Twitter..The Joint Family Equivalent

Most of you know that Twitter is a social networking site. But what you don't know is that it's an equivalent of being in a joint family.

There is no such thing as privacy since everything happens on a public timeline. From what you're eating to where you're going...who you're friends are....who you're fighting with.....who's happy....who's sad....we know it all.

Personally I love being surrounded and loved by all these people but I do concede that at times it can get annoying. The lack of privacy, the nosiness, the questions. Everyone knows everyone's business. One sad/angry tweet can fill up your timeline with countless queries from people wanting to know what's wrong. That's the way it works....we live, laugh, fight and cry together openly for all to see.

You must be wondering what's my point? In the last few days I've come across a few instances where people have gotten upset with what they probably think is an invasion of privacy. I admit we do overstep our boundary at times. But that's not coz we're nosy. We genuinely care about the people we interact with. It's not gossiping......it stems from loving. So please keep that difference in mind next time you get pissed off......coz only when you loose this love and caring will you understand how precious it is. But it will be too late....you will no longer be a part of this wonderful and loving joint family!!!
