My hate for Twitter is growing. It’s recently subsided following a lamer purge with me removing people like @bobbyllew (his idiocy has pretty much ruined the Kryten character for me), @stephenfry, @wossy and so on. The daily minutiae of these people really don’t concern me, and once the novelty factor has worn off it’s just grating to see the dullness that they post about. Of course, what I tweet is probably just as boring to most.
Anyway, some of the ’services’ that are popping up just seem beyond ridiculous. I don’t understand ‘news site’ updates (surely that’s what RSS is for?), ‘radio station’ spammers, and so on but this one so far is the winner:
@yankcrime Nick, if you need an easy way to be reminded to keep hydrated, why not follow the water sprite and we’ll do it for you.
With a bio of:
When you forget to drink water, we’ll give you a friendly reminder.
Unreal.
