Over the last few days I have spent a little of my time revisiting Twitter, which was once one of my favourite websites. These days, however, Twitter just isn't quite the same for me. I joined the website sometime in 2009, I believe. At the time Twitter was just beginning to catch on; word of the 'site was just beginning to creep into mainstream media. At the time that I joined most of the activity on Twitter was between ordinary, everyday people. It wasn't until shortly after I joined that the corporate world took an interest in the website.
During my most active time on the website I met lots of great people – though I will say very few of them have kept in touch with me, nor I with them to be fair – and spent heaps of time talking with friends I had already. I enjoyed using the 'site immensely. However, over the past year and a half or so my interest in the website has diminished. Many of my friends and acquaintances have long since quit using the website; only a few now remain.
There is no doubt Twitter has many positive uses, many of which are much more important than simple conversation between friends; there are other websites out there that are much more suited for that purpose. That being said, I very much miss the experience the site offered me when I first began using it, though perhaps what I really miss is all my various friends I have made online over the years whom I so rarely encounter these days. Unfortunately we are all just busy with life to talk as much as we used to. That's just the order of things.
Having revisited the website lately I have found myself wanting to reconnect with many of my online friends. Though I don't often have the opportunity to catch up with most of my friends, at least part of the problem is that I don't often make the effort to seek out my old friends enough. It's not that I don't want to make that effort, it's more that I usually have other things on my mind and simply don't spend much time online compared to days past. One thing is for certain, though, if I do find myself reconnecting with my various online friends I really should at least try to keep myself from becoming too re-taken with one or two of the lovely ladies I have come to know, especially since said ladies are almost always oceans away, but knowing me, I should probably just accept defeat in that regard now.
