In my attempt to become reconnected with the digital world I signed up for the ever popular "Twitter".If you haven't heard of Twitter, it's a Facebook like website. Except the only thing that you do with this website is update your status.
At first glance, I thought it was a tad narcissistic. Constantly updating people on your every mood. Kind of pathetic.
I became fully annoyed with Twitter when last month Demi Moore, the actress from such thought provoking films as Striptease, GI Jane and The Scarlet Letter, apparently saved a suicidal woman via Twitter.
Twitter? Seriously? I think we need to calm down here. Demi Moore, while I'm sure she is dedicated to her craft, is no suicide interventionist. And while it is honorable to suggest someone "get some help", that hardly qualifies you for a Nobel Peace Prize.
The most irritating piece about this was where I read this story. On CNN's website.
Yes, I know CNN is not exactly the a fountain of thought provoking headlines, but I do find my way to their website from time to time.
Anyway, after falling out of love with Twitter, I am now back.
So if you're on Twitter, I'm Jessie000.
I'll be putting up my own narcissitic musings on exactly what I'm doing at the moment, and I hope you find it as interesting as all of my followers (yes, followers).
