With two weeks of impending break (starting tomorrow), I figured I have the luxury of time to engage in yet another apparently time-wasting activity a.k.a Twitter.
I never figured out what the point was in posting status updates incessantly. Even filling in the blank status update bar in Facebook has sometimes proven to be stumping, because the information entered has to somehow straddle the space between the public and private self, or be entirely in the public self. And with the number of 'friends' increasing, including many whom I barely know or haven't even spoken to, this has been getting trickier.
So I don't know why I started twittering and I don't know how long this ride will last but for now I have TweetDeck on my desktop to facilitate endless distractions and decreased productivity. There is strange solace in knowing that other people are similarly involved in such an apparently inane activity. Majority-imputed significance perhaps?
