A dump, really, of three years' of micro-blogging on the popular site, Twitter.
Just today, another railing article out of the UK pointing a finger this time at social networking for all that ails us in the world. What Twitter actually is: an incredible personal history archiving tool, a way to share mundane but fun details of life with farflung friends and family, a trend sniffer for what people really care about, a tool for freedom and contact when megalomaniacs rule. Also a tool for solidarity, compassion, committment and belonging. Sure there's the occasional hate speech, and sure there is bullying, but we had all of that long before digital media. Let's stop being so silly, worrying about 'the perils of self-revelation' and understand that it is bonding and sharing and their most fundamental and transformative levels. I share with you three years of mundane details of my life. See if you enjoy.
