Its been a few days since signing up to Twitter so I've had a chance to sus it all out. Total waste of time like Facebook but better THAN Facebook....unless you like all the Facebook apps.
I fucking hate Facebook.
Twitter's great for talking shit real time to people you'd only otherwise read about or talk to in the comments of their blog. I talk to most the crew that come by here and we all spend the evening or day waffling shit while we're doing other stuff online. IT's great for organising stuff too. It's basically an instant messenger with one window for everyone.
On the negative side if you sign up to too many other twitters you'll get bombarded with spam - (as Uamada found out) - and you can't keep up. I wouldn't bother signing up to news feeds or shit like that. My suggestion is keep an eye on who follows you and block the spam. You don't get that many - like one or two a day - but if you let it get away you're gone.
The Tweet Deck is a download must. It's like a control panel for Twitter.
BUT, the plus side is finding the quirky feeds. I got this from SnoopDogg this morning.
"snoop d o double g i make that shit go bump bump"
If you didn't know you'd think it's Ghandi speaking. lol. Plenty of fake celebs out there too. So watch those. Do a little research on who THEY'RE following and you'll figure out if they're real or not.
I'm following Weird Al Yankovich too. rofl.

Just hooked up to it today, not sure what I think about it yet, like you gave facebook a chance and it was crap. I will give it a go for a bit and try and get my head around it, if not I will continue with the trusty blog!
ReplyDeleteLike anything it is what you want it to be. That's the good thing about Twitter, you've got the choice. Facebook, you don't.
ReplyDeleteI am so ridiculously hooked on Twitter it's not even funny. I'm relieved I don't have that option on my phone...yet.
ReplyDelete...not with three kids and my time commitments!
ReplyDeleteI think it is ok for the bloggies to keep up with each other, although any closer and more frequent contact could be hazardous to the welfare of the public, or dangerous to the environment, or both. But would be one dam good party.
ReplyDeleteI might venture forth one day but it still sounds like a teenage thing to me.
ReplyDeleteTherbs. It's a good way to get to know eachother. We don't sit round listening to Hannah Montana or anything.
ReplyDeleteyeah its not bad, but i reckon the fucker could consume vast amounts of what should otherwise be productive time, its got JS connotations in being able to talk straight way to people and listen to a stream of conversation, sumfin which that other piece of fucking crap does not have....Therbs..give it a whirl.
ReplyDeletelovin twitter - i get to throw out banal rubbish all day to people who aren't close enough to throw rotten fruit
ReplyDeleteFlinthart said it for me. No time.
ReplyDeleteI hate Facebook, too, even though I have an account. It's a pain in my ass.
ReplyDeleteAs for Twitter.. I'm on there, too. I haven't spent much time on it tho. I've hooked it up with my phone, and have posted a couple of updates, but that's the extent of it. I only have a few people following me and to be honest, I don't think they f'ing care what I'm doing.. hahahaha
You on as SD?.
