Question Twitter - so what's that all about then?

Anyone addicted to Twitter here?

I just don't get it and so deleted my account.

Give me Facebook anyday!

read the bbc piece on facebook addiction. girl tried cold turkey and lasted 2 weeks. i use both twitter and facebook and i am not an attention seeking cvnt, therefore your logic fails. oh and by the way my *** is exit only.

lol excellent summary. I have not deleted my Twatter account yet, but dont use it. Seems almost pointless. But the media love it!

Facebook, passes the time, but not using it would be easy really.

I don't get it at all, never have.

But for some "celebrities", especially the Z-listers, it's a cheap publicity department.

is twittering when you write down your every thought and post it online for people to read

(it seems worryingly like a forum, just with a slightly different delivery mechanism)

Twitter is only poop if you have nothing interesting to search for.

I have a twitter account but very, very rarely post to it. I do follow others with it, mainly tech types, for example, iphone-dev-team. I also follow a few non tech types, like Stephen Fry.

I see it as being a public text message thing, instead of sending a quick "OMG" text to someone you're sending it to the world.

Tinteterweb stalking is how I see, hence no interest to me. I have a farcebook account I use it occationally on the computer, but mostly on my phone just to keep in touch with friends and family.

Ah well, you see........in the old days, when people had proper cameras, you would take the photos round to their house and make a social event of it.
