I don't know about you but I'm sick of twitter. It seems to be the new Internet fad and everyone and their mothers is using twitter. It just looks like advertising in disguise and people fall right into it.

Doesn't bother me any. Gives me some deeper insight into the sports world straight from athletes. I'm all for that.

It's one of the dumbest trends to date. Seriously, who needs to comment on what you are doing, and know what others are doing at all times of the day.

I just can't get into it. For some reason I don't care when a celebrity is taking a crap.

I'm not 100% certain what it is. From what I've heard, it's sort of like a blog that auto-notifies people whenever you make a new entry?

I think they're limited to word or character count, as well, so it encourages the use of... shortened words and spam.

Weird. Why would they do that? Does the notification go to more than just other users on the site? i.e. cell phones or whatever?

Er if you don't like it why don't you just not go on it? It's not like Twitter knocks on your front door every day to tell you how awesome it is :| I really don't like people who are like "OMG that's such a fad so I hate it" - they're worse than people who like things just because they're popular. I use Twitter because it gets my site more traffic as I can post quick ads about new posts and stuff. It's a simple, easy system and no profile rubbish :)

I think Twitter is an evil alien plan to brainwash humans after cable TV failed.

Does twitter limit how many characters you can use per twit? Does that make the past-tense of twit, ****? I used to **** all the time, but now I only twit a couple of times a week?

Funny. "Using" twitter is called "tweeting". So you would tweet, not twit. There is a character limit. I think it's 190? I don't recall. I chose, "No, and I wish people would shut up about it." People talk about it all the time. Grr. If you like it so much, use it to tell people who care and stop telling me!

Never used Twitter, but apparently it randomly became popular because a bunch of celebrities use it.

Lmao nice try :lol: And yes there's a character limit so it's just for posting small updates. I also get to see amusing updates from Bill Bailey and catch up with anything new that Frugal Gaming has - there's lots of people on Twitter that find good bargins online and post them, it's good time saving for you :)

ROFL, how are you sick of it? If you hate it so much then stop visiting the site. It will totally vanish from your world.

Eh just because you dont get it or have any use for it doesn't mean its crap. The studios, networks, producers, and people I follow on it don't use facebook. I use it for work. Its great to get real time updates for my job direct from the source while they are on location. I would rather find out that stuff NOW rather than TOMORROW in the trades.

I find twitter to be annoying and I really dont care about what most of my friends are doing on a min to min basis...and if I did, I would probably just talk to them rather than read thier "tweets". (PS...I hate that word too)

Awesome Avi + Sig! Oh, I don't really care for it, but how they advertise it, as being the in thing, while other things are far better :x To me, Twitter is like a Facebook status, without the rest of Facebook, it just gives a chance for people to feel important if anyone tracks them

I don't understand the point of it, but I don't mind the general public using it as a social networking kind of thing. I think it's gotten out of hand now though. The NHL just had their draft and free agency starts on Wednesday, so the past few days have been filled with trade rumours and such. Now websites and journalists are using twitter to post possible trades lol.

I use twitter (a lot) but I can't justify it at all. The whole thing is pretty self-indulgent, but hey so am I. I hate the people who post everything "going to the grocery store." "My couch is uncomfortable." But lots of comedians are on it, and use it to pass on one liners or make observations and those are always pretty entertaining.
