Twitter: The web pages you won't have seen!
Anyone fed up with Maggie yet? Everytime you go to the Twitter home page, there she is with her superior smile and school teacher ways...we know her type! Anyway, Maggie is always on view, but have you ever taken the time to look at the other pages about why and how? Have you ever watched the video? We'd bet a very small amount of money that you haven't. It's a bit like the "I'm feeling lucky" button in Google...no one clicks it.
Anyway, we recommend you take a look at the "why", "how" and the video; it's very apparent that they explain what twitter was supposed to be about when it was first introduced. Answering the question "What are you doing?" and sharing this between family and friends is certainly different to amassing thousands and thousands of followers. Anyway, here are some screen shots with our observations...
So Twitter puts you in control does it?! And a modern "antidote" to information overload!! In the early days maybe, but it has, in our humble opinion, achieved the exact opposite. Anyone else lost a couple of hours a day to Twitter, Tweetdeck etc?
Here's another one
Eating Soup!! (Don't you drink it?)...we'll give them the other two, but for us tweets which are updates along the lines of "eating soup" "scratching my nose" and "me me me" add intensity to the noise factor. Especially as it is no longer about friends and family. And then there is Carla.
Not sure why she is wearing an England shirt from the 80's or why she has a shaven head; maybe it's an interpretation of "plain English"? Anyway, she blows that by uncovering her love of Van Halen later in the video.
We'd recommend taking a look, we found it quite amusing. The guys a Twitter when making this stuff at the outset, could never have envisaged the scale Twitter would grow to in their wildest of wild dreams. hats off to them. Our interpretation is below.
