About a month ago, I joined the already giant, yet rapidly growing group of super-bored people of the Internet, called Twitter. I installed their ugly box on my sidebar. Then I started thinking how I could use that new, free tool for anything, anything at all.

After a good five minutes into thinking about it, I just pulled me shoulder like hundreds of thousands of others before me and started twitting. As often as I could, I went on that site to report every on every day of my life. Though I found it annoying that each submission could be up to 140 characters and that I already had a blog where I could report on my day-to-day life. So I only saw one solution: I started it twitting more often, so my thoughts could get posted right away resulting in 2-3 submissions in a row and I was twitting more frequently. Now, I was very careful not to become a twittercoholic or anything like that, so I never actually started using my cell phone to do such things.

Today, I found an excellent post on seotunes.co.uk titled “21 Reasons Twitter Is Bullshit” which made me think how stupid it is to waste my valuable time on such stupid thing. Especially because I cannot get any SEO value out of the damn thing since its outbound links are all stuffed with nofollows.

I think the day has come: I will stop twitting… well maybe not forever… just for a while… until the operators of twitter will do something to make some sense of their creation. Until then: the twitter box has to come off this site.
