Music: John Mayer is done with Twitter, and let’s face it, so are we

  • I just think Twitter as a form of communication, I think it’s over to be honest with you.
  • Guitar god/Oversharer John Mayer • Regarding his feelings on the service. Dude hasn’t tweeted much lately and is claiming on stage that it’s just not that cool anymore. We wonder why that might be. Is it possibly because of this? Or maybe this (which didn’t start on Twitter but certainly ended there)? Which is why we’re going to quit Twitter. Right now. That’s it. No more Twitter for us. Now, excuse us while we tweet this post. Gah! We already fell off the freaking wagon! source

Culture: John Mayer thinks we all need a “digital cleanse” to start out 2010

  • Someone is all teched out. And who else isn’t? In a year where Facebook Connect became a constant companion because you just couldn’t remember another password to another site, John Mayer’s convinced that society at large needs a digital cleansing. And who’s to say he’s wrong? He has a pretty good point, guys.
  • The Cleanse John Mayer wants everyone to take a week off of the social Web. “I’ll be defragmenting my mental and psychological hard drive during the first seven days of the new year, and I invite you all to participate.”
  • the details He wants everyone interested to stop using social networking for one week, to only use their cell phones for calls, to only use their laptops for e-mail and to stop visiting celebrity gossip sites, because they rot the mind.
  • will it work? Mayer passed the idea by people – to begin tomorrow and end January 8 – and saw some resistance. “If it is impossible, than my theory is already proven and we’re in big trouble as a society.” Good point. source
