In which she makes herself unpopular

[mousme]

Have I mentioned that I loathe Twitter?

It's almost as bad as the "status" thing on Facebook, except that it might possibly be worse, as you're supposed to update it all the &$#% time!

I cannot imagine anything more hateful to me, than to constantly have to tell people whatever random thing I'm doing precisely at this moment.

Maybe I'm just grumpy.

I'd rather get one thoughtful post every few days from a friend, rather than have a bunch of unrelated sentences and fragments dumped on me at the end of the day.

I hear you. The fragments drive me nuts. My exception is people who update with a statement like a succinct blog post, such as silly_imp has done here rather than posting their half of an ongoing conversation, the missing bits of which aren't included in the Twitter update so I have no idea what they're actually talking about. A collection of tweets like the ones in that example run very close to the brief "X Random Things Make A Post" lists that people use once in a while.

Twitter strikes me as very time-consuming. Not the actual posting, but the keeping up with everyone throwing sentences at one another all the time.

Reviewing agreement; badly drafted.

Seriously, though, could not agree with you more. I feel badly if I just post a short-by-my-standards update without much substance. Letting people know I just made a PB&J for lunch would make my head explode.
