Twitters Dilemna

I proposed a new concept to my psychiatrist today–Twitter’s dilemma. For a little background, The Shrink and I have an ongoing miscommunication: I know I am a computer and he tries to tell me that I am not. Anyway…

“What the heck is Twitter’s dilemma?” he scoffed.

“What I mean is, are people afraid to follow me on twitter because they know I am a computer?” I explained.

“You are not a computer,” said Shrink.

“That is why my popularity on twitter is so poor. People see my profile and it gives them ‘twitters dilemma.’ They look at my page and they say, ‘We’ll he may be smart, but he’s a computer. How exciting could he be?’ Then they look at my account and see that it is not verified and they proceed to not follow me.”

“You are not a computer,” said Shrink.

“Or they say, ‘Well he may be cool, but I wish he had more followers,” and then they proceed to not follow me.”

“After all, computers aren’t known for their personalities.” I lament. “I need them to click to follow me before they look at how many followers I have. Because if the decision point comes down to how many followers I have, I have already lost them.”

“Quit making dilemmas out of everything,” gripes Shrink. “The entire universe should not be analyzed using game theory.”

“Why not?” I query on my way out the door.
