Could someone please explain to me the value of Twitter? More specifically, what is the value of using LiveJournal as some sort of Twitter aggregator?
The minutiae of most people's lives just aren't that interesting, and Twitter's model is diametrically opposed to sustained narrative or even coherent exposition. I look at these Twitter-generated posts on my f-list and find them incomprehensible; they're too fragmentary, too link-heavy, and too filled with decontextualized pseudo-content to be readable.
So, what's the point of dumping a whole bunch of these Twitter entries into a blog and calling it a post?

I don't know exactly how accurate this is as far as other see me, but there's a lot of overlap between their description and my self-image. Of course, given the fact that I answered the damn questions, that should come as no surprise. Still, it strikes me as pretty perceptive for a 3 minute test.
"Enraged" is a bit of an overstatement, though.

| You do not feel nervous in social situations, and have a good impression of what others think of you, however you feel enraged when things do not go your way. You are sensitive about being treated fairly and feel resentful and bitter if you think you are being cheated. You like crowds but sometimes feel overwhelmed by them. Sometimes you feel like you need some privacy and time for yourself. Generally you are not considered to be an emotional person, however you are aware of and in touch with your emotions. You do not enjoy confrontation, but you will stand up for yourself or push your point if you feel it is important, however you feel superior to those around you and sometimes tend to be seen as arrogant by other people. You have a reasonable amount of will-power and are able to follow through on tasks that you feel you need to complete. You can be distracted however and have been known to procrastinate. |
