Time for some Twitter bashing and coffee

Ranting against those who are not heavy on Web 2.0 thingies such as Twitter, Myspace and others, Decafbad has this to say,

it’s not addressed to you if there’s a buzz and you’re not groking it. That’s a clue that you’re probably missing something.

It is arrogant to say that if one is not enthusiastic about things like Myspace and Twitter, one is missing something.

Why can't this be the other way round?

Maybe it is the case that People who are so busy twittering with their 'circle'/tribe/whatever and spamming Myspace are missing real life.

Forget this if real life means your group of friends that you are afraid of let go sometimes in your life.

BTW, when people bash Twitter or any new thing, they are only fueling the fire for the thingy.

That's not what I said. What I said is that if one has no enthusiasm for a thing, assuming that there's no enthusiasm to be had in general is a mistake - especially for a journalist or a blogger purporting to write about a social media site.

Personally, you can decide not to much care for something. But, if you then conclude that it's worthless and everyone involved is wasting their time - then, yes, you personally are missing something as a journalist or blogger. That, in reality, is arrogance.
