I'm going to open a Twitter account for myself and my site. I really hate Twitter but it may be a necessary evil in promoting my site. I am not a fan of it because most of the time it is lame posts about what you're eating for breakfast and crap like that. God forgive me for what I am about to do.

Twitter are like blogs and myspace . . . they are evils, but then again, you have to move with the times.
Good luck and may the Goddesses of the Internet guide you on your quest.

Sounds good, I should already be following you. But I still feel dirty for using this lame trendy service.

Twitter would be a lot cooler if it wasn't just randomly down for like 30m at a time. Also, if I sent tweets from my phone and they would actually show up in order, instead of the first one showing up like 6h after the fifth one.

After Syd joined Twitter I thought I might join. Then I went to the site, looked around, and actually wondered what I would use it for. It seems pointless, I gave up on all social networking sites years ago.

I agree Hawk...I didn't want to do it! I only did it because a lot of people use it and all. Please forgive me!

I tweet and... I love it.
I mostly do it so I can see when sites are updating and whatnot. I also like seeing what these people do when NOT on the internet. I dunno. I enjoy it more than most of these other SN sites.

Actually, I read it as being more about how much Twitter sucks ass, which it most certainly does. I guess you could argue with it being in Internets, but meh...

To me the concept of Twitter is really dumb. Do people really care what I'm doing at any given moment?

I know a few people that are interesting to me, so even if it's like "eating an ice cream", I'll still keep reading.

True, but it seems to have grown into a Twitter Hating Thread.

My apartment management company just started using Twitter. I fucking hate them, which makes me tend to want to hate Twitter.

Apparently you posted something "environ 4 heures ago". Do they really write it like that, or is it my internet that started translating words at random?

I always thought of Twitter as an improved version of AIM status messages I'd rather use AIM for.
Besides, I already caved into joining Facebook about a month ago. If only I can be bothered to you know, post actual pics.
