Twitter Is Not Micro

Twitter.

…Image via CrunchBaseTake the links away, and Twitter is not going to be fun no more, at least not for me. And I don’t see what’s micro about full blown webpages, news articles, blog posts, pictures, video clips. When I envision a tweet, I don’t envision 140 stale characters. I envision a few words that point me to a weblink, more likely a tiny URL, that I might have the option to click on. That is not to say I don’t enjoy tweets that are all words and no links. I do. But they are in the sea of links. That is why I enjoy them. It takes seconds to skim through an all words tweet, and usually another with a link is right below.That is not to say I am a link clicking monster blindly clicking the links away. I pick and choose. But then that is why you carefully choose to follow people. Your library of Twitter contacts should be such that whenever you jump into your stream you find at least a few links to click on. I find that every single time. So when I go online, of all the places I could go to, Twitter ends up…

In this Sunday’s New York Times, reporter Brian Stelter outlines his using Twitter as a tool for weight loss by setting up a @brianstelter25 account for his progress and tweeting out his exercise plan and meals. He ends up losing 75 pounds.

…High-profile tech podcaster Leo Laporte has had it with social media, it seems.
In a blog post, the influential broadcaster behind the TWiT network of podcasts says that after four years of social media activity he has become disillusioned with services like Twitter, Google Buzz and FriendFeed.
The cause of this change of heart is Google Buzz. Laporte has been one of Buzz’s most high-profile advocates. He has often spoken about his love for Google’s social platform on his podcasts, long after the novelty wore off for others. However, he recently discovered that a glitch with Buzz meant that everything he had posted there since 6 August hadn’t been seen by anyone, and seemingly no-one noticed.
Rather than just quit Buzz, he seems to have a downer on social media as a whole.
It makes me feel like everything…
