If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

Twitter is mostly a place for people to promote themselves and their business. Depending on who you follow, you will either get senseless tweets such as "just landed in hagsville, zombieland" or valuable tweets on newsworthy events and happenings in your area.

Alas, most of those tweets just look like nonsensical BS no matter who they come from.

The allure of twitter completely escapes me. shrug

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

HotGritz ( falloff @ the handle BTW) reminded me of something that is increasingly pissing me off.

QUIT TRYING TO SELL ME STUFF!!

Ads everywhere, just shoved down our throats. If there is a blank space, an ad will be posted on it.

The bottom corner of the tv, painted on a boxer's back during a match, on and on and on.

I don't want to buy your crap!!!

Jim Rome has gotten into Twitter and reads Tweets on his radio show. But he starts each read with, "@JimRome - blah blah blah".

WTF? I know the Tweet is directed to Jim Rome. That's who's reading the Tweet! It's like he's saying, "RodeoSchro says to Jim Rome, blah blah blah". He doesn't need the "@JimRome" part.

I'm also tired of him saying hashtag this and hashtag that. Who cares what the hashtag is?

You aren't interested to know when I'm in line at Burger King?!? Or if I'm feeling grumpy or happy?????

Crap.

Anyway, I have a friend that owns a restaurant and will Tweet spur-of-the-moment specials. That's about the only good use for Twitter that I've heard.

It's truly overrated. I tweeted a bunch of nonsense in 2009 (that I'm right now starting to erase, erased a lot from last year too except for tweets from the last three months of last year).

I never got the appeal of Twitter either but i won't knock it.

Although i'm not Facebook crazy it's cool to jibe with some of

your friends and fam because let's be real you're not going to take

the time and call your peeps especially if your life schedule is busy.

It's quicker and easier to connect via Facebook.

One of things I love about Twitter are the tweets by fictitious villains. Cobra Commander and Voldemort are my favorites.

Lord_Voldemort7

Chris Colfer's message to kids told they can't do what they want because of who they are: "screw that, kids."#WelcomeToTheDeathEaters

Dear Kings of Leon, my sex is on fire. Unfortunately, it's fiendfyre. Quick question: What THE HELL DO I DO NOW??

CobraCommander

Bummed the Weather Dominator was only 49 out of 50 this week. I hate Florida.

Young William, expect a marked decline in bedroom performance when she isn't TRYING to become a princess anymore.

After Lebron's decision, Cobra Commander tweeted that he was in Cleveland passing out the pitchforks. I love this silly shit. lol
