is weird. I realized I have a follower today which is cool cause i don't know her. I don't know how she came to follow me. I have many followers on Twitter, that's probably a good source. Its funny the difference in the dynamics of the people I have as friends on Facebook versus the people who follow me, & I likewise back, on Twitter. Some relationships on Twitter are one-way but they are fine in that balance.
There is a balance in the way these relationships exist that don't exist on Facebook. On Facebook everyone has a voice (Status Update) and not everyone chooses to use it. There are other means by which to talk to your friends: Their wall, and that has a friendship too. Sometimes closer than that of a message in ones Inbox or the simple existence of the friendship itself. I have many friends, lesser so on Twitter- which in my attempt to acquire more have resulted in lesser desirable friends, the ones you make fun of for saying some things that are deemed ignorant in Today's Society.
I don't mind their existence but on a content based site, such as Twitter, it is hard to accept that what they have to say is in someway, right or correct. Crazy people saying crazy thing makes for patience and understanding in what each is trying to convey in the friendship.
On Twitter though, you have the option of not hearing it. You can, if you want, choose to not see what that person has to say. It isn't as offensive as perhaps removing someone as a friend on Facebook. But Facebook is cool too. This isn't a shit on Facebook time. This is a I'm cooler on Twitter time.
I found out the other day, that I was a Hummingbird, whatever that means. I like being a hummingbird. At least then, I don't have the pressure of maintaining the persona of a Bald Eagle. They are scarce in their existence and they feel the need to continue where they are, Strong and Ready strike. On Twitter you choose not to follow them, and on Facebook you exist as they exist. The friendship is mutual. Friends in common that you share serve the great connection of being in the same group of friends. But what happens when the group decreases to not include you anymore, or what if you wanted to leave the group of friends from which others were mutual. There is little you can do about it. For some people this seem fair or ethical. But for most, for those few who don't get along with the rest of the birds, it poses a threat or problem. If you are a private kind of bird, your messages are private to a friend on Facebook, and similarly if your relationship calls for privacy on Twitter you can make what you say and see, not viewable to the world;
((I wander what would happen if i did that... with my friends currently, it would be more fun to make my twitter private cause they could see this... and decide whether they would be interested enough. O yeah that's why I wrote this originally. I wanted to go get friends on Twitter and shit got crazy. You can see for yourself if I choose to allow you to follow me! WHAT makes no sense. I wont privatize my Twitter. That's for gooks. Those extinct bald eagles))
But some don't need the privacy. Some dont care if they are seen or not. The world forgets, pretty quickly and on a time-line so short- who are we?, if we are choosing to make our time in life, private. Sketchy busiNAZz...YOooooo SO Oooooo ROooo
