It’s a virtual aviary out there, with lots of twittering and tweeting. As much as I love technology (and , too!), I’ve drawn the line at Twittering.
Top 10 Reasons I DON’T Twitter:
- Facebook status updates allow me to inform friends of important events in my life.
- Facebook status updates keep me updated about what my friends are up to.
- I don’t have time to add yet another time-sucking activity to my life.
- I don’t want to depend upon a service that limits me to 140 characters in length.
- When I signed up for Twitter, it wouldn’t read my AOL email addresses to see which of my friends are on Twitter. It still says, “Importing from AOL has been temporarily disabled.”
- My few friends who use Twitter also use Facebook, so I’m already in touch with what they’re up to.
- Even though I can restrict who gets my updates, it’s a bit creepy that some males that I don’t know are “following” me on Twitter. Ick.
- I use my blog to express myself.
- I don’t want to start boring people with the minutiae of my life.
- I don’t need it for either my personal or my professional life.
Maybe I’ll change my tune in the future and Twitter away, but for now it’s not happening. So if you’re following me on Twitter, bless you, but you won’t be following me anywhere. If you know me in real life, find me on Facebook. Or go old school and email me or call me.
I need convincing reasons to activate my inactive FaCeBook acct. Why??
Twitter is good if I need to find the latest on Kogi Korean Taco Truck.
Besides your reason above, which i can mostly apply to FB also, I’m waiting for Google to fine tune their social service to replace the FB.
OK, OK, alright already! I went to facebook.com last night but it wouldn’t load. Maybe everyone else in the world was on it! I’ll try again tomorrow. Heading over in a couple of minutes to the convention center to do live TV coverage (KPAS) of election night.
Love Twitter… it’s addicting! Come on… give it a try one more time!
I’ve tried three times, and it keeps saying it can’t check my address book.
I’ve got 650+ friends on Facebook. I’d rather concentrate on them than on the nine people, including strangers, who follow me on Twitter.
It’s probably more useful for you, since you’re in real estate.
Your reasons are pretty much the reasons I don’t,either. However, for those who want leverage professionally, the number of friends on fb doesn’t equate to followers on Twitter. Or at least that is what I’m assuming.
I too deleted my twitter a/c and wrote another new 10 point post on that. You can read it at http://abhishekjha.net/post/1047032237/why-i-finally-said-no-to-twitter
