So with the whole having no Facebook for a little bit longer, I solely depend on my other social network site,Twitter, to keep me sane. The jury is still out about trying to see if I can deactivate that next to see how I go without that part of social media,
but for now I am still using it. Twitter, to me, does not create the same accessibility problem
because by wisely choosing the people that I want to follow on there, I am not forced to send messages or anything like that on Twitter opposed to Facebook. Even if I did have an inbox, it would not be that bad because people can
only send 140-character messages. I just find it best not to have an inbox there
at all, so I never need to worry about people expecting me to reply to their
direct messages. A few people that I follow and that follow me back apparently consider it poor Twitter etiquette to
have thousands of followers and not follow anyone back. I don’t lose any sleep
over it. Occasionally
I’ll skim through the public messages that people address to me, especially if
I tweeted a question for feedback purposes, but I normally don’t pay much
attention to the @PBnMelly replies since they’re mostly re-tweets of my own
stuff. So if you tried to get my attention by publicly posting a message to me
on Twitter, there’s a good chance I never saw it.
For now, I am okay using
Twitter for posting broadcast-style messages because Twitter does not force upon
me the scaling headaches that Facebook does.
