Am I the only one here who's "just not that into" Twitter?

59. I, too, established a Twitter account when Keith Olbermann...

...departed from the TV waves, but I don't think I looked at it more than once. I wouldn't know how to find it now.

I have a Facebook account, but next to never look at it, let alone add anything to it.

I find much of what I have seen on both Facebook and Twitter incredibly pedestrian. "Out to lunch." Not, "Out to the best damn lunch ever had." OK - big whoop. I fully expect to see someone addicted to over sharing post something along the line of "Taking a leak."

Speaking of Facebook, I had a distinctly uncomfortable experience there a couple of days ago. I got an e-mail notification that one of my very closest friends from 3rd grade thru high school posted an update to her account. I took a look, and then scrolled back thru some older messages. i didn't get to far before I came across some hard right wing posts featuring a cartoon called LIBTARDS, featuring the Lucy and Linus characters. There were assorted other posts of a similar nature. I wondered how my friend would feel if she knew she were talking about me. We live 700 miles apart, so I will likely not be seeing her any time soon

I realize, of course, that here at DU we make some very critical and unflattering statements about many segments of the opposition. We do so on a message board that is clear about its political/philosophical leanings. I would never say some of the things I might say here on a forum like Facebook. Maybe that is cowardice, maybe is it being disingenuous, or maybe it is just good manners as I have no need to be deliberately provocative in a place frequented by the general public.
