Someone, please, talk me out of this idea. Or into it.

do it and i whup the fuckin’ tar outta yr ass.

the excellent thing about twitter is that you can avoid that annoyance he mentioned, and not have mobile alerts on, and instead choose to check twitter online whenever you please.

So, I’ve decided to give it a trial run. I think that a service like this can be useful for a specific thing, and that thing only. For instance, I use Tumblr to see entertaining things from friends, I use Facebook very very rarely now but it’s an awesome tool for setting up events and parties. The one thing I’d like out of Twitter is to give me a better idea, in real-time, of what my friends are up to as far as events on the weekend or week nights.

I don’t want to follow or be followed people that aren’t in the NYC area and that I don’t hang out with otherwise.

If it can serve that one, simple purpose well, then I’ll continue to use it.

As for posting a bunch of annoying shit, forget that. I’ll update it with what I’m up to if I want other people to join me, but otherwise it will be ignored.

And it will certainly stay the fuck away from my Tumblr feed.
