Why? Because even basic updates are meaningful to family members, friends, or colleagues—especially when they’re timely. -Eating soup? Research shows that moms want to know. -Running late to a meeting? Your co–workers might find that useful. -Partying? Your friends may want to join you. | ||

And fuck Twitter becoming the new fad, if it becomes as retarded as facebook, I'll leave Twitter too. Myspace used to be cool. Facebook used to be cool (maybe it still is, but I hate it) I'd like Twitter to stay the way it is, but once the masses find out (unintelligent people), it's pretty much ruined for me. Time to join that TL LinkedIn thing I guess. EDIT: And about random shit, I mean picture/videos/apps/notes/other shit. I don't mind the ADHD updaters. | ||

I used all the services you mentioned before they hit "mainstream" sort of speaking. when mySpace was just "simple" it was fun, and there wasn't that much non-sense on it, then it became the shithole of all the retards. Facebook is leading the way now, with more and more retarded people, and it's so amazing how it's specially made for Woman, if you change your underwear, facebook will fucking know, and it will let everyone of your friends know that you did, so..yeah stalking at it's best. And as you, I hope Twitter stays as simple as it is right now, it's full fills the purpose which it was made for, and a lot of people (refering here to NonY's post) do find it useful on things like that. ;P. Anyways..if it just fucks ups then so be it, I bet another one will come and replace it. (and then fuck up later too) | ||

Forums have been around since the birth of the Internets, so fuck web2.0 is valid. EDIT: I don't get how Twitter is superior to blogs... I don't blog, but I can see how you can use blogs in the same way Twitter is used. | ||

IMO it has no significant use. It's just a... blog, really. I could put in a blog, "What I did today" And that would be twitter every day. So I fail to see any point to using it. I've no idea how it became popular. It seems almost arrogant to think other people want to know what you're doing the whole day. No, that is arrogant. | ||

Not sure if this link will work, or work for anyone. But here's an enjoyable interview that has a short blurb about Twitter from Brian Williams. http://watch.thecomedynetwork.ca/the-daily-show-with-jon-stewart/full-episodes/#clip142757 | ||

Good thing about it is, you can get updates on many people by only reading your twitter page. Facebook has a similar feature with the status updates, but on facebook you need to be friends with that person and thus need to share your personal information with people. On Twitter you can get updates on your favorite band ("Tour dates are updated, check it out"), check up on old friends ("Back in Chicago, anyone wanna hang out?"), share information of your own ("Party at 10pm, facebook me for details"), etc. And the good thing is, it's just minimalistic and not bloated like other sites. You don't have to check 12389 blogs of random friends or bands or whatever, just to get updates. Usually a one-liner like twitter is enough, and if it's something that interests you, you can still check their blog. Twitter is just like a rss-feed, and you can choose what people/sites/bands/celebs you want to follow. If there's something that catches your eye, you can check it out in detail later. | ||
