Feeling like the smelly kid

I, like many of you, are totally obsessed with Twitter.  But I’ve noticed something about this little web 2.0 app that could.  Sometimes, it makes me feel like the smelly kid at lunch that no one wants to sit with.

I think it’s just because the Twitter experience can be a bit overwhelming and since there’s so much going on, and you’re not involved in much of it, you feel like you’re not involved at all.  I often feel that my friends in real life, care more about their twitter friends when they are tweeting.   I know it’s silly, petty and mostly untrue but there’s something about this system that makes me feel that way.  I feel like I’m constantly waving my arms saying “look at me, look at me!” and no one is looking.  Sad.

anyway, follow me on twitter and please say hi. I’m feeling very lonely in the twitterverse.
