Whats the big deal about twitter?.

Post Reply New Topic

The only mainstream social site I use in MySpace; I have it linked in my pro here if anyone wants to check it out I barely use it
I thought twitter was all about keeping up with celebrities. I never heard of twitter till Miley Cyrus mentioned she uses it on Lenno or Conan & then the media & other celebs started talking about it.
The song "Twitter Tweetin" by comedy singer Carrie Dahlby mite explain it some. Here's link to DL http://thefump.com/fumps/cd128_TwitterTweetin.mp3

Thanks for the song nick007.

You ve got mail was one of my obssesions not too long ago and one of my favourite moments was when rockin robin started playing on the background.
I only heard the song you linked once(Im kind of in a hurry) so ill have to listen to it again afterwards but it sounded cool.

I enjoy twitter because I don't feel like I have to keep up with everything everyone else is doing. The updates of people that I choose to add are brief and usually have meaning. I don't have facebook and I doubt I ever will because of a number of factors, but with twitter I can digest small amounts of information that I find relevant without being assaulted by all the nonsense that comes with facebook and myspace. Twitter is also a great method of getting news before it is news. I remember people tweeting about an earthquake in California before it was on the news... My twitter name is in my profile information.

Not everyone on Twitter is posting idiot updates of the grid reference of his or her location on the planet (as though anyone actually cared )

For a message of only 140 characters to have impact is quite a challenge, certainly more than presented when posting a picture on 'face book'.
