HOW? WHAT? WHERE? WHO? Uh.....WHEN?

I don't understand why people waste hours a day on this damn site. It's like, who is going to give an ounce of shit about what someone does at 3:00 in the morning? Is this meant to attract the lowest scum of society? Do human beings really have enough free time to post 50 tweets in ONE DAY? When your posts turn into something like "LOL I JUST TOOK A SHOWER", I think it's time to re-think your priorities. This is almost as bad as Youtube except at least that site has some wait time between posts. Someone tell me this is just one big social experiment and maybe I will feel a little better.

I had been using it to keep on top of news from sites I frequented, and that was alright for a while, but...eventually it just became too much to keep up with, the tweets were piling up, and I just stopped using it entirely.

I think Twitter has kind of a nice idea behind it, and it means well, but in practice it's just kind of obnoxious.

I refuse to set foot on that site and don't even contemplate making an account for myself. I've seen plenty of my friends get just as sucked into it as they have Myspace and Facebook in the past. There are plenty of others I know who are subscribed through their phones and update constantly from there. It's bad when I have to tell friends to put their phones away; I thought I was off the clock as teacher's assistant at home... = =

And I don't understand the need for people to update on everything in their lives either. I really don't care when you wake up, brush your teeth, shower, etc... Unless you want to invite the world to be the stalker than go ahead~

I rarely use mine. I don't see the point when the people I do know don't really use it either and I have absolutely nothing to talk about on it. If I do use it, it's just to see updates on stuff I follow, but that can be done just as well elsewhere.

The main thing I don't like about social networking sites in general is that they take away things to talk about with your friends! You'll see your friend, and there won't be anything to catch up on.

Personally, I'd much rather tell my friends what I've been up to directly and have an actual conversation about it, rather than just post it up on the web and maybe by tomorrow have a couple of comments in response.

I NEVER get comments on any of my blog-like sites. I've given up trying to seem interesting a long time ago. /:

Well, I think you're interesting enough just the way you are.

You're adorable. : D!

You know what isn't interesting? People paying to have twitter/facebook/myspace updates on his/her phone. :'(

I rarely use my Twitter. I just don't care about it anymore. I usually spent most of the time just deleting spam twitter people off my account anyway.
