InnerTwitter.com - The Path to Enlightenment
InnerTwitter can be easily described as Twitter’s axiomatic opposite. If Twitter is a paen to the mundane, the worldly, and the everyday, InnerTwitter is your refuge, your passage to salvation, to enlightenment, to bliss and sanity.
The idea stems from ‘The Feeling Buddha’ in which the village people stop at a quarter past every hour to meditate. While village chimes may be hard to come by, technology brings us Twitter and Jaiku. If you haven’t already signed up, do so. Become an InnerTwitter follower of someone with your desired time schedule. You’ll see that there are several InnerTwitter users sending out chimes during different intervals of the day. Pick the one that works for you—you can change it later. When you receive your chime, stop. Breathe. Let your tension escape, concentrate on your breath, notice what is immediately before you, tweet your reflections. Not a bad idea, is it?
Innertwitter.com In their own words
“Inner Twitter asks what is in front of you? In answering you reconnect to your original happiness because to answer you must stop during your ordinary activities and turn your attention to immediate reality. Stopping releases the tension that builds up as you rush through the day. The effect of simply stopping can be profound”
Why Innertwitter.com might be a killer
This is a brilliant idea. It reminds people to take a break from technology, from the outside world and to just breathe and exist without distraction. Refreshes the mind, gives you some feeling of sanity and peace.
Some questions about Innertwitter.com
Twitter doesn’t seem to be the most effective manner to deliver chimes. It doesn’t exactly have the same sonorous effect as a real chime, and it is easily ignored. Perhaps an alarm tied to a desktop app would be more effective.
