i even deactivated facebk (before google search was allowed to access facebk) saved myself plenty of privacy by doing that =P honestly ppl these days put out so much about themselves it's like personal data miner's heaven... i try my best to not expose myself as much as i can IMHO i think my friends get enough of my facts when i see them that unless given enough time to recuperate, may nvr hang out w/ me again... so i think me twitter-ing would be just bad... like salts on wound bad... EDIT: rofl at the video THE FAIL WHALE... win | ||

I post links to good games, useful threads, major news...even if you are already super on top of the SC scene I think it will be useful as a reminder of when major matches are coming up. I made a topic about twitter.com/starcraftnews a while ago, and people posted to say "WTF why would I use this". Now that Twitter is getting more popular, I'm gaining a lot of followers. Honestly, Twitter is one of those phenomena that you will not understand until you become a part of it. This is my personal account: http://twitter.com/joedunn . Last week I was in NYC for a day, and the only reason I was able to meet up for dinner with some people I know (acquaintances) is because they tweeted they were in NYC as well. Twitter is a great way to keep up with all of my friends. Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it sucks. Man i dont know why you would make something like that when all you need to do is look through TL, theres a calendar on the side and news posts so whats the point really | ||

They like to open up their Twitter homepage and see a SC-related link, even if they are about to visit TL.net next. The point isn't to get people to go to "a random twitter site" over TL, it's to cater to people who are already on the "random twitter site" and might want to see something about SC there. 3) I think that pro SC is important enough, and should be mainstream enough, to have its own Twitter page (hell, every other eSport/company/cause does). 4) I have 160 followers and each of the links I post gets around 50 unique clicks, so someone out there is using the account even if you can't understand why they would (hint: not every SC fan is a regular visitor to TL.net). 5) Even if all of the information I posted was available somewhere here on TL (it's not), the feed would still be useful as a "digest" of important things that are covered here. Why do people read PX? They can just come to http://teamliquid.net where there is more info etc etc, its such an arbitrary thing 6) Maintaining the feed is something I enjoy, so you're not going to dissuade me from it. | ||

EDIT: rofl at the video THE FAIL WHALE... win I understand your arguments and I agree on most of the points you make (I am also considering deactivating my facebook account). however, no one is sitting there with a gun to the side of your head ordering you to update twitter with useless shit. you don't NEED to update twitter with what you're having for dinner or whatever else, you update it with whatever the hell you want. Also, if you're not interested in what people do all the time, just don't follow them. Follow people you find interesting, or people that have interesting things to twitter (like Shawn Elliot, former 1up now working at 2k Boston, who updates with crazy links of whatever he finds funny on the web). | ||
