What is the point of Twitter?

[Cant trust em]

It's like Facebook without people's names and just status updates, right?

Why wouldn't I use just Facebook?

1. I don't know either

I'm waiting for replies too. Maybe there is one? :shrug:

[HopeHoops]

2. Twitter is simple.

It is so twits with no life can post up to 140 characters like "I just took a dump" and other people who also don't have a life can respond.

I think that was about 139 characters so that could have been a "twit".

3. Hey, I twitter

Well, technically my blog does, and only when it gets updated.

5. While others with no lives complain about Twitter elsewhere on the internets.

15. -44-6!!

19. Hey, y'all started it!

:rofl:

[ghostsofgiants]

4. It's a fun waste of time.

I'm gonna have to start shanking people soon, way too much whining about such an innocuous fucking website.

6. I don't have any problem with it. I just want to know what the added value is.

If I'm following the same people on Twitter as I'm friends with on Facebook; what's the point?

[ghostsofgiants]

7. I post random shit on Twitter that I never post on Facebook.

8. Are you ghostsofgiants on twitter?

Maybe I'll follow you on there. Could be fun entertainment.

I think I'll take that route. I have too much family on Facebook. I find myself having to censor myself pretty frequently.

[ghostsofgiants]

11. Sure am.

[no name no slogan]

13. Dude, I am so going to follow you

Also, if you like musician jokes, follow a gentleman named Mick_Shrimpton (just like the Spinal Tap drummer). He cracks me up.

[ghostsofgiants]

23. Awesome.

[PeaceNikki]

9. It's also a really cool way to get real-time updates from places/people like NPR news, Wonkette,

The Onion, Shaquille O'Neil and Martha Stewart. :D

[ghostsofgiants]

12. F'sho.

[MrScorpio]

16. What about me?

14. this

its just for random shit that pops into your head. like stream of consciousness.

I have found that can be very insightful :D

[ghostsofgiants]

17. Exactly!

18. It's there just to piss you off.

Actually, it's there just to piss lots of people off.

20. Twitter is more convenient than FaceSpace.

[My Good Babushka]

21. I always twitter

when I have made updates to my etsy store, added new products n' such.

22. You could "tweet" that question to all your followers

and get almost as many responses as you'd get here. Or not.

[latebloomer]

24. For some strange reason

that cracked me up!

[hibbing]

25. I don't think it has a point..

Hi,
I skipped the whole myface and facespace thing but do use twitter. It is dumb but kind of fun. Lance Armstrong is fun to follow just because of the life he leads. Rob Corddry posts what I think are pretty twisted things, and I also follow Jim Gaffigan along with family members. To each his/her own. I never got the point of the others, and don't really get the point of this, but just find it fun and goofy.

Peace
