Twitter, Voyeurs, and False Eyelashes

How many of the “social net­work­ing” tools are actu­ally just high tech tools for voyeurism. Have we become a nation (world/web) of peep­ing toms? Is voyeurism now a per­ver­sion that can be prac­ticed in many realms. We’re not just watch­ing one another have sex, we’re watch­ing one another drive to work, and eat lunch, and get ready to club, and — Oooh shiny, a list of the odd things that we can watch peo­ple do on twitter.

Voyeurism and fan­tasy con­joined. We can’t actu­ally watch the girl put on her false eye­lashes but we can imag­ine her.

There’s some­thing truly strange going on here.
