Don’t forget the search function!!

I guess the replies above show how the folks ‘think’ Twitter is used. In actual fact like everything else you get out of it what you want.

If you want to read great updates that inform, teach entertain then choose who you follow. You carve out your own filter for the inane updates and obviously un-follow non performers lol

90% of tweets are meaningless, a bit like people who have just met and can’t think what to say except “Lovely weather we’re having” or “Milk’s dear now, isn’t it?” Social networking is changing the way we communicate – it means we spend more time texting or sat at our computers rather than bungie jumping naked. It’s a sign of our generation – sterile, empty, hopelessly futile and without meaning….I mean, who really needs and digital stapler…bye for now, I’m just off to top myself (hope the Inglish is okay with you Mike)…

What is the point of Twitter? ‘aint it obvious? Wrap something up in “meaningful” language and tell people it’s all about keeping one step ahead. But is it not a business? Is it not about the people in the business making money from you? Why make your life even more complex than it already is? You don’t need it. It doesn’t need you. It’s just more technology….. always, always more….. I’m going to get myself a pencil, some paper, and write some poems sitting in the sun.

Silly question. To quote that great scientist Sir Ernest Rutherford, the father of nuclear physics, when a woman asked him “but what is the use of physics, Mr Rutherford? He replied: “Madam, what is the USE of a newborn baby?”

And , Mr Kleen, we may be all the things you say on Twitter but at least we can spell and write coherent English. Remember, it’s like anal sex. If you don’t enjoy it, you don’t have to do it!

The point of twitter is the give a bunch of self absorbed, egotistical doucebags a place to tell us all what they had for lunch and how great they think their every thought is. If you are that interesting, you have actually friend to tell these things to. If you dont, then your are probably a boring pratt – and no one cares anyway.
