Well, I don't think it's either good or bad in a moral sense. As you say, people want it, so in a sense that makes it good. But it also has a very low signal:noise ratio, which, in a sense, makes it bad.
I don't have a problem with it, it's not like it hurts anything, I just think that it generally appeals to people interested in it for marketing/PR purposes or to people with insecurities. Neither of these purposes strikes me as especially noble.
- DenisM 18y agoWhen you hug a fmaily memenber, what is the signal/noise ratio? What people fail to realize about twitter is that it's not about information, it's about sense of beling involved in someone's life. Sense being the keyword. When it's mutual it's just a digital stand-in for a hug and a family small-talk.
