Thoughts on Twitter

I mean...

Despite all the stress, vitriol, news, and bad takes we are often subjected to on Twitter, I will have fond memories of being there.

The amount of friends I've made there, the industry connections I've been able to create, and the ability to share and create music with other composers and musicians has been invaluable to my growth as a composer.

I'm sure I won't be the first person to say this either, but a lot of my video game gigs came from Twitter too! We'll see how trends go with finding gigs in the future, but musicians are generally quite good at adapting.

It'll be interesting how the world will operate on a Twitter-less world though! At least, until something new comes along to replace it.

I found most of my friends and most of my work through Twitter as well. I liked it on there, it's a shame what it has become in the past few weeks and months. The thought of hundreds of friends, acquaintances and connections just POOF being gone one day can easily make you feel depressed :(

I'm just now finding this post, and as much as I'm inclined to agree, I also haven't had the best of luck on the site. I used it for several years, and although I did have some funny memories as a casual user, I made very few connections overall, and it felt like talking to a wall every time I posted. Perhaps I used the site "wrong" but that's how I felt at least.

In any case, despite all the event being a spectacle to watch, it is saddening to think that Twitter may just as well be a hole in the ground soon.
