I've always hated social networking sites, what with all the apps, photos, boxes, walls, gimmicks, notifications, requests, emails, blah, blah blah.
Last thing I thought I'd do was tweet.
Then realised that Twitter actually is the only social networking site I'd be interested in. I realised that all I actually want to do is say something interesting now and then to an audience, whether they be semi captive or devout.
I often think of stuff I'd say during the day, but because I live on my own, never have the chance to really say it at the moment - but now I can just pick up my phone and text a tweet to my "followers" as they're called.
So, although I absolutely hate all this social networking hype, Twitter, as a little simple functionality that it is, satisfies my needs.
Just pick a name and start tweeting 140ch long messages whenever you feel some inspiration! There's none of all this other additional rubbish the other sites have - just a username and your tweets. Simple - job done.
My twitter page is twitter.com/TheJepps.
Anybody else have Twitter? Let's see what you're tweeting about! _________________

Facebook is way better imo. All twitter is, is a status. Facebook you can write your status and do a whole bunch more. |

Using it as a status is rather retarded in my view, unless you have an intellectually focused need to update people on your progress with something.
I find it more interesting as a platform to share interesting thoughts, unique ideas or to broadcast interesting news or enlightening mini-rants.
For example, although I'm writing a book on much of my beliefs and theology, I have lots of other things to say, about many other things, but that aren't all related to the same genre, and so Twitter serves as the ideal platform to express these other thoughts without needing to write a novel about them. _________________

Lol! I just really don't see the point in telling people what you're doing all the time.
Next time you see them it will be like, "So what have you been up - oh. Yeah, you already said" . .. and you'll just sit in silence.
Besides, how on earth can you expect people to find every tiny little mundane detail about your life of any interest?
Just my view.  _________________

I never looked at it that way Sime that makes sense. I have used twitter before to follow celebrities or like a sports player or something like that. |

Twitter is better than Facebook. Too much junk gets added on FB. Twitter doesn't look so bad. In fact, I'm kind of enjoying it. _________________ -2nd Person to Join

It's a nice tool... think about it, if you have 500,000 followers "their are some" and you tweet about a product or some useful stuff, all your followers will have the opportunity to read your message, i'm sure that'll be worth something.
Besides twitter is NOT like facebook or myspace, twitter would compared to a enhanced sms.
You would have to be to think its for for contacting and socializing like face book. Come on who really want tweets from lance armstrong? Britney Spears? gaga I have a better tuned in life. Not that crazy about reading one line snippets from their lives. Unless its business related.

I haven't tried Twitter myself but because people like Stephen Fry have accounts it'd be interesting to read what they tweet. |
