Irrelevant David Feng Tech Banter: Of Twitter, Scoble and Subways
I’m probably more known for my Subway fetish than any real tech expertise, so I’ll probably blog about this in Subway mode. But this morning, a Best of FriendFeed post came across to my inbox — and it had Scoble wishing — less-than-well, shall we say, about Twitter.
This is the kind of stuff that keeps me up late at night. In Subway-ese, it’s like you just got off an old train and not only do you not thank it for taking you from A to B, but you kick the thing. It’s tragic behavior.
I’ve heard about Twitter way before FriendFeed or even Scoble (as in I heard about Twitter first before hearing of the Scobleizer). I don’t really have an idea what this enmity towards Twitter is all about. Sure, there are spammers, but just block ‘em en masse — no harm done.
Meanwhile, Scoble kicking the old Twitter train is something I’m not really up for. Sure, no service is perfect. But didn’t you like start off with Twitter or somesuch? Why kick an old train when it at least served you? It may have no aircon but at least it’s not totally useless or something…
