Tim Berners-Lee has a Twitter
and I think it's hilarious. I only think this because Tim Berners-Lee is so different from my idea of a typical twitter user. I just can't imagine him seeing something and saying, "I'm gonna tweet that." I looked over his recent tweets, and they were all very serious and smart-sounding. I feel like most people use twitter as more entertainment than informational. I just keep thinking of other famous people on twitter, like Miley Cyrus, who use their twitter to show the world their "true selves." In reality they're promoting themselves and trying to entertain their fan base. Berners-Lee uses it to share articles and take part in discussions. Isn't that really what social media is made for anyways? He seems to be the only one to know that. I also think it's funny that he still hasn't changed any of the settings on his twitter. He still has the standard template that twitter gives you. He invented the web, so I know he can probably figure out how to change the background color for his twitter profile. I assume he did this because he felt that the information he was tweeting was more important than how edgy his profile is. It's strange to me though that he has so few followers and tweets so little. You would think that most of his fans would be online, but while Miley has 14,291,313 followers, Berners-Lee has 146,045. Miley Cyrus has literally over 97 times more followers. lyke wut. This guy invented the world wide web; he is a genius who's contribution to the world was the access to the world. Yet, he has less followers than a half-naked 20 year old girl.

I found this interesting since it's an issue about social networks that has been irking me for ages. I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to reblog it.
