Tell me who you Follow I will tell you who you are

Good morning Twitter.

so this morning I remembered the old adage "tell me who are your friend, I will tell you who you are", in this social media ERA, in this "fellow me plz" environment people tend to give less importance to social behavior like making friendship or being with others.

it is so easy to follow some one in twitter or elsewhere, it is so easy to be a friend with some one in this virtual environment, damn it cost a click on a link no more.

so here is the question :

do you make the same decision concerning your relationship in real life, like the one you make in social network?


for those who follow more then 200.000 people in twitter, my question is do you really have 200.000 friend in real life?

the evidence is NO.

so why making friendship over twitter is so easy , so evident, so sweeted for business?

tell with who you are, I will tell you who you are.

it is a quit simple and reflect the absurdity of fellowing 200.000 people.

in any relation there is an exchange of knowledge of ideas of information stream.

what do you will really learn in a noise of 200.000 talking to you?

some will argue that they can listen to 200.000 people at the same time , they have just to filter the information to read the usefull one the interesting one and to be blind regarding the others.

ok so here is my main argument :

before filtering the information , why not filtering the source of the information.

choose who you listen for and who not listen for before trying to sort huge amount of tweet.

people have to be honest there is an EGO manifestation, when people try to follow 200.000.

so relax, make a break and try to know who are you friend, cause it is the only way to know who you are.
