For now, f*** Twitter! I deactivated my account today.

It's for the best. I almost never use the son of the bitch anyway.

And to be dead honest, Twitter is only useful for celebrities and/or small business owners anyway. Otherwise, the children, teens, and even immature adult use Twitter to argue and gossip about bullshit.

If you're convince that I have it all wrong, please reply to this thread. But for the time being, f*** Twitter!

OK, rant over.

I totally agree with you. I have a twitter account that I RARELY use. I really don't see the significance of having one @ all right now either....

I still have a Facebook account that I don't use very often. But at least I can use the FB search engine in trying to find friends, allies, relatives, and so forth. But I never post up any pictures of myself at all (thank goodness!!!).

I try to give Twitter a fair chance. But that site is flooded with attention whores. disbelief Seriously, do I really need to know who is eating a sandwich or who is having a personal feud with other people?

Facebook is cool. I just don't see the big deal in twitter right now....

Like anything else, Twitter is a tool and it's all in how you use it. AFAIC, Twitter is the very best thing on the Internet and I would drop Facebook, the Org, and everything else before I even dreamed of dropping Twitter. It's informative, funny, and full of interesting people.

man you must be having a bad day today. I was thought you had good posts on the non-prince music section. I was nice to hear about something other than Madonna or MJ. hopefully you stay around on the org. It has been a bit boring lately. Hopefully it will pick up in 2012.

I don't have facebook or twitter, so I think I can understand why you quit Twitter. I just don't understand the big deal about all these sites (and no, I'm not old at all). I heard earlier this week about some teens who broke into a store in their neighborhood, stole a lot of stuff and....you guessed it....posted pics of everything on facebook. They were arrested within hours of it. Pretty stupid right?

falloff I was thinking the same thing.

I anxiously await Tony's "The USPS is Bugging My Mail So I Blew Up My Mailbox and then Moved!" thread.

No offense, Tony.

I use twitter in a completely different way. I follow my fav news sites for easy daily recap. In one foul soup I have all the headlines. I never @someone - INSTEAD I post current thoughts or memos (which is to myself). Therefore it becomes a place to go for up to the minute news AND reviews of my comments. It's interesting to reflect on. And I'm not registered under my name - so - it's only 4 me.

There's a lot of crap on Twitter, but a lot of it depends on who you follow.

I see it as a quick and easy way of getting the latest news. I don't mean news about who hates who, but actual news. BBC, CNN, etcetera.

If you're mad about Twitter being full of crap it's because you follow people who are full of crap. No? lol
