I think in a lot of cases it is narcissistic, and in a lot of other cases it just appears so because of its one-way nature and the pressure to tweet regularly, resulting in acutely mundane content. I think digital communication has been immensely beneficial, to the point where I can't imagine living without my mobile or email, but I think Twitter takes it one step too far into the realms of unnecessary and over-exposure. I can now quite happily quit, knowing that I'm not missing out on anything. I joined Twitter a couple of months ago, and I’ve already had enough.

In fact I think it would be interesting to follow a person completely minute by minute through a day. Including all (or most) thoughts and conversations, bathroom breaks, deciding what and why to wear, walking to work, meetings, boredom during meetings, etc. I had a bagel and some orange juice...

They are the narcissists. They want to squash our twitter-verse because they do not feel as though there is room for them in the twitter inn.

I thought about it for a moment and concluded that he puts the same type or messages on Twitter that I do. It' great to have friends. Seriously I see Twitter as just another tool to keep in touch with those I would not normally do so with.
