True, the twitter feeds from Mumbai during the gunman siege were drama.

The first pic of the Hudson River landing was from a guy on a ferry boat with a camera phone and a twitter client. http://www.businessinsider.com/2009/1/us-airways-crash-rescue-picture-citizen-jouralism-twitter-at-work For instance, I live about an hour from Philadelphia PA. I was ready to hit the sack around midnight about a month ago when my mom emails me saying that there was a small tremor and asking if I felt it. I did not, so trying to prove she's crazy I started checking out the news sites, local and national. Nothing. Went to search.twitter.com and typed in "earthquake". Dozens upon dozens of tweets from people living near Lancaster where the epicenter was located. One tweet was a link to the USGS site with info on the tremor. So, twitter isn't just about who's boning who or if Sally thinks the guy down the street is hot, it's actually pretty useful for info on news/current events.

Oh, and I highly doubt the Trent Reznor one is real - looks like an infrequently updating fake to me. Yeah, mine’s http://twitter.com/Richaod/ if anyone’s interested (…you’re not).

Now if I can only keep on top of my MySpace, Facebook, MetalSucks blogs, In Cold Blog, Blood of the Scribe blogs, personal website, Flixster, e-mails, etc., etc., etc. Oh yeah, and maybe finish my next damn book!

I leave my facebook account up because I have too many friends who I can only contact through there, but I am resisting twitter as I have resisted a few other things lately... I have enough computer based addictions... and I'm not so naive as to believe that ANYONE really cares THAT much what I am doing to actually subscribe or follow my tweets. Twitter has been around for at least 2 years. A dude came in to my class at college 2 years ago to talk about some 'up and coming' shit, twitter was one thing. I'm surprised it took this long to really break through. Oh yeah, and by twittering/updating your facebook status constantly, you are making big brother's job MUCH easier.

Just yesterday I was wondering what bands and such use it. I did find Century Media and Victory Records both use it.

Thu, 12 Feb 2009 01:38:47 +0000 http://www.metalsucks.net/?p=11634#comment-197828 I will not get a Facebook or Twitter. Want to know why? Because you don't have to be updated on every thing a person does. Or update everyone on what you do. Is this life? Is this society? Take a moment from twittering yourself to death and think of the future. Where is this headed? Do you want a complete electronic, consumerist, commercial filled world dedicated to the latest fads and celebrity gossip? Do you wish to never see the world as it naturally exists? Don't you realize that as you document every inane thing you do, you are being royally fucked by a government you forgot to keep an eye on? What's the most you can lose? What if twitter or facebook didn't exist? Would your life fall apart? Get out. Live life. Enjoy the world. There is more than online networking to fulfill yourselves. This may seem a little off or "strange" to most, but the point of living is to strive for enlightenment. Release yourself from the ego and you will be free. I know there will be jokes made about this post...I don't care. My final statement will be this: Technology is good, but at an arms length. When it starts to envelop entire lives or starts to invade our bodies, the end of the human being will be over. Sort of like the theme from Fear Factory's "Obsolete". Good day.
