A Day Without Twitter

Like how our mobile phones have become part of our daily life, Twitter has become a part of mine. A day without Twitter or less than 5 logins to it feels as if I’ve lost a connection in my life. It’s as if I’ve been disconnected from the world of:

Website design

What are the cool websites colleagues and friends of mine are talking about? I can’t share with them the websites which I’ve found inspiring and aspiring. No longer can I reach out to more likely designers interested in website design to expand their horizons of what really makes a good website design.

Internet development

What’s new? What’s hip? Who bought whom? My main resources for this is currently Mashable and I rarely visit their website. Instead, I lazily follow them on Twitter for the juicy updates.

Marketing

If there’s one thing I love about marketing is it comes with a twist. At least, that’s what I personally feel marketing needs in every idea we want to push into people’s minds. :)

But yes, I need my dose of viral guerilla marketing tactics damnit!

Friends

Indeed, Twitter isn’t an instant messenger (IM) but it’s still a communication platform nonetheless. If your car broke down or if you got stuck in the house, you’d either update your Twitter or Facebook. That’s before you think about calling the police. Seriously, some girls updated their Facebook first when trapped in storm drain then dialing for help.

I guess that’s how great technology manifests in our fast-moving life now. Even if we wanted a couple more seconds, we don’t have the luxury as everything and everyone wants to stay connected.

So, how has your day without Twitter been?
