Worst Twitter TMI: The Most Egregious Overshares On Twitter (PICTURES)

Twitter calls itself a "real-time information network" that "lets you share and discover what's happening now."

That information can be helpful, amusing entertaining, and interesting. But more often than we'd like, people offer just too much information (TMI), tweeting about menstruating, having sex, tasting breast milk, going to the bathroom, and much, much-too-much more.

We've collected some of the worst Twitter TMIs from celebrities and average Twitter users alike.

Check them out in the slideshow below, send us others you've seen, then, for something a little different, check out the most memorable newsmaking tweets that shook the world. Here's a look at celebrities' TMI Twitpics.

Such use of Twitter just leads to a very wide shallow life. There is no way to reach deep knowledge or understanding of anything through that media. For all Twitters users, stop using it so much and get a real life. Used now and then can have its merits but I don't know if it is possible to be a casual Twitter user.

There are three reasons to twitter;

1. Narcissism and ego. (@Cole33; succinct and telling.)
2. A desire to live vicariously through others (see #1 above), which is a very sad comment on our technological 'emotional' lives. Maybe we should reconsider the effect of the media upon our 'emotional content.'
3. emergency calls for help (very rare.)

The unique, fast-paced forum is designed to addict, much like videogames and HP's badge/color system (thanks a lot, HP.) Media is designed to be persuasive and sometimes commanding. Be careful of all of it; always look to motive.

Agreed, but I'll add one more reason:

My former psych professor has an account. If she's going to be late or out, she just posts it on Twitter to keep from sending a bulk e-mail. Of course, I don't use Twitter, so it never helped me out.

Reminds me of this genius piece a couple weeks ago in the New Yorker:

I am so happy I don't have a twit account. We need Twit like we need more commercials on TV!

The direction society is heading in is very weird.

These samples are evidence that

A) HuffPo's new badge system requirement that folks wanting to be upgraded be linked to Twitter may be applauding concise idiocy.

B) That Twitter actually does concise idiocy.

C) That Twitter might me called mini-blogging but it is really brain-farting.

Yep, don't care for it at all.

Another kind poster informed me of the no-script extension to firefox, and saved my mind and my laptop.

Sarah Palin tweeted: [07/2009]
"Grateful Todd left fishing grnds to join me this wkend; but now he's back slaying salmon & working the kids @ the site; anxious to join 'em!"

Reading a John Mayer tweet and complaining of "overshare" is like jumping in a pool and whining about getting wet. The Canseco tweet, though....I'm wondering if the word "third" was supposed to have a "u" where the "hi" were. Sorry...
