Do you tweet?

Jumped on the bandwagon rather late but wondering if anyone else on PH does and if so, why/what for?

I had a quick look and decided it was a load of old crap and have never been back, just can't see the point in it.

It's a website where you have to tell the world what you are doing every waking minute.

e.g.

SomeMoronOnlineOnTwitter: It's 0830 and I just woke up
SomeMoronOnlineOnTwitter: It's 0845 and I'm about to go for a shower
SomeMoronOnlineOnTwitter: Just had a shower, now going for a dump.
SomeMoronOnlineOnTwitter: Having breakfast before going to work
SomeMoronOnlineOnTwitter: On the tube, sitting next to a smelly person
SomeMoronOnlineOnTwitter: Got into work
SomeMoronOnlineOnTwitter: Booted up computer, now twitting from work machine
SomeMoronOnlineOnTwitter: Having lunch in 5 mins
SomeMoronOnlineOnTwitter: Had pasta for lunch
SomeMoronOnlineOnTwitter: Finished work, heading home
SomeMoronOnlineOnTwitter: On tube, hafl-way home
SomeMoronOnlineOnTwitter: Now Home
SomeMoronOnlineOnTwitter: Watching tele
SomeMoronOnlineOnTwitter: ABout to go to bed

Repeat ad infitum, or until you have completely died inside..

I signed up for facebook some time ago. A friend invited me on saying it was really good, so I thought I would give it a go.

I think I only used it twice, social network sites just don't do it for me.

What is the difference between facebook and twitter anyway. Oh, and what happened to friendsreunited?

Surely then it would be

08:45 I am on twitter
09:00 I am on twitter
09:15 I am on twitter

ad infinitum.

twitter just seems to be status updates on facebook - but a bit more accessible I think.

It's a modern way for attention wes who think they are interesting to get more attention from cyber stalkers who are sad and have no life.

Seem to remember reading somewhere that the name was an acronym like tell when (or what) I'm talking travelling eating reading. That's about all the contact I've ever had with it and ever likely to.

I've not even looked at this, but I'm sure I'd go round and murder my neighbour if I did...

I signed up to it the other day. But I'm not sure I get it.

It's just like your Facebook status, and that's pretty much all there is to it.

I'm a sad tweeter #tdarra I have my twitter configured as private so if you want an insight to my boring life you'll have to request to follow me i think.

Perhaps a little ASW but for nosey people like me it's great, hah!

An interesting, and very brave use of Twitter!
