What is Twaxed.com's Mission?
The unprecedented growth of the Internet and rise of the age of information has inundated humanity with communication. Currently, the online micro-blog, Twitter, presents the clearest example of this inundation of communication. Whether this communication is necessary or not is debatable; however, in certain instances, we have found that Twitter users tend to share too much information. Status Updates are sometimes derogatory, imbecile, cruel, witless, or generally inappropriate. While these updates tend to be funny or entertaining at times, we believe it is important to re-examine how we are expressing ourselves in our new virtual world. Twaxed.com is intended for your entertainment, but we hope that you will take a moment to consider how you communicate on the Internet in the future.
