Twittering Boredom

waiting for the meeting

So there’s this aquaintance I follow on Twitter. Actually I’m not completely sure I’ve ever met her. But that’s beside the point. She likes to tweet incredibly boring status updates. Like “waiting for meeting to start”, “meeting ended”, “driving to meeting”. And I’ve realized that it’s somewhat contagious.

Much like that good friend you have, whose stories of drunken debauchery makes you feel like your own life is somehow less boring. Reading these tweets makes me feel like my life is somehow more boring. Does anyone else have this problem?

Sounds like the reason I don’t twitter. My tweets would be pretty uneventful…

I find I use it more like really, really asynchronous IM. Kind of joke with my friends, or comment on a link they sent out, that sort of thing. I try not to do the “I’m currently sitting here, doing nothing” tweet.
