what!? no.

god, no.

nothing deserves to be compared to Nickelback. Well, except for Twilight, Modern Warfare 2 and mayyybe Transformers 2.
 
People hate twitter? Why? It's like hating a messenger/neogaf hybrid, and I'm sure you use those two things.

Unfiltered brain farts? No intelligent discussion? (There's not even intelligent discussion on facebook. Everyone wants to be nice to their friends. Forums are the only place to have intelligent discussions. You can't say it compares to neogaf at all. ) Attention whores? People linking their myspce/facebook/twitter spamming useless things on all three at once?

Let me go look at a friend of mines twitter. I blocker her status updates on facebook. 30 posts in the past 24 hours. Useless shit.

Let me choose 5 people at random and see how many facebook status updates they made. 1-3 in the past 24 hours. Nothing thought provoking but it's nice to see what they have to say every other day. Knowing what's too much is the key.

There might be some funny stuff like "shit my father says". They could just as easily make a blog. And it's lost between the attention whores, people who say their kid is dieing, people twittering themselves fucking.

The hate is easy to understand.

Blogging became annoying for a while. "Read my latest blog on myspace!". Now, after the fad is over, they don't "blog!!!" anymore and beg people to read it. And the blogs with useful and interesting information still exist.

Penny Arcade sums up most people's hate of Twitter better than most people can express said hate.

People are annoyed by people who text too much and Twitter is an extension of this.

Everything has dumb people. If we judged GAF by the dumb people and LiveJournal posters, no one would like this place either. Penny Arcade uses Twitter for real anyway, so trying to use their comic for the discussion doesn't help.

Not everyone on Twitter posts useless crap. Actually, it's pretty useful to get sports information quickly, like while the press is at practice or training camp. Yeah, there's other ways to get that information to the public, but Twitter is what many of them have chosen to use, so that's why I use it.

If you'd like Twitter lessons, I can offer them to you at a reasonable fee. Imagine learning amazing techniques like "Blocking" people you don't want to have contact with or "Stop Following" tweets you think are useless. It may just open up a world of possibilities for you and melt away the hate which comes with ignorance.

You also have to count for the useless Farmville and Mafia Wars updates on Facebook.... 30% of my facebook feed is that shit.

Honestly, I enjoy Twitter more than Facebook. On Twitter I can check updates on rotten tomatoes, Streaming Soon, CNN, video games, my blogs, local events, coupons, and see what my friends are up too all in a matter of 2 minutes. Even if i'm on my phone.

And I can unfollow the shit I don't wanna see.

as long as grub isn't protected is pretty easy.

Gaining root access to *nix platforms sitting in front of them is quite easy I would say. Not a lot of people seem to care inside attackers :(

No. You can block specific apps from showing up. I haven't seen a farmville update in months.

No, you can hide updates from specific applications and still get their status updates.

My forum was hacked by Turkisk Cyber Army once. Pro tip : dont troll them once they already showed they can hack you. :lol

Anyway i actually like twitter, i never twit myself but it's a nice way to follow some people, especially some bands have some interesting stuff on there sometimes.
 
I say in retaliation the google team should hack there email. Or just ban it. That will show them!

Unless they thought that out already and its just a fake email, or redirects everything to anther account, like some sort of Swiss E-mail account

I think we need to use the internet's WMD(4chan) on their websites.

This is not just an attack on Twitter this is an act of war against the internet.

That's what I was thinking. People don't know how to use Twitter, it seems. I am following like 30 people, and I like to read what they have to say most of the time. If I didn't like them, why should I follow them? That's the whole point, jeez.

i'm in exactly the same boat. i don't really get the hate either. i guess it all depends on how you're using it.

It's funny that you're so proud of what you said.

I'm taking a stand against attention whores and dumb people communicating and tainting the internet on the internet by communicating on the internet because I can't communicate on the internet and express my annoyance by writing on the brick wall over there with chalk.

If you're against dumb people communicating on the Internet, why are you still here?
 
The whole idea of Twitter as a social networking tool is stupid, which is why I don't use it. It's only good for getting sports news and rumours as soon as the person tweeting posts it, or getting quick info from websites that you would otherwise have to read their blog to pick up. Like my Myspace account, I haven't been on Twitter in months (actually, I haven't been on my Myspace account for years :lol ).

Nothing's wrong with MW2, people just have weird ass expectations.

Why do you hate GAF so much?

EDIT: Liu Kang!!!
 
I like twitter as it lets me easily keep in touch with my friends back in NZ.

Also, it lets me quickly gather news. Yes, sometimes even faster than gaf.
 
The limited character thing is what has kept me away from twitter. And I like Nickleback

*runs and hides never to return to this thread.

Uhh? Yeah, there are stupid people, but I'm going to assume that there's noone with a gun to your head forcing you to read inane tweets. There's zero to be annoyed about unless you're forcing it on yourself, in which case you should probably just stop reading, I hear that works pretty well.

My apologies if someone actually does have a gun to your head.
 
While we're bashing communications systems, I have had it up to here with smoke signals. "I saw a bear shit in the woods!" So what, @squanto420, that's where they're supposed to.
 
You only follow who you want on Twitter so I fail so see why anyone would get so worked up about it. It's not just a social tool either, going as far as to say "I hate Twitter" makes you sound like a dunce.
