  • In Response to "Twitter Lists: Love It Or Leave It"


     

    I followed a tweet by a fellow Tweeter, RayBeckerman which lead me to GeekSugar's poll asking whether people Love or could Leave Twitter's new feature: Twitter Lists. I immediately spotted that more people said "Leave It" and then looked to see the comments and the 1st one reads:


    “Geeeezzz do we REALLY need another way to communicate with each other???????? Duh don't we have enough? I think it just another reason to change our phones and spend MORE money,and its all for the young comsumers...Stupid as they don't see the REAL picture just yet." - Anonymous

    I made a (very long) comment there that I'd like to elaborate on a little:

    First and foremost, anyone who says that Twitter's new list feature is a "Leave It" or is useless does not understand Twitter. And unless you understand Twitter or plan to find out the network's purpose, you shouldn't even have an account. If you don't want to network, share links, find a job, find a scholarship, build your brand, etc... don't even make the account. There are plenty of other networks for people who don't want to do anything useful!

  • "Rihanna wants you to kill yourself..."




    There's an interesting (or rather petty) fued over Rihanna's new single "Russian Roulette". Somehow it's become a battle between "Good vs. Evil" and my thoughts on it hit someone's nerve.

    Message to me:

    "Are you SURE you are familiar with Tiffany Evans? Or are you just a scorned Rhianna fan? Are you just not inclined to believe that people can telll the truth and be honest? This girl was NOT ranting. She was speaking her mind. How can actively using you first amendment right be considered hating? Its not like her and Rhianna are competing. Becuz Tiffany wouldnt take her clothes off when Rhianna did. She stayed in a childs place. And she was speaking on the industry as a whole in some parts of that. And yes it was written by someone else and could have been a metaphor to the person writing it. But in the art of singing you put your soul into it and it can have adverse affects that shed light on the fact that it wasnt that. Rhianna is a tool and so is a song. Who wants to sing a depressing azz song in times like these when they want to depopulate and people already hate their lives enough to commit suicide? 10 thumbs down for the song!"

    My Response:
    1. I am a fan (or was a fan of) Tiffany Evans as well as Rihanna.

    2. I have no doubt that Tiffany knows the grimey inner-workings of the music industry nor do I deny that she is brave to speak out. However, her issues with the industry should be brought up in another protest; this song has nothing to do with the "evil" she speaks of. She's brought two points forward that when coupled together accuse Rihanna of evil-doing and even "murder". There are far more mass-appealing and socially damaging Rap & R&B songs that Tiffany could have spoken out against this year and she EXCLUDED them. Why? Furthermore, this industry did not SUDDENLY become "evil" and if she cannot deal with it then perhaps she needs to choose another career.

    3. It seems everyone's real problem with Rihanna isn't even the song. They (you) don't like her image, sound, or whatever else... which is your right. But to throw that into an argument about a song and its intentions seems far-fetched.

    4. Have you actually even heard the song? Russian Roulette is a GAME, a game of risk. So let's think about this... what are things in life that are also risky? Love? A Career move? Any major decision? You've never been in a situation where at that moment you didn't think you'd survive? Never had something you had to fight with your own self for? Lucky you.

    Song Lyric: "I know that I must pass this test"...
