For myself, it allows me to keep up to date with family and friends around the world, be able to get instant reaction to events, whether sports/news, find out info quicker etc etc
That’s my point though – I don’t want or need to know those instant updates from sports people or news events, and if I do, I have a radio, TV, the BBC website…..things that I opt to use, and update myself on.
As for instant updates from friends and family, words fail me. Do I really need to know that my brother’s just fitted a shower? Do I really think that he’d tweet about it?
As a follower of F1, I want to see a balanced summary of a test session, rather than Lee Mackenzie tweeting “Lee McKenzie ? @LeeMcKenzieF1 Close
I work closely with @HorseCharity World Horse Welfare. Always very sad to hear horses dying in any equestrian genre.”
Brilliant. Thanks Lee. You like horses, but why the f*** do you feel the need to comment pointlessly on something that you have no professional interest in, nor can in any way impact. At least you managed to take up a few seconds of time to make yourself feel better though, and that’s the main thing, isn’t it? Just next time, keep it to yourself.
