Twitter is a nice social networking for those who follow interesting tweeters, but is a boring social networking for those who don’t follow interesting tweeters and who don’t know what the fuss is all about.

I’ve been thinking about these things lately:
- Why are you following those people?
- What do you expect from their tweets?

And also about:
- Why are they following you?
- What do they expect from your tweets?

These are my big questions. I like funny tweets that are not being forced to look so funny. I also need some informations from internet, so I add funny tweeters and geeks on my followings list. For this reason I still exist on twitter and oh, I tweet daily!

But why are you following people? What’s your reason? Oftenly, people follow other people because of these things:
- They are following them
- They are their friends
But they don’t care about the contain of their tweets. Do they? Hell, I don’t know! That’s why I ask you why you’re following people.

For those Indonesian tweeters: you still remember about #rana, who became a trending topic, right? She told you that BB [read: Blackberry] users are alay. But are they really…alay? What did she actually mean? And why are those BB users mad when she spoke her mind out like this? She told:
- Whenever they feel bored, they tweet it
- Whenever they feel down, they tweet it
- When they just woke up, they tweet it
- When they’re going to sleep, they tweet it
- Whenever they want to take shower, they even tweet it
- Whenever they want to eat, they tweet it
- Whenever they want to drink something, they tweet it
These things make me think like,”is it so important to tell tweeters that you feel bored, down, just woke up, are going to sleep, take shower, eat, drink, etc? Is it…important?”

I am not going to say that BB users are alay, nope, they aren’t! But the girl who said this is a high school student who sees it from people around her who are teenagers and I can understand why she told it. But then again, I don’t live in Indonesia and I don’t really have a clue about the situation around teenagers there. I only heard from people around about teenagers having blackberry and only use it to update status on facebook and twitter. I’m sorry for those sensitive BB users who got mad because of this opinion of her. For me, those kind of tweets are boring and too much information! I meant, why do I have to know when you’re taking food, when you’re drinking, feeling bored, etc? IF you get mad because of this, do you think I care?

“But, twitter is a social networking to tell people what you’re currently doing!” I hear you telling me like this.

Alright, you’re right! But since I joined Twitter on 07/07/07, I have seen enough tweets about what the people I’m following are doing, also useful tweets of them about good links, reads, and jokes. Afterall, twitter isn’t about what you are doing anymore, but about what you share to your followers. Am I right? Unless you’re a celebrity and your fans want to know what you are doing every detail, you can tweet about the single thing you’re doing. But I still think you don’t need to, and I still think that other people don’t have to know every single thing you do every day.

For those whom I’m following, I follow you because of these reasons:
- Your tweets are funny/interesting
- Although you might have tweeted about what you’re doing, you also tweet about interesting things like: links, photos, etc and I really want to know what you do every day
I am not a followwhore, I don’t always follow my followers back because not all of my followers tweet about the interesting stuff. At least, not interesting enough for me.

But now, this question can be directed to me also, why are you following me? I always think that my tweets contain awful things! :D I only like to tweet about what I’m currently thinking of, I can be rude but I don’t really care, but my complicated mind makes me laugh at my own tweets….narcist? LOL

Afterall I wanna say I’m sorry for those who are unfollowed by me, your daily tweets are just not something I want to read. But I have made lists special for you all, I’m still reading your tweets, I just sorted this out. Sorting tweets that really are worth reading for me. From this entry you’ll probably start thinking which tweets are worth reading for you, if mine is not worth reading, feel free to unfollow me, honesty is gold ;-)

And oh, the latest entry on Maxvoltar is true!

If someone isn’t worth following on Twitter, don’t follow him. No matter how much exposure that certain person has, or how good of a friend he is.
