TWITTER OVERLOAD - TWITTER CAUSING PROBLEMS?!

Twitter literally exploded on the social networking scene in seconds, everyone who is anyone was on it twittering away. The explosion of twitter was much larger than facebook because celebrities and other influential people got involved and started interacting with the rest of us normal peeps....

CNN, NBC, BBC, MTV, and the list goes on and on and on oh and President Barack Obama even got twitter, they had twitter!

Everyone was discussing how great twitter is, and how it unites people, and allows you to reach people, sending important human rights issues...blah blah blah...yes its great, we agree...BUT when does it become TWITTER OVERLOAD?

Here are just a few example of how Twitter CAUSED PROBLEMS:

President Obama
in a press meeting, had some downtime off-the record time...and yet some ABC peeps decided to TWITTER what that he called Kanye a Jackass


Moving on, a waiter at CPK restaurant (California Pizza Kitchen) got fired because of Twitter!

Watch



Then, this guy responded by saying that his girlfriend broke up with him due to Twitter...




So, what do you guys think?

Is Twitter to blame?

OR

Are we just sharing TOO MUCH of our personal lives to the world?

Discuss.....let us know what you think....
