Twitter and why it's useless

I understand the need for people to receive their information as soon as possible, but some information is frivolous and unneccessary and people feel that they need to post it to the rest of the world. In my opinion social networking sites are useful, but I wouldn't classify Twitter in this category, in fact it's a big waste of time. People feel the need to just post what they are doing constantly on twitter! Why? the answer is beyond me. Updating your life can be done along with a million other things on facebook, so why the need for another Web site to do that in even more detail. It really doesn't add anything to the daily life, or make things easier - other networking sites do, they get people back in contact, help with communication and many other things. Twitter doesn't provide people with anything they don't already have - it even give people the ability to follow others and creep on them too.
Twitter often serves as a worse distraction than social networking sites, people are constantly updating things from the last time they used the bathroom to posting a picture of the hot girl the saw on the beach. Really? Is this the direction we're going in with technology, because it says a lot about us when we care about items that have nothing to do with our daily lives or that won't help us. It's not funny, it's not worth it and people don't need it because they already have something that does that, among other things.

What should I say?

This is my first blog and I am not really sure what to say, so I think I'll talk about what I am going to be doing today. I hate Wednesdays almost as much as Mondays, just because I am stuck in the same old building all day from 9 to 3:30 and there is always more stuff I have to do right after. Today I have to help my video partner film her promo, also I don't get to eat until 8 - I am a sad sad person (sad face) wtf! I stopped typing for like 5 seconds and the thing saved by itself, what if i didn't want this to go up, what if I was bashing someone, now my words are somewhere in cyber space. OMG! it did it again! oh well! I guess I should start expecting crazy things like that to happen, speaking of crazy I just watched Inglorious Bastards, it was awesome especially the whole movie part.
Someone told me a couple of days ago that Perez Hilton, celebrity blogger, is a credible source - this of course after the scandalous web post thing he put up with a girl not wearing pants or something of the sort. But really? Perez Hilton? Credible? hahahahaha he's as a credible as my toe, the smallest piggy! No, but seriously? what made him famous was the load of crap he spews on the internet and celebrities went on the beat or join em trip so he wouldn't comment on them specifically so now he's Christina Aguilera's BFF, I thought she had a little more class, but I guess not. If your blogging about stuff in your life that's good for you, but a blog is not really the first place I would turn to if I wanted to find out about an earthquake and how many people died, so no, Perez Hilton is not a credible source for news, he tries to stretch his 15 minutes of fame by doing dumb ass things on the news but he's not a good source.
