The Notweet (One week without Twitter (II))
It turned out to be easier than I expected: I did not twitter for one week.
Here’s my protocol of not twittering in max 140chars per day.
Monday: Switched off IM notifications. 2 new followers. Not removing the mail notification.
Tuesday: Missing twitter when using public transport. Passive consumption, 2x.
Wednesday: Following a scene I would have twittered. But I did not do it.
Thursday: Taking a look at other ppl tweets due to may 1st clashes in Hamburg.
Friday: Being contacted by new people on skype. Didn’t happen for weeks.
Saturday: Switching off the laptop. Switched off my mobile, too.
Sunday: Switched on my mobile, again. Returning to twitter in the evening.
Twitter is a nice-to-have and very addictive platform. Since it’s available wherever you are (except some places without mobile connection), you are automatically trying to migrate as much of your communication as possible to this platform. Twitter is some relaxed chatterbox-tool, it’s something inbetween TV (you still remember? yer not young anymore…) with all it’s real life soap operas, and corridor talks with colleagues. Nice to have, but nonethelesse, it’s still dispensable.
