Twitter: The most friendly social networking site around!

Of course my opinion...nobody has confirmed this as of yet.



I will say though, once you get into it, it's a very nice thing to be part of, there's no real pressure to update, you could sit a whole day and just watch the comments go by. With other sites, Facebook, Myspace and so forth, there is a certain thing of people adding you for no real reason, and usually make no effort to contact you; some will just leave bit comments and some may not leave you alone, despite you never meeting them in real life. Whereas with Twitter, as your comments are out in the open, and everyone has access to them via some way (pre and post follow), and you know if someone adds you they must be reading your comments to some extent because the main premise of Twitter is 'micro-blogging', so you'll only want to add people you think are interesting/funny/nice and so forth.



Moreover everyone on Twitter is just themselves (from personal experience), there is no real 'pretentious' nature, for example people who just, on facebook/myspace. upload pictures of themselves done professionally and are only wanting comments on how good looking they are, or say ''new pics up, comments plz(please)'', to be honest I'd only notify people if pictures are up of a group event, like a prom, or a general day out. On Twitter, everyone is happy enough to use the rule of thumb 'What you see is what you get', obviously you're not getting to know anyone ''too personally'' on the whole, but you do get to know people to some degree, and usually that's seeing people 'RTing' and commenting on what you've said, it's a nice feeling when people, who you barely know, share your point of view, or think something you said is funny. Not that anyone is trying too hard to be funny, far from it.

Simply put Twitter has that nice vibe about it, as I aforementioned the thing of getting into it, I'll admit there were stages when I wasn't interested, mainly due to I wasn't following many and lost interest therefore. More recently, I've met some really cool people who are lovely to talk to. I should note, a lot of ''my school yard chums'' don't use Twitter, if they did I probably follow them, but that's a big ''if'' mind you...they are mainly over in facebook corner.

In closing, no snobbishness, no nastiness, just Twitter-ness; a bliss Utopia for conversing with people over the internet, ok maybe ''bliss Utopia'' is over stating it a bit, still I hope you get my point.
