I've seen twitter getting more and more popular..everyone is chirping and tweeting like those damn birds on my roof that wake me up every morning. Am I the only one that really has no interest in twitter? I don't really care what anyone else is doing enough to basically cyber stalk them. Which is pretty much what twitter is all about, really. Anyone else feel the same or am I alone here?
Twitter? How about...no

Twitter is bullshit, but consider this, I thought myspace was bullshit too and then we got facebook which was actually cool. So maybe there'll be a cool twitter soon.
Also, lol@corporations, goddamn the admen are SUPER into twitter.

How many times do we need to have this thread? Nobody's forcing you to go to Twitter.

It's just another method of networking. Those looking for jobs would be wise not to reject any avenues before they give it a chance. As it is, it's just an open-roomed single person instant messenger. Not terribly productive outside of having another method to find the content I'm interested in.

This is how I feel about facebook and myspace. I use twitter but if I didn't like it I would not go there and be bothered by it. The OP seems to have issues with Twitter that makes him visit the website and become bothered with it.

Twitter is just the blogging equivalent of masturbation.

Twitter is the worst thing ever. My damn wife is obsessed with following celebrity twitter accounts.

Can we have just one giant Twitter thread instead of a new one every 2 weeks?

so you hate that twitter is popular? How would you know people are using twitter if you do not have twitter yourself? I really do not see how this impacts your life if you just ignore twitter. I hate myspace so I do not use it nor do I have an account there so therefore it does not bother me.

Here's the thing that many people fail to understand, historically speaking:
Almost everything that is interesting, useful, productive, or worthwhile, began its existence as a toy, experiment, or something bizarre that people at the time thought was pointless or useless.
Twitter is just the newest toy on the internet that has qualities which charm a lot of people, so they're playing with it. It's not particularly useful in any major way right now.
Of course, like all such things, there are plenty of people who are just so concerned with what other people are doing with their time (almost in a... stalkerish... way... interesting...) that they can't help but fume over what people are playing with on their own time!

And yes you're completely alone on this. No one else in the world dislikes Twitter but you.

Did GAF do this for every other social networking thingy?
It's an RSS feed filled up with people of your choosing. If that doesn't appeal to you, super.

I hope you're right.
Sure, we don't have to go there if we don't like it for now. Just like Facebook and MySpace before it, if your friends are there you eventually get dragged in kicking and screaming. I personally hate that I have a Facebook page, but I caved in because so much social discussion / planning in my circle was happening there.

Me: "Huh?"
Them: "Well, if you were on Facebook you would've known that."

Do you realize how sad it is for someone to "hate" that they have a Facebook page?
Stop pretending to be bothered by something so you have something to complain about. Don't like it? Don't make it. No one forces you to.
Either you get with the times or you don't. It's up to you. Just don't complain as if these sites exisiting somehow affects your life.

If you wanted to know what people were thinking about the Lost season finale as it was happening, you would have searched "lost" that night to find out.
Twitter is the current events/word search to Google's web/image search.
If you don't find that useful or you hate it, that's cool, but don't act like posting on and reading GAF is any better.
