Funny and valid complaints about twitter and Social TV from Daniel Burt
I try to spare the world from my brain’s every fired synapse. I hear that when you reach 100,000 tweets, the Queen sends a telegram telling you #knockitoff.
I can scarcely remember life before all the tweeple, twitterati, tweeps and twaffic in the Twitterverse. The twerminology is meant to be cute but it’s a twap.
A disturbing bulk of social media users have no qualms about being mindless and/or despicable
Live-tweeting is about barracking for your team, contestant, crush, cause or party. Nothing wrong with that. But I am wary of elevating ill-conceived feedback to the level of legitimate wisdom. Breakfast presenters read out opinions of horrifying ignorance and waste our time by treating it with undue respect. The inclusiveness is ostensibly a tip of the hat to the idea of a ”fair go” but more likely panders to those who complain. The common sense of the silent majority is neglected to grease the squeaky wheel.
