Is it just me, or is the Top 50 Tweeples to watch just stupid?
By Robin on Oct 13, 2008 in twitter | Comments
Last week’s survey and “award” of the Top 50 Tweeples to follow of 2008 strikes me as ridiculous. Other than being another opportunity for egos to promote themselves (similar to the “vote for my SXSW session” of a few months ago), why is there any inherent value in following these people? If I don’t care about Web 2.0 technologies, why do I care to follow people who tweet about that? Why is the twitterverse getting so full of itself?
Don’t get me wrong. I like Twitter, I use Twitter, I teach others about Twitter — heck, I write about Twitter. I think its fun and useful.
This is just some kind of weird popularity contest, along the lines of People Magazine, some kind of microcosm Hot-or-Not for the inside twitter crowd. Ick.
