WTF is so good about this Twitter crap? Everybody raves about it like if its the best thing since the freaking wheel but it seems like yet another pointless and waste of time craze like Myspace.

I go in, put my name..What? I am supposed to write what i am doing now? WTF??? I am supposed to look for people through it and chat to them? Its that it? This sucks.

Twitter serves two extremely distinct purposes: Pushing and Pulling. Clearly, you are not a pusher. Neither am I. I don't really have much to say, nor do I have much of an audience to say it to. However, I am a Puller. There are others who do have something to say that I find worth reading.

Anyone following me (there are about 6 or 7) is completing wasting their time.

For TF-related stuff, I follow Derrick Wyatt, Vangelus (he's funny), BBTS (for stock updates), Paulbot (he can give his own link if he desires) and TFWiki and I had a saved search for any posts (tweets ) tagged with the phrase "#botcon" during Botcon. It was a great way to get real-time info. I have about other 20 or so people or companies I follow related to some of my other interests.

I'm a big RSS user. I have a dedicated RSS reader on my Mac and on my phone that sync between each other and a web-app. RSS is basically a full-featured Twitter not limited to 140-characters (or more aptly, Twitter is just a micro-sized version of RSS, hence the phrase micro-blogging). The 30 people I follow on Twitter get aggregated to 1 RSS feed in my list of 230. It's just yet another way to aggregate and ingest content.

I would not recommend it to anyone not already into RSS style ingesting. It's RSS/blogging, not chat. And yeah, ignore the hype.

Me? For TF-related stuff? Well yes, sometimes I may tweet about TFs, but half the time I'm going on about the stuff I vented about earlier in this thread.

Just wanted to offer a relevant local.

Through all the hype, its just a simplified version of Facebook. So as Kup put it, WTF?

[jaydisc]

I don't see how it's similar to facebook at all.

Well the way I see it is that you go onto Twitter to say whats on your mind and thats it. Whereas Facebook you do the same but it has all these other things u can do.

I just want to vent as I had a heated talk with my dad. I've just finished building my house and there were a few changes I would of liked that council wouldn't approve. The arrogant SOB told me he could of changed them because of he knows and I'm too stupiod to talk to people properly to get the backhander deals that he gets.

In some cases the worse one can do is listen to your father - Trust me I know.

Measure your accomplishments based on your own efforts and results not what someone else 'may have' been able to do.

I'm getting a puppy from my cousin's friend, and every time I ring up to ask when I can pick the dog up, she always says in another week. I've rang 3 times, and every time she says In a couple of days, then it's a week ect. The dogs are 8 Weeks old, and have finished drinking thier mother's milk. I don't see why it's taking so long
