So let me guess - this Twitter thing is like a blog, except that it allows you to update things more "real time" and keep a constant stream of updates going? WTF? I mean, seriously. WTF? It's bad enough that people feel the need to share their mundane existence on the internet in the first place (do you Twitter when you're about to take a shit?), but even more pathetic are the losers who want to actually READ about someone going to take a shit. "OH LOOK! XYZ just posted that he's about to drop a load! Awesome!".  Please tell me there's something more to this Twitter phenomenon than that. PLEASE. Don't make me lose all hope for humanity. |

Sums up my feelings about twitter. |

have to agree with Kid Rock on this one
July 29, 2009 ––
COUNT Kid Rock out as a fan of Twitter. "It's gay. If one more person asks me if I have a Twitter, I'm going to tell them, 'Twitter this [bleep], mother[bleep]er,' " the shaggy-haired rocker tells Rolling Stone. "I don't have anything to say, and what I have to say is not that relevant. Anything that is relevant, I'm going to bottle it up and then squeeze it onto a record somewhere." |

The above posts of mine are an example of how lame Twitter can be. They are just an example. If it was really twitter, there would be 87 more posts about mundane shit I'm doing this morning. So that's really it? People posting about doing nothing?
It's a website about nothing. It even has an ASSMAN

Twitter is handy for some things. You can update Twitter rather than having to contact multiple people. And you can do it over your cell phone. Worked great for people evacuating from hurricanes last year. +1 my business uses it to communicate with ad hoc groups of people simultaneously via text from a cell phone without having to have everyone's cell number on your phone and without having to set up recipient groups. If you can't figure out a few ways to make it work for you (or can't envision how it could work for others) you might need to think harder. (or maybe you just don't need to communicate) |

It's only a useless app if you follow attention whores. You don't have to , you know.
It is VERY good if used as a tool to disseminate information in a hurry to a group of like-minded folks in an emergency. Trust me, it works. No coommunication other than monthly comm tests, and this is but one tool that is used along with email, voicemail, sms, and HAM radios. |

I'm assuming that 99.99% of people do NOT use it that way though, correct? |
