Ah the bird…
Glorious.
Magnificent.
Beautiful.
Insightful.
Spamming.
Other Things.

Of course, we all think of different things when we hear those magnificent words, some think of something like a falcon or sparrow. Others think of the awesome flipping bird. (click here for a very funny {but explicit} video about the bird, and how to flip it {again, it’s explicit})
Still others think of the chirp, or more specifically, the TWEET of a bird (I’m referring to twitter). It happens to be that these people know of a great evil, a looming presence of doom, of technology, of constantly blocked up servers, of strange spammers that follow you, of @squarespace.
Yes it’s true. There is a great evil lurking in the depths of the clogged twitter servers. @jluebbert said that “it’s amazing how everyone who usually hates spam completely sells out just for an iphone” but then procedes to sell his soul for the promised iPhone soon there after.

For those of you who are too lame to have a twitter, actually have a twitter but don’t use it, are anti-twitter, or just have no idea what I could possibly be talking about, let’s start from the very begining….

It was on some day this past month that the large webhost Squarespace.com decided to give out 30 iphones in 30 days to 30 people over twitter. The catch? You must include #squarespace in a tweet to be entered.

So I did. I tweeted (tweeted? or twote?). 14 tweets and 3 days later, no iPhone. Thanks for nothing, squarespace. I send in such creative 140 character tweets playing off of the Oscar Meyer b-o-l-o-g-n-a song, pleading them, even trying to bargin with them. But no. Instead some guy who enters once with a crappy entry wins. yeah. I know. All my hard work for nothing.

But the thing is, I have spent too much time on it. I’m pretty sure it’s a marketing ploy by twitter to try and over crowd their servers. Because honestly, who actually uses twitter for anything other than news, some random 140 letter comedy spurts, and, of course, contests.
It also could be total bull. I mean seriously, how do they choose the winner? There are way to many people to choose from! I’m now starting to think that these “winners” have already won… hmmm… Perhaps there is no hope for me after all? or maybe there is… yeah I’ll put my money on the fact that it is.

It could, nay, will, happen.

As you may have noticed, I joined twitter, or rather, I rejoined twitter. I feel like I owe you guys an apology for sinking so low as to write my thoughts on a dirty overcrowded server. So follow itsalloso on twitter, networked blogs (keep scrollin’ down), and facebook to make it look like a lot of people care about what I have to say.

Everyone has a facebook nowadays. Everyone also has a twitter. But MySpace, xenga, and other social networking sites are more or less extinct. (MySpace is just for musicians, and every musician has a MySpace). I, however, am going to tell you something that no other person would dare say: Facebook is lame.

Yes, you read it right! That’s right, facebook has, not only become lame, but also lazy, asking US to determine their policies! Checkthisout.

But I suppose I must give you an explanation, no? Here’s my logic:
Twitter=Super known, and therefore no longer cool, creative, and hip. My reason? I saw a dry cleaner’s sign say “we are on twitter!” seriously.
MySpace=Dead. No need to argue my point.
Facebook=Lame: My parents, grandparents, and cousins are all on it. plus, the apps leave a lot to desire. Oh, and Mr. Mark Z (the “founder”) stole the idea from a friend, and only has 700 facebook “friends”.
Other Social Networking=Probably done, I haven’t been asked if I have aBebo, aHi5, or afriendstersince, well, ever.

I guess I’m finished with my ranting now… and don’t worry, even though I think Facebook is lame, I still use it. But not myspace. Or twitter. Or other social networking sites, because I go with the flow.
