Dear Twitter,
Working for an international humanitarian NGO, I tend to be a bit more globally focused than most. But considering the number of colossal natural disasters to strike the Philippines, Samoa and Tonga and Sumatra, Indonesia this week, it just breaks my heart when I read your top trending topics, and they are all about completely mundane, pop-culture stuff.
Your coverage of the #iranelection was when I started to find you so attractive, and I had high hopes that you would rise above as the more adult network for sharing ideas and news on a global scale. But - to say this bluntly - you are rapidly proving yourself to me as just another site on a breakneck race to the middle. To say I am disappointed in you is an understatement.
Twitter, I want to love you so. In theory we should be perfect for each other. But lately I feel as if I am the one doing all the work to try and make this relationship evolve. I am not saying I am breaking up with you, but maybe a trial separation is in order.
Maybe you could take the time to reflect on your public timeline and decide, is this what you really want? To be the mouthpiece of the Ashton Kutchers and Perez Hiltons and relate tidbits of celeb gossip in real time?
Think about it and please let me know.
