For several days, I had this rather unimportant question haunting me. One might ask, what’s the big deal? What do you lose by tweeting anyways? It’s in fact more fun, to keep the world informed everything about you. There’s so much more like retweeting those tweets that you liked, reply to your followers, uploading photos instantly and even post something interesting you came across with a tiny URL! With all such fun to do and on the go features of Twitter which revolutionized the world in its 5yrs of existence why would someone as weird as myself wonder if one should tweet or not!?
Yes, retweets are fun, photos are fun too. And replies? I was super excited when my favorite celebrity’s son replied to my tweet. World might look so closely knit.
But, each time I got on to tweet, I found myself in a fix with its 140 character limitation. For people like me who prefer calls and lengthy e-mails to SMSs, hanging out with friends to Facebook or whatever, micro blogging Twitter was no tool to reckon with. I couldn’t put my thoughts in less than 140 characters. If you tell me there’s long tweet option, well I didn’t really care to make it so complicated for my followers (including myself)
My poems were dying, my reviews got shortened. And my mind that thinks 1 page (and not beyond) started thinking 140 characters. A loyal blogger had become a regular tweeter. Well that wasn’t for the bad. But micro blogging against blogging? I said no! Juggling between the two I did no justice to my blogger which undeniably has become an addiction and a part of my’self’!
I’ve almost bid my farewell to twitter and my friend has asked me to delete my account so that he would un-follow me! Well, I have my reasons for not being a micro-blogger. Nevertheless, you guys catch me here on blogger all the time!
Later!
