I Finally Give In To Twitter …
I’ve been avoiding getting onto Twitter for a long time now hoping to maintain one last bastion of sanity in my wired world. My colleague Aalaap, a ‘Twittervangelist’ of sorts, recently conducted a “Why Are You Not On Twitter?” session at BarCamp Mumbai and even that didnt shake my inertia though it got me teetering on the brink!
It was this news item about Twitter coming to an arrested journalist’s rescue in Egypt, that finally had me convinced. I’m now well and truly on my way to a Twittered existence. Of course, I realised how “behind the curve” I was when, promptly, the very day after I siged up, TechCrunch officially declared the Web 3.0 manifesto - less Twitter, more peace!

Well, well, well…. another one sacrifices privacy in the name of web 2.0! I’m telling you, this web 2.0 business is a time-bomb ticking away, all ready to blow up in the form of privacy infringement litigations 10 years down the line when the teens of today realise that everything, and I mean _everything_ (right down to the date they first hit puberty) is just a click away. T&Cs you say? Who reads those?
Pretty soon its gonna look like the holocaust litigation onslaught… In all honesty, even the genocide at its time seemed like a good idea to a few, didn’t it?!
P.S. I bit that bullet a while back
