Week 9 - Twitter

Thing 15
Dumb. So, so dumb. I hate Twitter for the same reason I hate Facebook. I DON'T CARE WHAT EVERYONE I KNOW OR DON'T KNOW IS DOING OR THINKING!!!! OPINIONS ARE LIKE BELLYBUTTONS; everyone has one, but no one cares about yours.

It's like being on an episode of Hoarders only instead of dead cats and human feces, there is just a constant stream of information. I like order. When I want to know about something, I look into it. I don't want to be the collection point for stuff that might be useful, but has to be sorted through.

Library feeds could be useful, but I'm not going to read through everything I'm given just to find out. I want to wait until there is a need and then look.

And it is all well and good to have a link to 15 librarians to follow, but there is no button to follow them and I don't see myself taking the time to look them up individually just because an article by someone I don't know or recognize said I should.

I won't use it in my current library because unsupervised computer usage and cell phones are prohibited. Even if it were a useful tool, I can't get past my hatred long enough to engage.
