Twitter WTF?!

[Kai]

Recently, I had a conversation with someone about e-book readers, that Kindle wasn't the best choice due to no personal upload ability and no ability to actually KEEP what you purchase, if Amazon decides to take it away; that a sony reader was a better choice. He immediately asked me if I read Google's blog, because he just heard the same thing last week from there. I said no...and now, I wish I would have reacted with horror. I had turned into an opinionated soundbite rather than a means of real conversation. I'd rather make my manner of communicating as convoluted as possible than I would descend into speaking short opinions all the time. I don't want to have an opinion any more, everybody's got them, and they're all bullshit, including my current ones. I'd rather eschew all but those necessary for principle, so I can really communicate with people, rather than playing a subconscious game of dominance, who's smarter than/knows more than/more widely read/more experienced than whom. Because of this, twitter is to be avoided.

Right now I'm reminded of several new personal boundaries I've been making, so I can control the terms of interaction and avoid "twitteality".

Um, no offence intended?   

None taken.

I disagree; I haven't paid for a book yet, I have uploaded plenty of the PD.com's PDFs, and all files are on my desktop as well as in the Kindle.
