still angry. RE twitter.

ok.

i fucking HATE twitter. i hate library 2.0. i think it's bullshit. i think this idea that twitter can be used to genuinely engage people during a conference is bullshit. people, fucking read through the tweets. people are just whispering to each other. it's just passing fucking notes in class. we are NOT engaging in ideas. we are NOT developing a polemic. we are fucking just passing a few meaningless words across to each other. here's a phrase - they mentioned lego! here's a phrase! it's about second life and i don't care. here's a few words! we are not investigating or interrogating or even discussing, we are just noting that we can hear it. this is bullshit. surely i am not the only one who can see this, right? i'm not engaging in this just for the sake of it. i'll take notes, reflect, and write them up. i'll engage with the ideas presented. but i'm not flickering a few mindless words that come to mind and i send on my phone to a general area for others to read because it seems like the bullshit 2.0 thing to do. it's not a meeting place, its semantics, it's a joke, it's doing something because it seems so HIP without realising what a fucking ridiculous pointless thing it is. as the ABC guy said, for news, it's awesome.

but it's not breaking news. it's a fucking conference. the notes are going to be online in a few hours anyway. there is NO point to tweeting that i can see, really.

plus, i hate seeing scattered interactions there. i hate this. you fucked up my life, e, i hope you can see exactly how much. you made my workplace, my FAVOURITE place in in canberra, a miserable, horrible reminder of how less awesome i was than someone you said you didn't even LIKE. i feel sick every morning walking in there. i hate it. you've made me utterly miserable, and i hope you are happy. i hope you are happy.
