John Chow annoys the hell out of me @ Twitter

Every day I make it known to the world that I am proud of the fact that I love blogging more than Twitter. Sure, microblogging is great, microblogging is wonderful, but I fail to see what’s so superior about it. The fact that the Times magazine featured Twitter on the front cover does not faze me in the least.

This is how I use Twitter:
1. Login and check the Twits
2. Then check the twits who Twit (there IS a difference, see?)
3. Laugh at Twits
4. Log off Twitter

Of course, Twitter is not all that bad. I have picked up some good Internet marketing tips off it. Sometimes I find gems from @Problogger Darren Rowse but there are people who annoy me no end with their IM spiels. I mean, won’t it be nice to Twit about amusing or mundane things once in a while? Have they nothing except ideas about “how to make money online” in their heads?

Take this dude who calls himself @EmailCopywriter for example. NOTHING remotely amusing or appealing came from him, nothing but boring quotes that didn’t come from him. By Jove, can you be more original once in a while? That’s not too much to ask for, is it?

Then there’s @JohnChow. Sure he makes big bucks blogging but his bloody grin annoys me no end. If you want to ask me what does his grin gotta do with Twitter or the fact that I am ranting about all this… DON’T. I’m on a rampage, enough said.

I feel so much better after all this bitching.

PS: Although I am NOT very fond of Twitter but I do appreciate the innovative apps that come out regularly. Here’s Tweetboard, thanks to Techcrunch for the heads-up.
