ZZZZzzzzzz. I know this is good for some people, but I totally don’t get the whole micro-bloggin thing. Do that many people really thing the world gives a rat’s ass what they do moment to moment?
Now to go post my opinion on Facebook….

think, not thing….sheesh.
Twitter is for silly twats.
I really enjoy Twitter; it’s been a good way to keep up with acquaintances in my various interests, & I’ve met some new folks through them. Facebook bored me, but Twitter suits my crazy life especially being able to do it on the bus via iPhone.
Twit Bird Pro on iPod and Twitteriffic on iPad are the best. The only thing Twitter! for iPod will have over the others is access to programming hooks denied to third-party developers. Maybe good some day, but not likely.
@justme2, I have NEVER used the word ‘bored’ in reference to myself, and I’m 77 years old.
What would be handy is if they’d get around to updating the Mac app. That’d be grand.
MacDailyNews’ latest Tweet
Good one, MDN!
Oh wow look at me! I’m so self centered and self important that I actually believe that people give a rats ass what I am doing or thinking at any given moment. So, like, umm, I so Twitter … NOT!!!
Everyone! …
My cat puked on the rug and a second ago I took a dump.
I gotta tweet this people have to know!
Update:
I just now picked my daughter up at the bus. Going to finish the brochure now.
This line is just to use my 140 character limit…..
So, I’m getting the feeling that most respondents here don’t actually use Twitter, or at least have only experienced it’s slimy underbelly…
I saw your tweet MDN!
Still not impressed and see no reason why anybody would take the time to ‘want’ to read what you just tweeted. It’s stuff like that that convinces me it is worthless. Thanks for your confirmation.
I like twitter FAR more than Facebook. I quit Facebook last week. Less BS to deal with.
It’s all in how you use it. I follow only tech blogs and news agencies. Kind of like an RSS feed. It is the only place I need to go on my iPhone for all the latest stories. Skip the friends and don’t bother with the public timeline and it is an amazing place for quick access to info. Make sure you instantly block the spammers as well which helps the entire community by getting rid of them. Finally, don’t try to make it a validation of how popular you think you are by trying to get as many followers as possible. There is simply no way you could ever sort through 50000 follower tweets anyway. It just makes you look like a douche.
I was really annoyed with this app upgrade. I have a number of accounts (for business reasons – shared news tweeting) and the upgrade wiped all my account info. I have to re-setup multiple accounts. Not that much work (well, to some extent it is… digging up the id/pw’s that I no longer have)… but really, really poor upgrade design.
In terms of Twitter, I’ve been a “power user” for a while… and I find it a complete waste of my time. It’s much more like MySpace than Facebook. It’s most useful as an RSS-like feed tool — a little simpler to just follow or “snack” on various feeds. But it’s not social networking… oneway shouting to the world is actually anti-social.
I enjoy Twitter. And so can you – follow’comedians like Sarah Silverman, John Cleese, Steven Colbert, Rainn Wilson, etc. – they put out two or three laugh-out-loud quips a day. Some very funny, (often highly irreverent) stuff. As far as ‘tweeting’ myself, I don’t announce every time I wack off but I do like participating in some of the clever quip games that go around, most of which you’ll find out about from the comedians’ tweets. Best ever were “#twowordsaftersex” (e.g. “Thanks, Mom!”) and “#threewordsaftersex” (e.g. “Goodnight Uncle Carl”)
What ron said
“Twitter is for silly twats.”
+10 … I like twats!
Twitter rocks on the iPhone and iPad, even better than desktop Safari
I prefer to use the Tweetosaurus app on iPhone, but tweetie (now Twitter) is cool too
Twitter, twatter – only Philistines need apply.
