the come hither move is more annoying and less pleasuring....try applying a little pressure and more of a massaging circular motion

I can see how it would be useful in running a business. But, you'd have to have like 50,000 followers to have it make a big difference.

False.

I wish I was selling shit for my school when twitter was around. Alot better than f-ing going door to door bothering people who hose you down with their sprinkler, easier to twitter them

i just had an image in my head of |Zach| in the chris issac wicked games video.

thanks twitter

If you would have sold the chocolate that they wanted you to instead of your grandmas vibrators and sisters herpie meds I think you would've been ok.

"Twittering: when you positively, absolutely, have to know someone's meaningless crap ASAP." No thanks. I'll wait the 30 seconds it takes for the news to break on CNN or, if it's sports-related, for someone to post it on a message board.

Seeing stuff close to real time is obviously part of the fascination, but it's just scratching the surface. Like Zach said, it's what you make of it. The best people on Twitter provide great content and great conversation. If the news is important to you, don't you want to tell other people? See what others think about it? Have a conversation?

Using a cellphone--which is designed for vocal communication--to Tweet or IM is like using your car to walk your dog.

...and you can't really do that well by calling all of your friends. On Twitter, I can talk to software engineers from Google and Microsoft, writers and editors of TechCrunch, HR people for career info, etc. Even if you don't have a business need for it, why not seek out people with common interests that you would otherwise never meet?

We're becoming isolated in our houses with our computers and TVs, and now we have Bluetooth earpieces or walk around with our heads down Twittering or IMing into our portable devices. We're heading for that scenario Asimov described in his Elijah Bailey/Daneel robot novel "The Naked Sun": a population of phobia-ridden people who live solitary lives indoors and only communicate with others electronically.

Eh, this is a pretty stale argument, especially considering there are many events that take place only because sites like Twitter exist. I've met several Chiefs fans from this site, and I'm sure one day I'll meet people in person that I originally met on Twitter. Hell, if you're really into face-to-face, you don't even have to post on Twitter... you can find 'real-life' events and just show up.

Again, it's what you make of it. There's a lot of garbage and the lazy thing to do is make an account, post "trying out this twitter thing", and then say "I don't get it".... so, grab a random book off a bookshelf, flip to page 84, read the first sentence, and then tell me the book sucks; because that's what a lot of people do with Twitter.
