A recent post in digital media world called ‘Facebored‘ pointed out that Facebook starts getting kind of boring. Not because it doesn’t update its applications or services, but simply because its bubble has now burst. I’ve heard of Facebook for quite some time but really didn’t feel the need to join the community. Now that I did - mostly out of curiosity - I can really associate with the digital media post.

The -in a sense- sudden growth of the Twitter community makes me feel the same. I don’t see the need to join twitter; let me explain why:

1. Sometimes, I enjoy being alone. (with my mobile turned off)
2. It’s addictive.
3. We have enough connectivity, thank you.
4. Like ‘Nobody’ said in the Jim Jarmusch film Dead Man: “you talk too much and say nothing”
5. Too many people know too much about each other (already)
6. Sometimes, it seems like spam.
7. “Having a blast with my nephews”, “enjoying paris by night”, “changing my ringtone”. *precious*
8. information and knowledge in 140 characters just doesn’t feel right.
9. it’s a marketing tool. (hurrae! more advertising)
10. it’s an ego distillery.
11. many headlines and no news.
12. inspite of its affinity to mobile technology, it remains a web application.

and by the way, why do you like mobile phones?
