she had a wax yesterday and other twitter mania

30 03 2007

waiting for my plummer… my toilet!! – I finally had a wax yesterday – she IS cheating on me :-( – Traffic on 90 westbound is slow – just switched off Apple Mail and moved to Outlook 2007 – I have a busy day today – took the garbage out, holding Fritz, and ready to take Beetle to school on my way to work – i am eating lasagne………

As small sample of extremely interesting & insightfull “mini-blogs” on twitter – the latest web 2.0 frenzy that is pretty hard to avoid. I can hardly be accused of being a conservative dull boring technology adaptor – but I hate the frenzy for the frenzy. And I don’t like to be made perfectly clear over and over again that it’s totally uncool and unapropriate to say that a lot of the stuff out there is just not… euh cool. I am working for a technology leader so who am I to say bad things about cool web 2.0 stuff. I love the technology – but not the end result. Well, twitter is maybe addictive but i actually don’t care what kind of wax you had, how much it costed and if your plummer did show up. It’s all so meaningless. Connecting people around little stories, sure it will all have a point. Mobile integration: I agree, this seems to work and scale pretty well – if you pay the bill. And the underlying technology will probably serve better causes in the future. But not for me for the moment. Done that, ticked the box, let’s move on.

Hm. Agree – not exactly a well balanced SWOT analysis – an insignificant rant at best – but i am a little tired after a full & tense London week – and certainly tired of meaningless conversations. If you think spamming all your ‘friends’ is totally socially acceptable – if you think people need that deep insight into your fridge: go big, go twitter. And a tip if you want to waste even more of your invaluable time: go ‘watch people twitter’ at Twittervision. Ok if you like it: just go on anyway.

PS: if somebody knows if that plumber finally showed up: don’t tell me.
