Anybody use Twitter? my scrn name is wildcrd. sorry if this has been asked before. I just thought it would be cool if thos of us on it got together
-
I've got a twitter thing, but don't fully understand the functionality of it. It's only got like 2 lines worth of typing before it cuts you off. Who on earth has that little to say? Not women, that's for sure!
-
From what I gather, Twitter is there to update people as to what you are currently doing. It's not a blog.

Some people use things like facebook to keep in touch with friends via wall posting, and private messages. Not everyone that uses it posts every time they are heading to the mens room. Actually very few people on my list do.
Whats wrong with that? :aok

I haven't seen anyone post in the manner that I was portraying in my previous post. :)
I haven't figured it out yet. :)

I've blocked the twits in our office.

What in the world is a twitter. Apparently im the only person not doing it
-
It's got a scroll of what other people type (if you "follow" them), sort of the same way facebook shows posts of your friends.
But the typing is limited to 75 or 100 characters, or something like that. I "follow" a few local newspapers, so they type breaking news taglines in there & stuff like that.

Twitter, MySpace, Facebook and other sites like it were created solely to let the rest of us know who the fruits are.
ack-ack
-
They were probably created by the advertising industry. Advertisements for people who think they're just talking to other folks.
-
So its something for people who crave attention?
-
If you ask me, it is a waste of time and money that could be well spent ELSEWHERE. Just because everyone else does it, it does not mean you should hop on the bandwagon too.
-
We always had twitter, but back then we just called it wasting time.
-
Is that the same as twittering your thumbs?
-
what the hell is a twitter? :confused:
-
Not sure... But I think it is in reference, to the sound and activity of a group of school girls
passing the latest gossip about their classmates, boyfriends, etc... Sorta like a, whispered
Tee Tee giggle, Tee Tee giggle giggle, kinda thing.. If ya get what I mean?
That comes from my youngest son, who says.. "School girls Twitter, MEN DO NOT!!!"
:D I raised him well!!!!

FaceBook was created for a University (by them) as a sort of interactive yearbook. At first it was students (and staff?) of the university only, then friends of students, until eventually they opened it to the general public.

I believe it was on the news today that the marines blocked all use of those.

I really do enjoy facebook (once the gay quizzes are blocked).
I keep in better contact with one of my younger brother than I ever have before, which alone makes it worth it. Plus I now keep in contact & share pictures with friends from decades ago. :) That's so wonderful!
Also, there's local organizations that I'm 'fans' of, which keep data on their upcoming events and photos of past events on there. Those are nice too.
-
Why in the world would I want anyone to know what I was doing all the time, and why in the world would anyone care what I was doing?
Twitter is pretty appropriately named if you ask me, it's for twits.
-
I find Twitter and MySpace a bit much. Never-ending spam about useless actions and huge sparkly web-pages with tiled backgrounds made for the 800x600 days and some emo band in the background that you can't find to turn off (bless you, NoScript) is just not something I can stomach.
A clean, white and blue layout that, like TxMom said, lets you block all the little girls taking their quizzes from your news feed and lets you keep in touch with lost-to-distance friends and keep track of things that interest you? Heck yes.
-
I use facebook keep in touch with my closest family and friends and update them on this and that. I dont accept other people and i wont be found if you search for me by my real name :)
-
Facebook was enough of a step for me.
I always hated the whole idea of it.... but there's no denying that it makes it easier to keep in touch with friends.
I'm a bit like Nilsen. My profile is private and I only allow close friends on it.
-
I don't understand twitter. Is it for texting? I don't text and have that function turned off on my phone.

How are you and yours doing? Kid still playing football or has he become a ballerina? :D

Don't do Twitter...even though I created an account to enter an EVGA giveaway contest...I find it extremely USELESS to need to know someone's stupid thoughts on the day.

"Today I stepped in dog doo-doo. Now my life is totally ruined and I will never get married" :cry :cry :cry :cry :cry
Typical Twitter/facebook/myspace posting

Twitter hasn't caught fire at all in Europe. And I'm glad it is so.
