We look back to a few posts that define the naivety and brilliance of some web-enslaved homo sapiens who think that Twitter is the end of the world, or have made it to be so. The very idea of the creation of such applications is the fact that they serve us, instead, like drugs, we end up getting hooked onto them, not giving anything away to common sense and the perils that lie buried in such fragile ideas. We’ve picked 5 of the most annoying Twitter applications that may.

Warning: If any of these applications and uses make you raise you eyebrows in either surprise or appreciation, then you may well be on the path of micro-blogging doom. You need to change your ways else you may well end up being another ‘Tweethead’.

5. Man uses Twitter to stalk his own house, get updates of all activity

First of all he’s paranoid, secondly he’s a Tweethead; enslaved to the wonders of Twitter and all the people it’s attracting to its lethal coven. This IBM employee feels that getting his Twitter account connected to just about every part of his house is a good idea. The result: he receives updates on everything from the faucets being opened to his cat climbing the keyboard, on his account, no matter where he is. I really feel it would be a better idea to get this data to a police station instead and that too if he’s really got something valuable in the cellar. What would be the use if he’s watching his house getting smoothly burgled when he’s on a holiday in Tokyo? What’s more, all a thief has to do is hack this guy’s account (that’s if he’s kept it private in the first place) to receive updates on everything in his house. We know your cool brother, but we also hope that you buckled up.

4. Tweeting cats - Another ingenious use of Twitter

There have been enough intrusions into animal life by us humans. By petting them we have taken away their natural instinct to hunt, fend for themselves and sometimes, even to mate on their. Here’s a couple who want to make it so easy for their cats to survive in this dog’s world that they have created a special application to make sure that strays cats don’t get the food that their felines are entitled for. They have added sensor to their cat door that reads the RFID tags on their cat’s collar to let it in their house. Strays are hence not recognized and cannot make it through the cat door. For feline’s sake, let these fend for themselves.

3. Make your plants Twitter the next time they are thirsty

After animals, come the plants. Plants can now Tweet their owners whenever they’re thirsty; of course, this is much against their free will. If given mobility and freedom of decision, the first thing that a plant would do is chop off the feet of every man alive to make up for the large number of trees that have been cut since men invented axes. Depending on the specifications that you have entered for the type of plant in the software, it will decide when the plant is thirsty and post the same on Twitter. Wouldn’t this get you cornered the next time you think up an excuse for not watering your plants?

2. Kickbee allows unborn child to twitter movements

Kickbee is a bundled gadget that allows expecting parents monitor the movements of their unborn child. The concept seems to be pretty well worked on with a belt that has the entire circuitry that sends Twitter feeds to a remote computer using Bluetooth. If you got such a contraption strapped around your wife then better make sure that she remains within (Bluetooth) range else you may miss a twitch of a finger by junior. Also, I hope that the damn thing doesn’t affect the health of the fetus in anyway.

1. Jennifer Aniston breaks up with obsessive Twittering boyfriend

Topping the list, is one nuisance of Twitter that isn’t really new in our midst but since it has affected a celebrity, we put it as Numero Uno. Yes, Jennifer Aniston has born the brunt of loving a Tweethead. What followed was a ceremonial break up since the John Mayer just couldn’t get over his Twitter addiction and kept giving excuses to Jenny that he’s busy with something or the other. I hope he now realizes that the damn monitor can never provide him with that perfect pair… of lips.

After all these instances, I wonder if they can still call Twitter a boon. It’s a blooming curse I tell you. Change your ways and repent.
