        Its getting an amazing amount of free publicity as I see it mentioned daily on radio/tv. It appears to be nothing more than micro blogging, but the viral effect has taken over and its the "in" thing to be doing right now.

                      I totally don't get that site. Isn't just like broadcast text messages?

                      I can barely muster the concentration to listen to my own friends and family prattle on about their boring lives, let alone self obsessed celebrities or strangers.

                      But I assume one day someone will invent a social networking concept that will hook me and I'll look just as pathetic as everyone who is twittering now.

                          The owners of Twitter deserve their success. Obviously, viral type, social networking sites are all the rage right now. Twitter put their own spin on that genre and made it work.

                            agree with you

                            I can sort of understand something coming out like this and getting hype in the media so a bunch of sheep in the public jump on the bandwagon, but it seems strange to me to read here at this supposed learned webmaster type crowd here on gfy getting on the same bandwagon..... I really don't get it

                                  Here's a hint about twitter for those of you that "dont get it" yet...

                                  if you follow smart people that post insightful tweets you learn/discover things ahead of the pack. Having knowledge before your competitors is the key. And a good webmaster knows how to turn prior knowledge (finding out things before other webmasters) into $$$.

                                  but hell, i am not going to try and talk you into seeing the benefits of twitter, it'd just be more competition for me

                                      Ok, i'm not being sarcastic here, i just feel very stupid. Can someone tell me wtf it is.
                                      All i see is some random text from god knows who. What is it supposed to do? Do i need to see other pages? Is there something else than random notes? I'm serious. I really don't understand it.

                                        Twitter has no income. Built into my ps3. Pushed all over articles in newspapers and TV. I tried it out and think it is a piece of shit...

                                          In the UK the turning point was about two months ago when suddenly the BBC decided every one of its big radio shows needed to be twittering...BOOM..now it is everywhere.

                                          I am loving it with my mainstream sites especial. Plus, on my personal non-biz account I have had a weird one on one conversation going on between me and my favourite radio presenter for a month now. Kind of cool.

                                                        agreed, now it seems like everyone that gets on the net is thinking "monetize"

                                                        years ago the internet used to be so much more innocent, people set up webrings and made sites just because they liked the subject, where users never even thought about the webmasters that were doing it to make money, now everyone knows that if they click on something that someone might be making money from it

                                                        what is it that you love in regards to using it with your mainstream sites? how do you envision the internet in the next year, are we supposed to have all of our sites fed through twitter now? kind of like rss? so far I'm like the others who can't see the draw to it, it just seems like a bunch of pointlessness packaged in a very unappealing way

                                                                              I promote mainstream sites on Twitter and the key is to get your link read (and viralized) by 'influential' people. It's great!

Pretty easy to blow up with all the media and celebrity hype. It can probably be use for marketing and generate decent income source. Personally I don't get it. Text messaging? What do I care what the average joe or average celebrity is doing 24/7? Like somebody else said, the last thing I want to do is spend time reading two- sentence long boring drivel about others' lives.

There are actually 1000 people reading several sentences you post every 10 seconds even though they don't know who you are? Who would do that?

                                                                                  On the flipside if a twitter user is following hundreds of people, how do they get any time to even check out what those 100 people are twittering?

                                                                                  I'm out of the loop. I honestly don't 'get it' at all.

I rember when twitter first came out and I mentioned it on GFY, most people thought I had two heads or had totally lost it.. Amusing to see where it's at now.

They had a ton of venture capital behind them to propel them to brand names overnight. While I see the utility of Youtube and Facebook, Twitter seems less clear. I guess it's like facebook but more real-time? Perhaps it's great if you're trying to get ahold of somebody or to meet up, in virtual real-time, if you don't have other means of contact - you might know where they are, or plan to be, by checking out their twitter.

                                                                                                  But I'm probably oldschool. Maybe in this day in age people want to follow the goings-on in others' lives, including anonymous strangers, on a minute-to-minute basis.

                                                                                                  For those of you that use it, what do you use it for other than marketing?
