#2: Nobody tags on your tagboard.
#3: Nobody realises that you tried to pull a Palin [i.e.: inject a
publicity blitz]
#4: You are physically ~900km further away from your readers.
#5: Nobody remembers you, your look, and your name.
#6: Nobody writes on your Facebook wall
#7: Nobody sends you tweets on twitter.
#8: Nobody sends you friend requests on Facebook, MySpace, Twitter,
IM, or worse, Friendster.
#9: You start to use weird analogies that cannot be understood without
explanation.
#10: You start making a list of signs that nobody reads your blog /
signs that you are insignificant.
Erm, ok, #8 didn't happen.
In fact, for some strange reason, more and more of my genuine friends
[by that, I mean people that I really know in person, not phony
internet friends who never talk to you and just follow you on twitter
to boost their own numbers] are going on Twitter and adding me!
For those who don't know what Twitter is, it's a micro-blogging site
where you can either send an SMS or use various social networking
apps / web apps [like Twinkle on the iPhone, Friendfeed on
friendfeed.com, etc.] or just use twitter.com to submit a post of no
more than 140 characters per tweet for the world to see. People can
follow you to see what you posted. You can also post tweets directed
at / talking about other tweeter members by adding an @ in front of
their user name. It's become very popular in the US West Coast and the
UK. Seems like the Twitter fever has caught up with the rest of the
world!
Just recently, BenSee, Matthew Lim, and Zul added me. Before them,
Ryan Lee, Paul Lin, and Elliot were already on twitter.
So join the phenomenon!
and add me, whether you know me or not!:
