The Twitter Thread

[bullets]

Isn't twitter the same as a chatroom .

 

[Julio Alejandro]

That's because there isn't any to see.

OK. I thought so.

I don't get it either because you can now basically do the same thing with facebook. People post little messages about themselves now and everyone responds to them

But it's simplified down to just that. None of the extras that are in Facebook. I prefer the simplicity.

I see Twitter as kind of an ADD blog system. I don't have the time to read your 7 paragraph blog about your day, but I do have the time to read the highlights of your day through 5 or 6 single sentence posts.

Even if I had time to read them....I wouldn't want to. I like information about things...but reading that somneone just ate a ham sandwhich or walked his dog....doesn't interest me.

I got clients that Twitter, so I kinda have to do this in order to....well, pay rent.

On the radio this morning some girl was complaining about Twitter because it ruined her friendships. She said that because of the constant updating when they get together they have nothing to talk about. They said everything they needed to through Twitter. lol.

I find iPhone's to be the same way, anyone who has an iPhone in my group seems to rather play with that than actually talk to the people in the group. Really dislike all these "social" networking and super cell phones Twitter, Facebook, iPhone's are all horrible inventions in my mind.

The thing you use when you don't have a life.

It's a tool used for insulting celebrities.

The only reason I have twitter is to leave angry messages towards people I know who follow me

"You're girlfriend got fat, does she bring chips to bed?"

Yeah, I leave all my internet things behind when I go out. But a lot of the kids here at my school are ALWAYS on their laptops and chatting on facebook or some instant messaging program. That art of hanging out is getting lost.

Twitter = for people who don't have real friends

I could be really mean, and name some Hypesters that probably have this Twitter thing.


But I won't.

[squeekness]

If folks spend so much time doing intenet things, they forget that there is an actual real world with real live people in it.

Sam, please step into my office....

The Hype is my only online vice...I have no MySpace, FaceBook, Blog, Vlog, LiveJournal, Friendster, or Twitter

 

[Star]

You guys are silly. "Twitter sucks, people sit around and talk about their lives instead of living them blah blah etc"

Uhhhh we're on a messageboard

I have twitter and am not ashamed of it. If twitter ruined your friendship cause you post everything you either are not very interesting or you should just stop posting your whole life on there. I use mine to advertise for my blog and get various updates from places. I use twitter, post on 5 different forums, use facebook and run a blog and still have a fantastic social life. How these programs and web apps can make people not have one is beyond me. You have two options....become more interesting or get off the damn computer every once in a while.
