Twouble With Twitter. (6)
I think that when one tweets, there really isn't anyone in particular that they are speaking to. "Who are they talking to?" is an excellent question to ask tweeters. Who am I talking to when I tweet? I do have my own personal twitter aside from the one we made for class. To be honest, I'm not sure who I'm talking to. I think I just tweet thoughts because I want to write my thoughts down and twitter provides a place to do so. I don't tweet to a specific audience unless I'm replying to someone or actually tweeting at someone. Sometimes I'll tweet at someone and wonder why I didn't just text or call them. I'm not sure who is reading my tweets...maybe those who follow me because my twitter is a private account. But to be honest, I don't really care who reads my tweets. So why do I tweet? I think I tweet for selfish reasons. Twitter is a blog. I micro blog my thoughts.. Usually pertaining to food or if hungry or if I think someone looks/smells/seems weird (nice right?). I originally made my twitter to follow my favorite bands and artists and I didn't tweet at all. Eventually I started to and I have been ever since. I agree with the video when it says that tweeters tweet to "no one and everyone at the same time." I also agree with the man who basically says how stupid twitter is and how in our generation we keep on making more and more pointless programs/websites/technological things that we get addicted to. Twitter is stupid and pointless and I think a lot of people that have an account agree, yet we (as tweeters) all still have a twitter and continue to tweet. It's a weird addiction.

Thanks for your post! I completely agree with what you said about who you tweet for. Or if you care if people read your tweets or not. I will admit that most of my tweets are probably very useless and irrelevant to many things. I definitely think it is a weird addiction but I can't help but constantly check my timeline or just tweeting about how tired or hungry or things like that.
