I don’t know about you guys, but I think Twitter is a wee bit crowded these days. Remember the days where NO ONE had over 10,000 followers? Or when we all weren’t drowning in a sea of spammers?

Lately, I’ve been seeing people posting in their facebook status “Follow me on twitter.com/sceneusername”. These are the same people up until recently were still stuck on their myspace account in 2005, and the same ones who post pictures of themselves getting drunk every weekend. Granted, not all of them are. But mostly.

I consider Twitter to be a confluence of knowledge and resources. It was an excellent way for me to connect with people in Chicago when I moved here. If I have a question and post it on twitter, I know I’ll get a reply. It’s not just about how I use it either. How many people use twitter as part of their job?

We can thank all the celebrities adopting twitter for the sudden popularity. Does anyone else find this annoying as I do? If I wanted to know the goings on in a celebrity’s life, I’d just go to PerezHilton to read about it (which I do). Celebrities and the riff raff of myspace have no idea that Twitter is supposed to be a community. It is a place for people to share ideas and communicate with one another. It seems like those days are starting to fade. It is a sad day when you begin to realize Twitter is the new Myspace.

Can the nerds/geeks/bloggers have our little piece of the internet back?!
