    I heart twitter! cool app.

  • RaiSaix says:

    I’m sorry, but I would have to agree. Twitter is a somewhat pointless application, and wastes time better spent doing something real with your time, rather than fooling yourself with the notion that people actually care about what your doing every second of everyday.

  • ImOnTheTube says:

    Twitter is something that again shows the true face of our present society’s attention seeking unstable egos. We have to know everything about everyone so we can compare our lives to others just to see if were worth more, less or about the same. Is this really how we want to spend our time? Besides, live news feeds were invented a long time ago. If you have something important to say to someone you gain enough courage to meet them personally or at least give them a call. Absolute crap.

  • jellyboy123 says:

    the only reason twitter is what it is today because so many celebrates got twitter and you can stalk celebrates. Twitter will be a flash in the pan once the celebrates move the people will move with the celebrates. Trust me in 3 years time people will be say stuff like twitter omg that’s so retro . The future is video and live web cam feeds the faster internet will become the better quality live feeds will become.

    twitter is not for me

  • trevgoodchild says:

    I couldn’t care less about somebody dropping their phone in the W.C. But relying it on “Important Events Unfolding” can cause hysteria and confusion when the message is miss read. It’ll die like webcrawler & geocities. “-I’ve just yawned ” trev_goodchild 10:37am 11/06/09.
