"Twitter Jumped the Shark This Week"

"Twitter Jumped the Shark This Week" article summary

This article from the Daily Beast discusses the downsides of Twitter. Along with the author as well as other Twitter critics, I sometimes wonder when people became such exhibitionists. Social media provides many wonderful ways for people to communicate, but how far does the micro-blogging go?

I think Twitter is really valuable for breaking down the walls that exist within certain industries. For example, I can follow my favorite journalists or actors and see what they're up to, which is really fun. But I don't like everybody knowing what's going on with me every second of the day.
