They Living Their Life On Twitter and Facebook

Twitter and Facebook are becoming so much a part of our online lives that many people live their personal lives online.  They tell everything about themselves, things that often fall into the category of TMI {Too Much Information}.   Some people just have no shame!  Just yesterday I  was reading online that a certain R&B singer accused Alicia Keys of breaking up her marriage.  This singer went on a long tirade as well as a back and forth tweet debate with SwizzBeatz of how he was unfaithful during their marriage.  She alleged he cheated on her with superstar Keys.  I cracked up at that one.

Then of course, there is the Chris Brown meltdown.  Even CNN reported that one.  Apparently, Chris Brown walks into a Connecticut Wal-Mart and discovers his latest CD is not being sold there.  Its unclear what Brown said or did in Wal-Mart, but on Twitter, he shared his disappointment, anger and other adjectives to all who would read them.  It was so much that the mainstream media picked it up and made a news story out of it.  The mere fact that the mainstream media is now looking at the internet for their stories is so, wrong.   Now the media is reporting that Brown is hanging out with strippers.  Ok, can’t sell records, just get publicity from social networks.  Shouldn’t it be the other way around?

Maybe because celebrities share their most intimate portions of their lives on Twitter and Facebook, that everyday people have decided to do the same thing.  Here are some real live tweets from real live people on Twitter:

“i cant sleep without my stinky pillow(it dont stink thats just the name) nd every1 hates it”

“i am currently stretching idk why”

and this one:

“If it’s any police on twitter, that last tweet was total bulshyt. I don’t know nothing about any weed in glass. Matter of fact, what’s weed.”

Living your life on Twitter is not good.  OH, and Facebook is not any better.  Just this morning, I received an instant message from someone asking me could he call me.  I don’t know this man, never saw him in a month of Sundays, yet he is relentless, sending me his telephone number and telling me “because you’re pretty.”  To me, this guy sounds like a character that Dexter should take care of.  First of all he fits the profile.  He’s a single man, and is a trucker.  Somebody get Dexter on the phone, I need him to take care of someone right now.  I don’t mind the compliment, but he was very aggressive.

Living your life out loud on Twitter and Facebook can be dangerous.  It may give a potential employer reason not to want to be your employer.  It also will determine if I agree to become your friend on Facebook or your follower on Twitter.  Usually, if you cuss too much on either Twitter or Facebook , I will delete you.  I don’t feel the need to read how you do this to someone in bed, or how you don’t.  All it shows is your ignorance, same as in real life.  If we meet and your sentences are punctuated with curse words, I will excuse myself from your presence or ask you to leave mine.  Twitter and Facebook should be fun, yet not too personal.  For the most part, I don’t want to know people like that.

If you have a stinky bear, I don’t want to hear about it; when your toes curl up, keep it to yourself.
