Can we please STFU about Twitter

Look – I realize that Twitter is slightly interesting to talk about but is the technology landscape so frikken boring that this inane service is all that we can talk about. With every refresh of my feed reader this past week talk about Twitter; or some stupid ass third party leech, is the main topic of conversation. It’s not just the blogs either – it’s also infecting FriendFeed and of course Twitter itself.

I thought the flood of reminiscence of the year gone by and the inevitable prognostication of the year to come would be boring as hell but damn – I got to the point that they were something to look forward. You know, Om Malik wrote a great post about mediocrity to end of 2008. The only thing missing in the post however was any references to blogging; and I gotta tell ya if all we can talk about is Twitter then we are in serious frikken trouble.

I know that we like to expound non-stop sometimes on various subjects but it seems that once you enter the world of social media everything else other than Twitter isn’t important. It is absolutely amazing that a silly ass communication service with no business plan as of yet has reduced otherwise intelligent people to nothing more than repeater stations for the same old crap.

After all just how many times can you analysis the same old nonsense? It’s not like there is anything new happening with the service. It’s not like it has changed the world anymore since the last disaster. Gawd give me a good old bitchmeme already instead of more Twitter crap. Come on Robert please put your foot in your mouth and save us from boring mediocrity for at least a couple of days.

Surely our lives aren’t that boring that the only thing we can talk about is Twitter. I know I’ve had enough and you won’t be hearing anymore from me about it for at least the rest of the week.

How about you?
