Okay, I do not understand Twitter

**clickhappy** · 12-20-2008, 12:09 PM

Its fun for a short while but then gets boring. I havent been on there in months. good for promoting a mainstream site though

**mynameisjim** · 12-20-2008, 12:09 PM

I don't get it either. But then again, I've never had a myspace or facebook account either.

I guess I have to wait for web 3.0

I try to explain it as a new type of 'away message'. Some people incessantly change their away message, others Twitter.

**d-null** · 12-20-2008, 12:14 PM

other than the spam, myspace was still the best of the lot

A type of "away message"?

If I don't answer my phone, I am probably away.

I meant IM away message, like on ICQ or AIM.

Agreed. I love following CNN and getting updates to my phone with breaking headlines.

Yes, and a good source of collaborations and possible business too.

I follow Rick Sanchez and Don Lemon so far on Twitter, any suggestions on other reporters?

I follow CNN Breaking News and my local paper, that's all I've needed so far.

I love the 140 character limit. It makes people think about what they post. It is like Haiku for the digital era.

**Ava Knight** · 12-20-2008, 02:21 PM

I put my Twitter feed into my site and blog so my members can keep up with my daily activities

It's like texting your boyfriend/girlfriend about what's going on, for me.

**Ethersync** · 12-20-2008, 02:34 PM

Anyone care to share their Twitter URL?

**Seth_CowStream** · 12-20-2008, 02:46 PM

I follow Lance Armstrong on Twitter and now I know what he eats for breakfast.

It is a good way to follow friends that are out of state. You can only post a brief mesaage.

**HomerSimpson** · 12-20-2008, 04:09 PM

it sucks...

Si · 12-20-2008, 07:11 PM

Twitter is good for the shitter, but so bad for the rep.
If i'm on the shitter, i prefer to go fuck yourself instead!

**tony286** · 12-20-2008, 07:13 PM

my wife loves it I dont get it.

And am I the only one left in society that does not want the world to know what I'm doing, why I'm doing it, and when I'm doing it? I do not understand this need to be constantly "in touch" with everyone in existence.

I'm with you.

I did the MySpace thing for about a week and that was the end of my social networking.

Chances are, if you don't already know how to get in contact with me and me you, it's for a reason. If you were that important to begin with we would have stayed in contact.
