Twitter: Redundant for the FaceBook Status Application

I'm sorry. I just don't get it.



What is the difference between Twitter and the FaceBook Status application? And, why didn't I think of something so simple?

FaceBook: "What are you up to?"

Twitter: "What are you doing?"



Really. If you are on FaceBook (I will spare y'all the FaceSpace Nation reference in this post), you most likely have some type of smart phone that allows you to download the mobile application. Thus, if you are one of those people that has to use Twitter every 5 seconds to update what you are doing, you are probably the same person that has to update his/her status on FaceBook from his/her phone. Why would you need both? And, how did Twitter take off despite its redundant nature. I mean---that's all you needed to make a fortune? It's like the pet rock.

I feel like Bryan Flannigan in Cocktail when he finds out Doug married the wealthy girl (also the hot doctor-girlfriend of Dalton (Patrick Swayze) in "Roadhouse") and can't find his "flooglebinder" to make him rich.

Twitter is the Status Update on FaceBook----just broken out into its own world.

BTW--those of you that update your life every 1o minutes--either via Twitter or FaceBook--- need to get one.

Steve is late. Maybe you wouldn't be late if you would get off of FaceBook or Twitter.

Joe is updating his status on FaceBook and/or Twittering right now. Ha. Witty.

John is at work. Obviously NOT working.

Susie is bored. See getting a life described above.

Sandra has the best boyfriend ever. You are probably single and he is make-believe.

Nick's girlfriend is the bomb. And requires air.


Are people that starved for attention that they have to show the world every aspect of their lives? Do we have so little attention span that we are enthralled by something so simple and shallow? Just my thoughts.



Although, I have this blog. Pot or Kettle?
