I have two issues with the whole idea of Twitter. First, if all you're doing is posting short little bursts of information about what you're doing at the moment, you're not actually doing anything at all. Second, who actually believes that anyone else really gives a damn what you're doing every moment of your day?

If I ever got into tweeting, I'd write a script that would send out precisely this, once every 13 minutes.
I cite irreconcilable differences.

Twitter sounds like a nightmare to me. I've never even looked at the site. And I hate that major networks like CNN feel the need to tweet. And then read people's opinions on TV. What a waste.

Did you know that Ashton Kutcher and CNN recently had a concept to see who could get ONE MILLION Twitter followers first?

I believe they've both hit the mark.

That's right, ONE MILLION PEOPLE want to know what Ashton Kutcher is doing and thinking every moment of every day.

"Ashton Kutcher"....."thinking"

Do not belong in the same sentence.

Hell, they don't belong in the same universe.

Huh?

I know I should know what it is, but I can't bring myself to give a toss. This might be the beginning of me turning into my dad, who questioned the usefulness of the internet. You know what? I don't care any more. I can still program VCR's.

You don't have to use twitter to broadcast the minutae of your day. It's just a blog with a length limit. I think it's kind of a cool concept, there is something to be said for forced brevity.
As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good?

No, not interested. If it weren't for the fact that the name 'twitter' sounds so incredibly stupid and lame, I might even have a look (assuming I could figure out how). As it is however, no way jose. I've got quite enough ways to waste my time, thank you very much.

I hate seeing news programs refer to things being said on twitter; we saw that in our last election here.

George, can you remember that youtube piece you posted about this a few weeks ago? I can't recall what it was called....flutter? It was hilarious.
