I Liked Twitter More When It Was Underground

Tongue in cheek :)

Twitter has really blown up this past month and has been talked about on just about every mainstream news front. I had a conversation with my brother the other day and he even said “I’ve been seeing people talk about it, but I’ve been wondering what it is”. This prompted me to post a message on Twitter and I got the following mixed responses:

Bwana: You don't realize how weird Twitter is until you try to explain it to your family. Now I”m questioning why I even use it :P

zengiraffe: My feelings exactly. I tried explaining Twitter to a friend and he looked at me like I need to be locked up for my own protection.

KMPhotographer: You should do a video or blog post on how to explain Twitter to others. I'm sure there are plenty of people in the same boat.

I don’t know what it is, but when I explain Twitter to others, I get this weird feeling of “Why do *I* even like it?”. There’s so much about Twitter that can’t be explained (a la Matrix), but I feel Twitter is much more than what it seems on the surface. Sometimes it’s frustrating when people don’t get it, but I’m not too concerned about that. Either people like something or they don’t, you can’t change the way they think. (See: Myspace)

Still, it’s amazing to see the growth of Twitter, but the ride there was fun. In case you missed the tongue in cheek reference, I was kidding with the title, but I do believe Twitter is about to change now that it’s mainstream. Whether that change will be for the best or the worst, remains to be seen. You can follow me on Twitter, I’m @Bwana.
