I wasn't much impressed with the 'blog' concept when it became a fad, because it gave people the chance to keep up with every teeny tiny thing going on in their lives as if they are that interesting or important enough for people to keep track of... Um people, that's called stalking! And as self absorbed as you may be thinking that you are the centre of the universe and everyone wants to read your 'diary', chances are that the people who are reading it and keeping track of you, aren't the nice type of people you want to have reading it...
And now we have twitter... the answer to 'how do I make sure people are actually following the events of my life, because I'm that important'...
It's bad enough that we have people writing about themselves to be noticed like a celebrity, but now have the ability to force people to get live updates of their boring little lives.
A concept like twitter would be useful for things like watching the stock market, or sports results, but celebrity twitter feeds??? It's worse than reality TV... and you're essentially being authorised to cyber-stalk someone...
It makes me wonder if it something that could lead to abductions, as it sounds like it could be a means to tracking someone's plans and movements.
