Twitter?

[HRG.]

Does anyone? If so, what's that all about then...

[Podie]

Restricited character attention whoring, from what I've seen.

[Don]

Just can't be bothered with it.

[Legend83]

Dunno. Just signed up so will let you know.

More reason for people to not bother socialise.

Cheers Dave.

Why can't people meet up, do something fun and actually talk to each other. I don't care about the massive st!

edit: When I meet with mates, we don't talk about sts.

You mean like all the people on here? socialising on a web forum

[Legend83]

Apparently I am supposed to submit 'what I am doing right now' then find some other people and see what they are doing.

As if anyone gives a st.

Load of ste if you ask me

[PhillT]

Yes. Not just Facebook status updates, but an open network that allows you to find out all sorts of stuff.
I use it mainly for work - it's very cool for breaking news, multiple angles of opinion on a particular topic, etc etc.

This is different, I am technically socialising, discussing and having a laugh at Flashmans other peoples expense. But twitter, as I see it, is a "output", who really sits and reads what other things people are doing.

Facebook is only marginally OK, as you can share photos with people.

I should add that there's a wealth of rubbish on there, but if you follow the right people it can be very useful.

Basically an expose about local callgirls

[sleep envy]

I'm surprised they've anything left to expose

[ConcreteBuffalo]

I use it for work, surprisingly informative.

Still undecided whether it is worth it though...
