I just twoted all over the place...

Enough is enough...

Back in January 08 I had a few words to say about the likes of Twitter and those who use it and similar micro-blogging tools.
Well, I have to say, my stance on these hasn't changed. In fact, I think my hatred of Twitter et al has actually deepened, with the news that UK politicians are now signing up for Twitter accounts, in order for us to see what they are wasting their time doing.
While the uptake on Twitter accounts is low (only 35 use it so far, 1 in 18 MPs) there is a site where you can read all their collective daily "Tweets" together - http://tweetminster.co.uk/
One Labour MP tweets so much I wonder if he gets any work done? Tom Watson [Lab] - West Bromwich East (1750).

More and more people are seeing the need to share the drudgery of their everyday lives, and maybe my voice is alone in the wilderness of internetwebland, so I will just have to tut and roll my eyes in frustration.
And live on in the hope that Twitter hurries up and dies...

On a side note, I did have a chuckle at the 'news' that Twitter were going to launch 'premium accounts' - Twitter Unveils New Premium Accounts - I watched in some amusement as the Twitterers "retweeted" this around the 'net (or the "Twittersphere", as they have named their corner of the 'net' ).

Many were completely fooled by this satire and I expect some were getting quite excited at the thought of having more than 140 characters to spell out their activities with.
100 pages of search results exist for "Twitter Unveils New Premium Accounts" and I suspect there would be more but it appears Twitter won't show up any more than 100 pages!!!

And still they post 'tweets' on it - 3 days after the piece was published!!!

A great joke on the Twitter users - but I wonder if it will backfire on the author when Twitter does introduce 'premium' accounts...

...and will he be offered a "secret "Black" account"?...

Oops...

iWhat?
I wonder if anyone at Apple realised that this App Store application spelt out a rude word?
Apple is being a little odd with some of the apps it is approving or not approving on grounds of 'taste' so I wonder if this app logo slipped past those responsible?...
