Twit Twat Tweet




Being a media student, I can safely say I am pretty well-versed in the study of new media… these would include internet fads such as Facebook, Youtube, blabhlabhlabhlab and of course the most redundant of all, Twitter.

You might think, ‘well you dick I know those too, I don’t need to be a media student to know that ya?’

Then re-read my opener.

I *study* these new media

I’m skipping the dry knowledge and all because it would bore people but take my word when I say it, Twitter is bullshit.


Its fucking amazing that so many people caught on to it. Humankind is catching up to new boundaries of stupidity.

 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What is Twitter anyway?
Ans: It’s a social networking site which utilises short word relays to broadcast messages. For example, you could post a short string of words to convey a certain mood, emotion or perhaps describe the setting/environment you are in etc.

(but wait, isn’t that what the Facebook status is for?)

words of wisdom from the almighty


Why is the mascot of Twitter a Bluebird?
Ans: In Mandarin, it’s pronounced as ‘Lan Niao’. A direct conversion to Hokkien would yield ‘Lan Jiao’. Suddenly Twitter sounds very unflattering eh?


Damn… these Twitter founders sure are adept in the art of subtlety!


Why do people use Twitter?
Ans: Similiary why do people watch Glee or why do people buy iPhones? It’s called following the crowd. A scientific term for this occurrence is known as ‘The Bandwagon Effect’.


 -------------------------------------------------------------------------


Why is Twitter’s existence Ironic?

For your Twitter to be considered effective, you need to have followers (quite a substantial amount).

If you have a substantial amount of followers, you can be deemed ‘famous’.
(yes, famous can be used here in a very loosely defined context)

What do ‘famous’ people always bitch about?

“GOD DAMN IT, LEAVE ME ALONE ASSWIPES” --> directed at nosy reporters

he is Mel Gibson btw, not Saddam Hussein

THIS IS SADDAM

goddamn it they fucking look alike



“YOU POINT THAT CAMERA AT ME ONCE MORE AND I WILL SHOVE IT UP YOUR CANDY ASS”   
--> directed at nosy reporters


“IT’S MY PERSONAL LIFE, PLEASE RESPECT MY PRIVACY”--> directed at nosy reporters

“ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, I HAVE HAD IT WITH THESE MOTHERFUCKING SNAKES ON THIS MOTHERFUCKING PLANE!!!” --> directed at snakes


Ok in short, life is a vicious cycle. When you are poor, lonely and unsecured, you wish for money, fame and power.

When you obtain those, you then find a way to secure them.
The way of securing those goodies is simply… well… via Privacy

But then you can’t have your privacy and remain famous at the same time.
Best of both worlds? Not a chance.

No amount of money will stop people from scrutinizing your life.
Ask Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak or Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo if you are unconvinced.

yup they wanna know everything abt him

Well who asked you to be earning millions in small change, who asked you to have legions of fans clamouring at your feet?

 -----------------------------------------------------------------------

But Sam, Twitter is not just for famous people right? Even if I am not famous, I can still Twit!!!
Ans: Of course you can genius, just that nobody gives a shit? Yup the paradoxical existence that is Twitter.



Ok honestly, there must be some use for Twitter true?
Ans: Definitely! Let me list them out for your convenience.

1.     Attention wh**e (this is the most crucial factor affecting 99.9% of Twitterers, they just CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF ATTENTION)

2.     If you can utilize this attention for commercial purposes eg- to market yourself, to market products, you’re in the photojournalism line, to egg people to watch your new movie etc.   Fair enough! If you can convert the crowd’s support and attention to $$$, you have succeeded at least in sanity’s point of view.

3.     You are bored… and I mean really really fucking bored! You need some avenues to relieve stress and Twitting fills this gap. I don’t know, maybe you get your kicks from stalking people on Twitter or something?

4.     Your immediate circle of friends lack communicative devices/mediums like handphones, home-lines, emails etc. and you can ONLY REACH THEM THROUGH TWITTER! For this method to work, that particular group of friends have to ALL BE USING TWITTER AS WELL. And if your closest group of friends communicate via Twitter, sadly bro/sis, you have failed in life. You need new friends, or perhaps a new country. (Yes I’m sure you’ve all heard the excuses friends give for using Twitter- ‘Eh Twitter easier leh, I just Twit, they all know where I’m going then can meet direct blahblabblah, save time save sms’.)

5.     You don’t have Whatsapp, neither do you have MSN.


You have to note that no matter how advanced technology is, the underlying purpose of communications is still about building and maintaining human relations. For that I believe the most effective and sincere method of communications to be a face to face conversation. That beats Twit2Face conversations ANYDAY ANYTIME.
