Twitter.com has brought a whole new meaning to broadcasting yourself on a social network. Of course the younger generation has completely changed its original purpose. While twitter is used for many businesses t promote their business it is also used for many artists to allow their fans to feel more personally connected to them by tweeting about their feelings and their day. I have once said twitter allows me to be with my "friends" even when we aren’t together.
My twitter timeline is filled with celebrities that have encouraging things to say and try staring trending topics to make people laugh.
Trending topics have changed the face of what people keep private
Many tweeters use Trending Topics such as #twitterafterdark, #thoughtsduringsex @sexisgoood #turnons #secretturnon and similiar topics to explcitly talk about their sex lives.
Honestly... it’s the equivalent of walking into a crowded room and announcing to everyone that you would like to tell them all the private details of your sex life. Its not much of a good look and I am not one to speak of what is lady like but it just isn’t attractive to just blurt the details of you sex life to everyone you know.
Twitter also has alot of "tell all" Trending Topics such as #confessions #iadmit and other similar ones. This I don’t necessarily think is negative but sometimes people don’t realize how many of their real feelings they put on the line just for the sake of participating in a trending topic, however I can honestly say that i have grown to enjoy telling people random facts about me. No matter how personal they are as long as I find them tasteful
Venting
Many people see twitter as a form of venting. I am one of those people. There are definitely some people who over do it and there are definitely some people who do not think twitter should be used for that purpose. I personally do use twitter to vent but I have learned to not vent about things I do not want to be asked about. a=Again having 80 followers its the equivalent of walking into a room and yelling "i am so angy everyone! I hate this SHIT!" there are times when the details are inappropriate and I have learned to tone down my exact feeling and thoughts when "venting by way of twitter.
Subliminal
Many people I know who use twitter engage in twitter subliminal. They tweet things about people who are following them without mentioning that person they are speaking about. I am very much against this. I do not tweet subliminal on twitter unless i do not want the rest of followers to know who I am referring to even then, it is always specific enough for that person to know that it is about them. Tweeting subliminally is very disrespectful. If you feel a way toward someone i strongly believe they should know and you should tell them. They should not have to read between the lines.
Many people find some tings n twitter pointless ad annoying but they still indulge, The slogan began as "what are you doing?" however no one cares if you are brushing your teeth. The slogan is now "What’s happening" so go on a head, tell your followers "what's happening" but please use discretion.
