| i personally enjoy it because i love stalking people. i also love to "livetweet" the anime or tv shows i watch. but most of my timeline is filled with really retarded things. i just have fun with it. |
| None of my friends use Twitter anymore so whats the point :/ |
| I don't really see a point in using twitter... |
Matador said: I don't really see a point in using twitter... Quick select updates from people/groups you actually are interested in hearing what they have to say rather than scrolling through dozens of "baked a cake today", "its complicated" etc. |
 |
| I recently signed up to Twitter and still don't quite get it, but hey, it's fun. |
| I don't have any family or friends that use it. They do use facebook a lot, and posting a status on there is usually enough |

I use Twitter on my phone every morning to check the news and other updates, I have to admit it can be a very useful tool. However, I don't like how people seem to tweet about every little thing they do - the world will keep turning regardless of whether or not I've seen what you had for breakfast. I regard Facebook as a necessary evil, I would gladly close my account if it wasn't such a convenient way to keep in touch with people. |

It's like stored up memories of nonsense and things you give a damn about. |
 |
| I love Twitter. I use it as a news service of sorts, to keep up with things that I care about. |
| The same I think of every other form of social networking... Nothing. |
| I don't bother with it, nobody is important enough that I need to set up RSS feeds of their Twitter account or some shit. The pathetically small character count leads to nothing important ever being said, anyways. Just links to articles or pointless bullcrap about their daily lives. |
 |
| I think it's lame and a waste of time. |
| I agree, it's annoying with the character limit but other than that, I really like Twitter. |
| There is really no point of it to me. It's just separated status updates with a 140 character limit. I already get enough useless spam on facebook, that I use to talk to like 5 people. Also, the practice of putting hashtags on facebook needs to stop. I want to break my computer every time some idiot posts '#crap #like #this #aren't i cool and funny I can use hashtags that don't do aynthing #on facebook'. |

| Twitter is much better than I initially thought. Now I use it daily and it is a great for to come in contact with people sharing the same interest (eg anime). You have to throw yourself into Twitter to take a liking to it. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| eh its alright. i try not to get too deep into social networks. but the athletes i like have some pretty funny shit to say lol |
| this is my god damn signature. |
| Well, I use it mostly for getting informations about news from around the globe, and for news in my country, and I get informations about games, and some products :D |

If something I'm looking for is on Twitter, I'll be glad to go there, otherwise it's just something that's there. My mom and sister use it on a daily basis, but I could never understand it's appeal; whatever floats their boat I guess. |
| I have one, and use it rather frequently, but I'm not a big fan of the character limit. I use Facebook much more, probably because I have more contacts on that site. |
| Never used Twitter but I guess it might be helpful to get the latest news about a person/show/etc. . Might be better than facebook, I'm still not interested in using it. Facebook sucks btw, stopped using it months ago and I don't regret it. I rather use messengers such as ICQ or MSN to keep in contact with my friends. |
| i use it to follow artists |
| Awful. It's Facebook 2.0. |
| I like Twitter. I use it to: -follow deals from sites like Amazon -Follow news headlines -obtain support (more and more companies are using twitter to offer support, and sometimes it's quicker than going the official route. Also, I can b!tch about stuff and it's public by default, so these companies really pay attention) -just shout stuff out. To me, Twitter is not the same as Facebook. Facebook for me is for personal families and friends that I want to share personal stuff with. Twitter is where I share anything that can be public. |
| Useless for normal people with normal lives who have nothing special to announce or say. So, I guess only for famous or somewhat famous people who have something to announce or say to the whole world. Or his/her fans... |

pitilesscnsr said: Twitter isn't THAT bad. It proved useful during the Arab Spring. The thing with twitter is that it goes both ways. Yes, you can have real "journalism" with posts from real people on the scene. At the same time, people can made up posts, and you won't really know. It's dangerous to assume whatever being posted on twitter as factual news, which unfortunately more and more mainstream news media are doing, and they're too lazy to even do a bit of fact checking. |

LordMorioka said: I think you just described all forms of media. :P True, but look at a lot of recent news from the mainstream media. Many of them are talking about tweets as if they are already checked and confirmed. I mean if we cannot rely on the big news organizations to do their job, well, yeah.... |
| I have used Twitter for a long time. I can't quit it. Coz a lot of friends are there. |
| It's addicting. I've used it for a while now, and I use it to get updated on news, updates on anime, manga, and sports. I'm making it sound simple lol, but I really am addicted to it. |
 |
| I have an account but I don't use it that much. I only use it to follow bands and Noel Fielding, heh lol truth is I don't like it that much, especially the character limit thing and over all I find it pretty boring. |
| Fuck Twitter, Twitter is a liar. Twitter promised me free food and shit at SXSW in Austin last year and didn't deliver! Fuck you, Grubly or GoGrubly or whatever the fuck. And then I get their spam for months! Is spam their promised food? Twitter, Facebook... I hope this crap goes the way of CB radios and Napster and other idiot fads. Got a Smokey on the flip-side, buddy! Rubber duck, 10-4. |

Got a Smokey on the flip-side, buddy! Rubber duck, 10-4. CB is still widely used to this day. Hell, my bus driver used it this morning. Taxi drivers use it, truckers, bus drivers, and the like. As for me, I think Twitter is fine. I personally don't care for it, but I know people who love it, and they're content, and that's fine. |

Annoiato said: iWin101 said: itt: people who don't actually know what twitter is.I don't have a twitter account. Twitter is like a mini version of facebook. Actually, twitter is like a mini version of facebook. Twitter's main thing is doing the status posting saying what you're doing, which is one of the same main features of facebook. Twitter is just without the main focus on photos and such. That sounds exactly like a mini version to me. |
| Twitter is alright, follow company's for special announcements and I like to laugh at those funny RP accounts, dont really care for fb alll that much. |
