#OnlyOnTwitter should be fun … #OnlyIt’sNot

New feature doesn’t live up to billing

Twitter just announced a new weekly feature called #OnlyOnTwitter and explained the concept in a blog post (which has been polished up to look prettier under a new URL since this item first posted).

You know those incredible moments that make Twitter so special - the ones you can't help but tell somebody about? Over the last six years, Twitter has hosted many thousands of these, big and small: news events, conversations between celebrities, great creative hashtags, running jokes or debates. We've started collecting these moments here over the last few months, and now we're sharing them with you. Each week you'll see instances from sports, television, news, music - and they all have one thing in common: they appear #OnlyOnTwitter.

I like Twitter - especially the lighter stuff -- and thought, "Hey, this should be fun."

It wasn't. Not even a little.

There's a collection of tweets about musicians at SXSW; a pity party for a college basketball player who broke his wrist; a Q&A with the executive producer of "Walking Dead," which admittedly I might have found more interesting had I ever watched the show; and, another pile of tweets about college basketball, which I do watch, perhaps far too much. 

Maybe next week #WillBeBetter.
