Twitter Down Due to DDoS Today
Twitter was down for a few hours earlier today, crippling the world of online single-serving exhibitionism.
I use Twitter myself and I’ve been meaning to use it more often. Though I’ve come to realize that there are really three types of people who use Twitter: People with a genuine passion for writing and journalism. Douchebags with the impulse to narrate every single beat of their mundane lives. And sheeple that sign up because they saw Twitter mentioned on TV but have no idea how to actually use it.
This being the case, I endorse the idea illustrated in the video below. Some people just don’t belong on Twitter and are a waste of bandwidth. Twitter–like blogs–is for people who have something to say. If you really don’t have anything significant to say, you don’t need Twitter.
“Wise men speak because they have something to say. Fools speak because they have to say something.” -Plato
