The Twitter Phenominon

Kiemyster · 07-06-2009, 02:30 AM

Twitter seems to be a pretty touchy subject. there are those who know what it is, there are those who dont, and there are those who dont and would like to keep it that way.

I wanted to just make a poll to see what people think of twitter, is it gay, or is it cool.

and yes, I voted gay.

(gay in this instance replaces no)

hl0m4n · 07-06-2009, 04:01 AM

gay...but once again the simpliest idea made the guy major $$$

MCMLXXXIX · 07-06-2009, 04:05 AM

i dont know much about it. only that apparently its just status updates?
seems lame and i do not want to know more lol

like i said in the other twitter thread: it's so you can feel important and think people actually care about what you do.

TwinTurboXI · 07-06-2009, 09:51 AM

It’s very gay, It’s been pushed and accepted by the news media much like the Obama phenomenon. (ya i said it)

i guess that's why i think it sucks...i don't give a shit what anyone else is doing.

FStop7 · 07-06-2009, 04:23 PM

It's what you make of it. If all you do is follow celebrities with it, it's lame. If you use it to follow updates from websites you read and to communicate with friends it can be pretty useful.

never even checked it out, never plan to.

Agreed. I mean if someone important to me is doing something major they would let me know. Other than that I don't give a shit what Ashton Kutcher or Carrie Underwood are doing.

Blake · 07-06-2009, 08:36 PM

if i had twitter, i doubt i'd have many followers.

9:03AM: i am taking a shit
10:30AM: i'm taking another shit
12:15PM: i just ate a burrito, i'll probably be taking another shit soon
2:37PM: 3 in one day, i'm on a roll
4:29PM: i just ate a bran muffin
6:40PM: you know what i'm doing

After reading this...if you had a twitter account I'd be a follower....thats f'n hysterical bro.....hahaha

Twitter is retarded....as Bimmer mentioned above...just another way for people to convince themselves that everyone around them actually cares what they are doing every waking minute of the day...please...its pathetic...I for one could care less.

Watch A Bronx Tale......Sonny said it the best......"In the end, no one cares."

gonzo · 08-25-2009, 11:38 AM

"Lonesome losers" IMO.

But hey, whatever. Knock yourself out.

TMI - but Id say get to a doc before your insides cave.

Spaceman Spiff · 08-25-2009, 03:17 PM

I don't know what you guys are talking about. I use Twitter to follow Paris Hilton and my other favorite celebrities and get the latest TMZ news. I would die without it.

Tondtar · 08-25-2009, 03:59 PM

What's a, "Phenominon"? ...You mean, "Fillet Mignon" ?

gonzo · 08-25-2009, 04:18 PM

And I think you mean "FiLet Mignon".

..and TWEter is still goofy.

how would you know if anyone is reading your twits? is there like a counter of how many pple visit your page? how does one person on twitter communicate with another person on twitter? twitter emails? or do you just tweet on your own page and communicate that way?

actually, i dont care to get the answers to these questions.
