So there’s all this buzz about Twitter…
Anyone who’s anyone seems to have one of those damned Twitter account these days.
And while millions of people around the world are tweeting, twitting or twotting – many people still consider the Twitter groupies a bunch of twits.
5 reasons why you should stay strong with your twit-mentality and avoid the Twitter bandwagon like the plague.
1) You Don’t Have Time
Your schedule is jam-packed every single day. You’re struggling to just break even with your task list. You barely have time to take a toilet break, let alone build relationships that could open you up into a whole new world of business connections and potential revenue.
2) You Have Enough Money
You’ve got exactly the right amount of money. You don’t want a single dime more. You want your income to stay exactly where it is, no ifs or buts. Any extra revenue to be made from forging new business partnerships or projects on Twitter would just make you angry.
3) You’ve Got All The Friends You Need
You have got enough friends. They all have their place in your life and you don’t want to interrupt the pattern and add a single other friend to the mix. You don’t want to meet anyone from another country, share a conversation with a multi-millionaire or learn anything new from anyone – you’ll stick to your non-Twit friends, thanks.
4) You Don’t Want The Attention
You’re not interested in getting all the attention. You like being the mysterious underground player and letting the limelight-seekers’ websites receive the exposure. Let ‘em have it, you say, I’m fine with my current customer base. I don’t want anyone else to know about us who doesn’t already have our business card in their filofax.
5) You’re Not Interested In Breaking News
You hate breaking news. You hate having to hear about it before any of the news crews get abreast of it. You hate having to read about it as it’s happening. You like knowing that tomorrow, when its all died down, you will be able to read a brief summary of events from a single journalist in Washington as you eat your cereal.
Don’t worry, I totally understand where you’re coming from.
I mean… what does Guy Kawasaki, the NY Times or Oprah know about business anyway. Pfft, try-hards.

Yes, Twitter is clearly valueless. Why, if it weren't for Twitter, where I first learned about you you via another Tweeter, I would not be enjoying your post here. What a horrible thing to enjoy someone else's post. Shame on Twitter! It is helping me to de-stress after a long day of IMing, which is such a terrible thing.
