So Ricky Gervais gave up on Twitter…

…and more power to him.  You could tell from his first tweet that this wasn’t his idea, and his last one put paid to the idea that he’d be using twitter anytime soon. Floated as a way to promote his hosting of the upcoming Golden Globes he just didn’t seem to see the point and said so on his blog (you may have to scroll to week 100 as I can’t link to individual posts).

If I want to tell a friend, famous or otherwise what I had to eat this morning, I’ll text them.

And that’s why I say more power to him. He gets online media. He’s been podcasting, blogging, and vlogging for sometime.  All with a specific project or purpose in mind. He’s found the methods that work for him and work very well too. Why distill the message for the sake of using the “fad-du-jour”?
