I think Twitter is a passive aggressives' paradise.....

You are supposed to use it to participate in discussions, offer opinions, even to promote yourself right? I've noticed a nasty little trend as of late, people block you or unfollow you when you do these very things? Really? You can't take a little disagreement on your weak opinion? Seriously, you don't like it when ARTISTS post up art they want to share or sell? You don't want to be bothered with anyone else' opinions on anything? I've begun to feel like if you are dropping followers on twitter than you must be doing something right....Some people are only there just to hear themselves tweet, I swear it's true. Please don't intrude upon my Twitter kingdowm, I'm having my ego stroked here....I've been spending far less time there simply because the opinions I'm reading are are almost pointless and these folks have like a million followers. I mean you either get the sheep, if you are known for something on Twitter or the impossible people, if you are an everyday person? Take your pick. There is definitely a paradigm forming up over there and personally I think it's just becoming a lame place to spend time. I've found artist groups on facebook and other places where like minded people go to comment on and inspire each other with work, and they are really positive and great places to spend time. If your curious, email me and ask and I'll tell you where they are. Unless Twitter gets this whole negativity and narcissism thing turned around I bet a lot more folks than I will be spending less and less time there. Remember what happened to Myspace years ago? It went lame past the point of no return and everyone just abandoned it overnight. I guess we'll see. D
