Net Voyeurism
My friends (and almost everyone) likes to text me (or almost everyone, again) "musta?" or "gawa mo?". We (youthful) Filipinos really have this obsession of knowing what the other is doing (or we're just feeling a bit lonely so we find excuse to make contact). I have found the perfect answer to this Filipino obsession - Twitter.
What is it?
Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing? Bloggers can use it as a mini-blogging tool. Developers can use the API to make Twitter tools of their own. Possibilities are endless!
[via Twitter FAQ]
Unfortunately, I was only able to find a handful of people I know who uses Twitter. It would have been nice if I can get to follow (and be followed) by more people. I'm an active net citizen so it can help in my e-governance. But at the end of the day, I'm simply a net voyeur (and exhibitionist).
