Twitter...
 

whats the point? why is it every where? why does it seem like the world is obsessed with it, and i cant understand why, nor do i know anyone who actually uses it? is this a 40 and up thing?

I feel the same way. I have a feeling it's owned by a pretty big company so they just spend a crap load of $$$ advertising it.

it's there to let attention whores be more obvious about it.

40+ ? No. Idk, it's another 'social networking' thing

yeah wtf i know exactly what ur talking about. its everywhere, i have no idea what it is, and i have no intention to get involved withit, and i know in a month or so ill be getting involved with it.

It seems to be popular everywhere except the US. The Brits love it.

g

yeah...fricken limeys...

ch5 news did a story on it at my firehouse cuz we use it to update our website...

personally i have no idea wat the point of it is

i never heard it

I know several towns around here are using twitter to update the community on things that are going on, such as why were there cops outside of some building, or any local fires, etc etc.

I dunno, I have been keeping an eye on it...

It's the "Next Big Thing" and nobody shuts up about it for two seconds. I joke about it at work, saying "Twitter was full" but only a few people get the joke.

Never been to the site, never plan on it. I barely even go on myspace or facebook anymore(I assume Twitter is just like that?).

no. i think it's an 18-25 thing.

As an update- it is a service where you can broadcast instant updates to your subscribers.

I have never been on the site, but my understanding is that it's basically an entire site just for facebook-like status updates.

Oh ok...I'm not important enough for people to want instant status updates on my life :rofl: Nor could I give a rats ass about anyone else. :D

That's what I figured, and that's why I can't figure out why it's everywhere. Seems like maybe they offered stock to companies that push them to be big, because I fail to see teh point.

I read recently that Twitter only has a 40% retention rate among new users after a month. So 60% of people are getting bored with it or find it useless pretty fast.

Yea I didnt get it at first...i think the novelty is you receive texts from people on your list about what their doing...lol...that being said I signed up few weeks back and havent went on since :mrgreen:

tweeter dee tweeter dumb
