think (twice)

think before you talk. but nowadays, i prefer 'think before you tweet'.

twitter offers a social networking and microblogging service for its users, and it's became a public sphere, where people openly and freely share their ideas, thoughts about current issues.

the thing is, everything that you tweeted, it's been published to your timeline, and (at least) your followers can read them easily. so, it's OK for me if you want to fill your twitter page with curses, complaints, whines, lovey-dovey things, i've grown accustomed to it. but if someone posted something stupid that i count as a sensation, that's intolerable. please, if you need any attention, don't tweet something that makes you look like a dumbo, tweet it in a classy way, wordplay. people noticed it, mate. don't fake it. don't exaggerate your life. it's uncanny to read some tweets that i prefer as a fake 'suicide announcement'. what do you expect from your followers?? 911? 112? and they would think that it's a kind of joke.!

aah, i miss the time when privacy is an essential aspect for human.
