to do. I just thought it was just another Facebook or Myspace and eventually it would just become the next “big thing” for teenagers and young adults to have. But twitter was something I was never going to make an account with because I thought it was meaningless. I mean, what’s the point of updating a status almost twenty times a day so EVERYONE could know what you’re doing at every moment of your life. It seemed more like a stalker website to me.

But in my FYE class it was an assignment to make a twitter account and “tweet” for a whole week. Now I didnt want to fail so I made the account and started using it. At first it was boring because I was following random people and only a couple of people were following me. On the first day  I tweeted once and left the account alone for a couple of days because it already seemed boring. But around Wednesday I logged back into my account and my follower’s list doubled literally overnight. I started to look at other people’s twitters and some accounts had 300, 700, and some over 1,000 followers. I didnt even know that many people used twitter and followed random people. But then I started to read some of their tweets, especially celebrity tweets, and after reading them I also followed them.

Twitter overall wasnt as bad as I thought it was. It’s a website that will soon be as big as Facebook and probably as big as Myspace used to be. And even though the assignment is over I have yet to delete my Twitter account because I will probably continue to tweet until I get 300, 700, or maybe even 1,000 followers.
