twitter, thumbs up or down? Options

i got addicted to it ;o. i'm one of those losers who likes the fact that i could horde my away messages in one unified site. LOL.

[dustbunny]

it was fun for a while, but since I only knew 3 people that used it, the fun didn't last long...

[tokyo-rose]

i got addicted to it ;o.

joe picked up epik high's latest album & plans to go back for gummy, lexy, drunkin tiger, and mc mong when AM korean music man restocks ;]

Epik High! And I see Big Bang mentioned, too. I need to buy something from AM Records soon; I hope your boyfriend didn't buy the whole store out. :P

[Ihate]

What is it?

[lkajsfklajskds]

i tried it, but nobody else did.
ergo, thumbs middle.

[*paperplane*]

I use it, but I'm still not entirely sure of the point.

[queen]

^i used to think i had no use for it, then i realized it's another place i could record my day without having to write an entire entry on a blog.

Epik High! And I see Big Bang mentioned, too. I need to buy something from AM Records soon; I hope your boyfriend didn't buy the whole store out. :P

lol, we always manage to go there when everything's sold out. then we have to decide if we really want something enough to make him go order a new batch. ;x i like that old man though. he's nice.

[heyo-captain-jac...]

I tried it. It was awesome at first, but nobody knew about it, and that ruined the fun. It was completely useless.

[Foudroyant]

I tried it. It was awesome at first, but nobody knew about it, and that ruined the fun. It was completely useless.

Yeah none of my friends use it. I tried it and gave up because it was pointless if none of my friends were using it.

[tokyo-rose]

lol, we always manage to go there when everything's sold out. then we have to decide if we really want something enough to make him go order a new batch. ;x i like that old man though. he's nice.

I've read that he gives you a free poster every time you buy something. Is that true? I want DBSK, Epik High, and Big Bang on my walls. D:

[queen]

^lol where did you read that? that sounds a lot like my friend, who he gave the last se7en poster to (right after the concert) 'cause we are frequent visitors, while he denied the other 10 girls who wanted a poster who he doesn't know. and if you ever saw that mtv trl se7en video where he hugged a shy girl in a green hoodie, that's her LOL.

but yah, i think he just favors people who come in there often.

anyway, to put this back on topic:
i <3 twitter ;o. i think it'll be the next big thing. just like how i think tumblr is the next big thing. this is basically how xanga started up, with no one knowing wth it was before exploding into what it is now.

[ANG33ZY]

idk but i always put "nothing" for my status.

[JokeInsideJoke]

What is it?

[libertie]

I used to get really obsessive about texting in updates at random times. It'd be something stupid, too, like "getting ready to take a shower" or "haha brushing my teeth". Don't use it anymore.

[hi-C]

I just started twittering. So far it's kinda cool.

[nikx618]

pretty boring, since idk anyone on it.
&also, MYSPACE STATUS is like exactly the same along with the FB status. same thing. so, im like w.e.

[mackenziee]

I've never heard of it, or used it until now.

[*paperplane*]

I like it now that I have a group of people that uses it. I thought it was pretty dumb at first, but it's cool.

[applejaxkz]

it was fun for a while, but since I only knew 3 people that used it, the fun didn't last long...

Agreed!
I use it and like it. But I have only about 20 people that are following and vice versa. I don't bother with it as much as I use to.

[Simba]

The heck is this ish again? Anyone here use it?


Pretty sure there was a topic on this too, but that junk is oldddddd

Its like f*cking facebook status updates except you are encouraged to update every 2 seconds.

f*ck

[*paperplane*]

I know it's weird, but I'm in a club that uses it, and it's good for bonding. We end up talking to each other and getting to know each other a lot more than we would otherwise. It's kind of cool.

[Harp]

i just made one...
i'm pretty confused.

[*paperplane*]

I'd use twitter, but I'm the kind of person that starts off pumped and then just kinda dies off... (no thats not what she said)

[superstitious]

I use mine religiously.

[LittleMissSunshi...]

i heard of it, but what is it exactly? lol (x.

[smoke]

I like it. Only 'cause I have a Twitter app on my iPhone. That makes it really cool. I just use it for news though. I use Facebook for friends.

[hi-C]

i heard of it, but what is it exactly? lol (x.

Think of it as a site just for Facebook statuses.

[LittleMissSunshi...]

ehhh, that's stooopid ):>

[xoxo_proud]

I've never used it but I feel like I wouldn't like it. I mean I hardly update my Facebook and Myspace status.

[*paperplane*]

That's not really what it is; that's just the quickest way to describe it. It's more microblogging. And it can be fun. Yes, it seems dumb, but once you get into it it's pretty cool.

[xoxo_proud]

Maybe I'll try it. I'd have to get some of friends into it though.

[Joanne]

It's nice to follow Greg Grunberg and hear what he has to say, though. =]

[Simba]

wish kanye would make his twitter public

[fameONE]

Look at my facebook status.

[mipadi]

I can't really see Twitter as anything more than a gimmicky novelty.

It really only seems to fill two niches:

1. As a way for people to let others constantly know of their statuses.
2. As a form of "microblogging", in which people post their personal thoughts (similar to how most people use Facebook statuses).

#1 is clearly narcissism in its purest form. Most people's lives -- including my own -- are so boring that I'd be embarrassed to post a constant stream of updates to the web.

#2 is a bit more interesting. As as avid blogger myself, I see great power in being able to publish your thoughts. At times I feel like a bit of a narcissist for keeping a blog, but if a blog is entertaining, then it's fun for other people to read, and not really narcissistic. The problem with Twitter, though, is that there's a limit to the length of these so-called "microblogs" -- 140 characters, if memory serves. Unless you're writing haiku, it's pretty damn hard to say anything really interesting in 140 characters or less, so I don't really see Twitter as an engaging blogging platform -- and in that sense, it is kind of narcissistic. (Plus, you can't respond unless you, too, have a Twitter account.)

But maybe I'm just too old for this shit.

[brooklyneast05]

yeah for real, i agree. i don't think anyone cares to know my status all the time. i don't care to know anyone elses status really. i don't even understand the concept of status messages.

if people wanna use it like a blog i think they should just get a tumblr or something. that's quick easy blogging but with no character limits or things like that.

[superstitious]

I use it all the time. Mostly twitterfox at home, text messages during the day.


I'm having deja vu. I think I've typed something like this before.

OHHH found it in the Dear Facebook thread.

^Well, that certainly is a nice feature (updating status via Twitter) BUT, I also love the continuous streaming of TwitterFox. I wish more friends of mine used Twitter. I'd love a massive TwitterFoxing during a Lost episode, for example.

@Michael, I had similar thoughts at first, but I've found that the live feed is pretty nifty (via twitterfox). I know that there are other ways of doing this and that it is borderline chat, but it also updates Facebook as well. I've grown rather fond of Twitter simplicity and I've found that just by having the constant twitterfox stream going, I've learned quite a bit about people (and some celebrities as well, mostly comic book writers).

[gojira]

it's just a fun way to spam. i don't like to update my facebook status often, so i do it on twitter. but you got me, i love myself.

http://twitter.com/yokothebear

[queen]

microblogging on a regular blog just doesn't feel the same. there's more pressure to write a well-thought, properlly edited blog on a regular blogging service than there is to write a two sentence update on twitter. it's not just to satiate our narcissitic needs; sometimes, people just don't want to say much. that doesn't mean that their twitters are useless; in fact, most of the people to whom i've subscribed actually have meaningful updates, whether it's about a sale or coupons for certain stores, or a short review on the latest concert they've attended, or how a certain item has been sold out so don't bother trying, etc. twitter is for the stuff you don't really want to put on a blog, yet you don't want to have to copy and paste to 20 different instant message windows.

I use it, its great if you have it linked with facebook and your blog. I also got the plug in for it on Firefox. Normally i do nothing... but its not like i twitter that I'm sitting down, texting, or anything like that.

for anyone that cares. mines is twitter/blaqheartedstar

[*paperplane*]

I really dislike it when people link it to their facebook. Especially when their tumblr posts go to their twitter, their tweets and their tumblr tweets to go facebook...it's completely excessive.

[illriginal]

I've been hearing about Twitter all week... gotta check what that's all about.

[hi-res]

It's rather pointless. I recently started using mine again after neglecting it for months. I don't how much longer I will keep it up, it's starting to seem like a waste of time updating it with random things that I know most people don't give a shit about.

[illriginal]

Meh... found nothing too interesting. It'll die (or die down) in about 3-5 years just like myspace.

[Melie]

using it

someone teach me how to use it. i've had an account, but i was finally able to set it up so that i get text messages from it. now what?

[hi-C]

Now that you have that set up, you can text updates to twitter. You know, like how you would send a regular text. If you receive a tweet via your phone and you want to reply to it, don't forget to @(username) so they'll get your response.

[dreamer8]

lol they were talking about ophrah having a twitter on this radio station i listened to one morning, and said if ophrah has a twitter it's not cool anymore, and we all should find something else.

Kiera, what's your user?

[Gigi]

I have one, like it, but never use it. I don't much like reading other people's updates either...sometimes it's just TMI or, I-don't-really-care.

The only Twitter I really look forward to reading is Tina Fey's.

[Joanne]

^ Apparently Tina Fey's is a fake. Rainn Wilson tweeted about it angrily a while ago and Michael Buckley LOL'd at him, saying he's known for months. Yeah.


I actually haven't checked my Twitter updates in a while. Hmm...

[Gigi]

WHAT? That really sucks. Because her tweets are amazing.

Good Tina Fey imposter.
