I've been talking to some people about how Twitter is actually useful in some way, but I can't seem to make myself believe it.

Do you use it? And if so, do you say anything more weighty that "hate standing in line!" or "chicks=hot"

Let's hear about those meaty tweets!

Sometimes being a mother can be so hard!--Reese Witherspoon

hmm, maybe orgers are smarter than I thought

I've got a load of total strangers following me now, so I don't dare post anything!

everyone loves girls! Nobody cares about me

eh, but you don't mind people reading your personal stuff here?

I have a twitter account - but I hardly ever use it. I don't really see the point.

true
but I can say whatever I want here, in a context, in as many characters as I want to use, about relevant topics. Over there I would have to come up with some witty succinct anecdote and I get stagefright

ZombieKitten said:

the character limit seems gimmicky more than anything. Who lives a life of constant headlines?

NDRU said:

not me!!!!

My friends on twitter are the same. They signed up & promptly ignored it.

Facebook was another story. I dismissed it initially but actually it's a cool concept & great format.

ZombieKitten said:

"Not me!!!!" There's a sweet tweet right there!

NDRU said:

would this fit in a tweet?

Max said "mummy I'll take a picture of your neckalace" then ran off "look daddy! a picture of mummy's boobies!!!!"

ZombieKitten said:

that could be a two part-er in honor of the subject matter

NDRU said:

ZombieKitten said:

bottom line: That's some top twit.

Genesia said:

My point excatly, I do not think people want to know my daily ramblings. The only one patient enough to hear my rants and raves all day long is my husband, sweet dear.

and if he's anything like mine, he doesn't want to hear any of it, and would rather I tell complete strangers on the internet

ZombieKitten said:

he'll listen and even has me convinced that he is paying attention, but sometimes I'm not so sure!

NDRU said:

i signed to it mainly to get updates from certain celebs/networks. sometimes i do exchange messages with friends, but i rarely ever leave a message stating what i'm doing.

PaisleyPark5083 said:

does he sometimes ask you the same question 3 times in one day?

one thing that's funny about it is that it showed some celebrities aren't really as busy as they pretend to be

ZombieKitten said:

No, that would be me.

PricelessHo said:

I thought movie stars just sat around in trailers all day! At least now they can tweet

you should try john mayer i like him and all but i just had to unfollow him. the guy just kept pushing my other updates down to the billionth page it wasn't even funny.

though luckily him and Kelis (another horrible experience) aren't friends over there or else the server would've crashed by now

I love Twitter! The character limit is so tweets can be text messaged to phones. As for usefulness, I find loads of cool and/or informative links. It's also already the de facto standard for breaking news. All the important news stories spread through Twitter for hours before the news media catches up.

My tweets are poetic emo rambling. Someone I knew in r/l I had on there actually complained and stopped following me.

Other than that, I mostly use it to try and hit on Kaley Cuoco.

nah, i don't fucks with it...

My tweets are generally links to my blog.
