Do you think Im a Twit(ter)?

Met someone recently in SL who, after one hour of conversation forwarded me a link to his personalised Twitter home page....

Now "I" know I'm not psycho, but does he? lol

Not sure whether you are familiar with this new phenomenom, but up until yesterday I wasnt. Basically its a site where you are able to log information every 10 mins or so (presumably via phone text) providing updates about your whereabouts and what exciting things youre doing. Now call me crazy... (although I'll slap you in the face if you do! lol), but this screams amazingly rediculous to me for a number of reasons....

Who in their right mind wants people to see what they are up to every minute of their day? Would make for very interesting reading for friends of a Second Life user... Might read like this:

FRIDAY NIGHT - PARTY NIGHT

7pm: Just signed into SL 7:15pm Getting a drink 7:20pm: Back playing SL 8pm: Toilet break 8:10pm: Pixelated - Drinking cocktails, dancing in a sexy black dress at the hottest night club and socialising with all my fantastic friends - WOOT! - Real Life: Sitting at my PC in flannel PJ's and ugg boots drinking green tea! lol - woot?).

And why would you want to give people the ability to also keep track of your whereabouts in a way which would let them stalk you? Stalker would see entry: "heading for quiet walk in deserted park" and think, hmmmmm, this is just too easy! A thief might think "hmmmm, house empty for next 30 mins - bloody fantastic!"

But really, who the heck even has time to give up-to-date reports about their comings and goings? As it is I find it hard to keep up with things (outside of SL of course! lol I know my priorities). My entries would likely start with a friendly tone and then just deteriorate... 1.50pm: just finished great lunch with work colleagues 1.55pm: Just about to go into important budget meeting 2pm: Frantically looking for important budget paperwork to take to meeting 2:10: still looking for bloody paperwork.... now running late for the meeting 2:15: might actually FIND paperwork if I didnt have to keep providing these bloody updates every 5 mins!!!! 2.20: STOP FRIGGEN' PROMPTING ME FOR THESE F*%#*N UPDATES - AGHHHHHHHHH!!!

Anyway.... you get the drift.... lol
