Ha! I’d forgotten this thread. I’d like to correct a misapprehension of Cougar’s if I may:
There’s more on Twitter like that, with an obssive need to tell everyone about every inconsequential, minute, useless piece of crap about their miserable lives.
You follow nine people, none of whom you know personally. How are you in a position to make that statement?
Strange that I follow twenty times that number, a mix of friends and ‘famous’ people, and none of them fit that stereotype.
I don’t actually follow nine, there are more than that, and all those I follow are those who have interesting, meaningful or fun things to say, like SuperStripers. I do, however, check out all sorts of random postings by others who are followers, etc, and a great many post up stuff that’s just drivel, meaningless and inconsequential. Which is fine, but some of those seem to have a great many followers, which I find baffling.
But I guess they’re like fans of the likes of a lot of modern ‘comedians’, the popularity of whom I find equally baffling.
Fb, is exactly the same, there are certain of my friends (by which I mean those i know personally) on there who post up day-to-day stuff that is just utterly un-interesting, but hey, I just ignore it.
Those I ‘Follow’ or ‘Like’, just like you, are all, people who do interesting things and have interesting things to say, with one or two exceptions, but those are very close friends of many years standing, and who I like to keep up with because they’re close, very personal friends, so I cut them some slack! 😀
