once upon a time, we have such thing called a DIARY.
it's this book-like thing where we write all our little secrets and
details about our daily life (for example, how many times we visit the
toilet a day, how many minutes did we spend waiting for the bus, who we
decided to friend and defriend etc etc etc.)
oh, not forgetting drawing pictures of people we dislike and starting to deface them.
people who bothers to write diaries actually keep these books locked and stacked up in a small little drawer at their desk.
as time passes, parts of this diary evolved to something known as a BLOG
functions wise, they are pretty much similar. (well, i still see some
people blogging about the minute details about their daily lives - eg.
i went toilet after this this this...i spent 15 minutes waiting for the
bus etc etc etc.)
except that you can probably add some music to the background and some
videos which occasionally cause the computer slow down and hang.
without a physical lock, we have got something known as a PASSWORD to LOCK our blogs
thinking that their blogs are safe with the virtual lock, people start
to talk about people they hate and some serious bitching not knowing
that the other party is actually on the other side of the virtual world
reading every single thing they write.
but anyway, this is something that you do not get to do when writing a diary and that is called SHARING.
and when people gets tired of reading endless long posts that talk
about the number of times they visit the toilet, the number of minutes
they wait for the bus, who they hate and all the bitching, we have
something new called TWITTER.
short and sweet. 140 characters. but you tweet about your life every 5 seconds.
twitter does keeps its users away from blogging - true/false
*checks ira's blog*
*checks val's blog*
*checks my blog*
all the details that usually goes into one long blog entry, 1000 words
and more, are now split into 100 tweets (each 140 characters)
if that's the case, does more tweets = no life? OR more tweets = exciting life
i can't really seem to answer that question myself.
kindly ignore this post if you are reading it, it's just a
random/pointless/boring/meaningless entry that i have decided to type
while sitting in the office, trying to avoid replying emails.
THE END
