| The whole fascination with twitter seems manufactured though. I don't know a single person, meatworld or online, who uses that crap. |

You sound like a pretty cool guy. Do you have a blog? |

Okay, so I just had a look at the Twatter site for the first time.
A few things:
Twatter needs a new web design team. The site is ugly. Also, does Spirit5 have a Twatter account?
| quote: |
Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?
|
Isn't that what telephones, text message and email are for?
| quote: |
Why? Because even basic updates are meaningful to family members, friends, or colleagues—especially when they’re timely.
* Eating soup? Research shows that moms want to know.
* Running late to a meeting? Your co–workers might find that useful.
* Partying? Your friends may want to join you.

If people want to know that I'm eating soup, then they should probably kill themselves; their life is already pointless. If I'm running late to a meeting, I can't think of any conceivable reason as to why I would use Twitter to get the word out. It's not like the people at said meeting are going to be sitting there checking their Twatter account, or that it wouldn't be quicker for me to call. If I'm partying, then I'm not near a computer, and if I did have a phone with internet access on it, it would have to be a ing boring party before I would pick up the phone to post on the web.
| quote: |
With Twitter, you can stay hyper–connected to your friends and always know what they’re doing. Or, you can stop following them any time. You can even set quiet times on Twitter so you’re not interrupted.
Twitter puts you in control and becomes a modern antidote to information overload.

This is the funniest section.
1. What the hell is "hyper-connected"?
2. Why would you want to "always know" what people are doing? As far as I'm concerned, my parents are virgins and always will be; I don't want to know they're having sex because Twatter says so. Also, who the hell has the time and the inclination to post their every action on Twatter? Lastly, "always knowing" would negate the need to ever meet people in person.
3. "Or you can stop following them." OR I COULD JUST NOT SIGN UP TO YOUR TY WEBSITE IN THE FIRST PLACE!
4. Ditto.
5. "Twitter puts you in control and becomes a modern antidote to information overload." Isn't this a communication tool, and one that promotes an "always on" mentality? One that wants us to know everything, always? How is that an antidote? Wouldn't it be better to disconnect your internet if you felt overwhelmed with information? |

My ex was obsessed with his twitter so much so he kept his iPhone on him at all times just so he could read the constant twitter updates (and believe me, they were constant, I think he had like 100-200 an hour). |
