I wouldn't mind it and how its marketing/site is hideously web 2.0 so much if I didn't have to be reminded of it at least once a day. The idea is ingenious, and I'd probably use it, but fuck.

But no, just last night, before going to bed after purposely trying to avoid all mediums that would remind me of it--be they TV, radio, internet, newspaper, and 70% of the people I know--my filliings became aligned with some am radio station and started beaming some talk radio show where some old guy was going on about what the kids are doing on Twitter these days.

Fuck.

This sounds far more interesting than the fact you're sick of hearing about twitter.

The real seat of US power is now "Twitter." Nobody would ever expect THAT shit.

They gained control of america by embedding hidden flash audio files of bird tweets that reverberated in people's fillings every time they opened a twitter page and hypnotized them.

Im kind of sick of your crappy threads.

Fuck Twitter.
Teacher shows student his "O" face.
Am I the only guy who doesn't enjoy the thought of anal?
So my cousin is convinced that vaccines cause autism
Official "fuck Valentine's Day" thread of bitter singles
Your favorite kind of Hot Pocket?

 

[Tyrone Slothrop]

i'm actually pretty concerned about the whole twitter/facebook/myspace phenomena... i don't have any accounts there because i like my privacy, even from close friends. so i hope five years or so from now these things don't become socially mandatory

One man's garbage is another man's gold.

Should paste the first 5 of your last threads and put my bias on them and be like "HAH I totally taught him whatever subjective thing there!," but I'm far too lazy.

I never did get into the twitter thing, it's easy enough just to avoid it.

Twitter needs to change its layout, its an absolute mess to read. Its like someone is on stage giving out annoucements, then suddenly gets a phone call but you can only hear his side of the conversation.

 

[{Mike}]

How about Twitter, but image based?

There, another million value website

They're like melding their intelligences with the greater stupidity of humanity. Stupid people are more noticed than normal people because you don't ever get a good look at someone and think "man, he's being SHOCKINGLY normal, holy shit" so that melds with everything and makes everything an idiocracy.

But, whtaever, not like I don't use em too. To hell with it, Ow My Balls lokos funny.

I agree with this sentiment.

Twitter has a website?

Settings -> "Show me [all @ replies | @ replies to people I'm following | no @ replies]"

Or just click the "in reply to" text under any @ reply to see the post it's replying to.

This. I find Twitter infuriating.

 

[kaizoku]

I can tweet that I am running late for work or that I have a drs appointment the next day so will come in late and my bosses and coworkers all know about it.

twitter is a fuck awesome business tool and should be embraced by all.

I cant wait til it replaces SMS, that shit is out dated already AND costs money.

twitter + iphone3g is almost as good as SMS/MMS replacement. FUCK YEAH!

 

[McBacon]

Twitter has a website?

I don't use Twitter enough to download applications for it.

Settings -> "Show me [all @ replies | @ replies to people I'm following | no @ replies]"

Or just click the "in reply to" text under any @ reply to see the post it's replying to.

I don't want to hide the replies, and I don't want to have to root through the website to find the conversation. Just split up conversations and messages to independant parts of the page.

Man, you know what I hate? When other people like things. Nothing ruins something cool for me faster than when it starts making other people happy.

I never follow anyone I don't know personally.

That ends tonight.

 

[vatstep]

Yay, another Twitter thread.

The site seems to have exploded in the past couple of months, though. Suddenly, even co-workers of mine, who aren't very web-savvy, are all over it.

Its the real and true Christopher Walken?

 

[Dementia]

Is Twitter really that popular? I've never used it, and I honestly don't even know what it does.

I blame that annoying guy on CNN

I know. I knew about twitter like a year ago but I thought "who would actually use that thing". I was so wrong =/

"Avoiding the internet for a few days until the bulk of the BSG chatter has passed. (I'm still on season 2)."

Someone should make a Twitter account called "Spoilitter", who @replies people when they say outloud on the internet that they don't want spoilers for certain things.

You're just asking for trouble.

The design is that there isn't one to make you use it in any certain way. Twitter isn't meant to tell or show people how to do something with it. It's the users that make of it what they want. If you really need reply threads, the API is there for applications to piece them together and present Twitter in that way, and for users to use it that way.

Twitter letting users do what they want with it is probably the best design decision they've made. Look at how Facebook has to deal with making changes to their site and how the shit starts flying once users are forced to use it in a way they don't like.

[McBacon]

Would be a good start....

 

[ScientificNinja]

I recently read a marketing study that puts the main 'audience' of Twitter at 35-49 year-olds, which I'm not quite old enough for. I think this goes a long way towards explaining why I have zero interest in Twitter.

 

[VeritasVierge]

Yay, another Twitter thread.

It's on the ABC News right now. Story of how people (mostly public figures) who twittered too much info and are getting in trouble. Including a juror of some lawsuit case and now lawyers are looking to over throw out the case because of what was mentioned on twitter. I loled at the publicist of Fed Ex who said he'd die if he lived in Memphis and now Fed Ex is pissed because that's where they are head quartered.

 

[starchild excalibur]

pretty much

 

[Aurora]

Twittering stems from a lack of identity. It's a constant update of who you are, what you are, where you are. Nobody would Twitter if they had a strong sense of identity.

I pretty much agree with him.

 

[Ganhyun]

You should check out Christopher Walken's twitter.

 

[Liu Kang Baking A Pie]

cwalken is fake, and I can't imagine how anyone that's read even one post from it could consider that it isn't.

 

[MNC]

I don't know how the fuck I would decipher it and read anything on that site.

 

[Ganhyun]

How do you know its fake? Reading the tweets on that page remind me of Walken very much. Especially if u read it aloud. Reads just like Walken has been known to say things.

Edit: Even if it is fake, the tweets are funny.
