I use twitter but I don't even understand hashtags or the follow system. I'm pretty much clueless in what the hell am I doing in Twitter.

Isn't that a Lovecraft thing ? The twitter from outer space ?

My wife used hashtags to tell people she was tweeting about nursing stuff. A lot of nurses subsequently followed her. I think that's the basic way to do it.

I only use Twitter to ask journalists and famous people questions. Works well for that.

Talk about/show pics of interesting things. Information. Personally i only find it useful for info tidbits on stuff im interested in - stuff from journo's or celebrities LOL.

I find it incredibly awkward to talk to celebrities on twitter. If I ever have o use Twitter, that would be the last thing I do.

I find it awkward that celebrities hire people to tweet in their name. Doesn't that disprove the thing itself ? (I know it's mainly used for PR and identity theft protection .....but still ....)

Ooh. Right.

My only real "accomplishment" with Twitter is getting blocked by a Bioware writer. That was fun.

Let's see, what was that joke?...

YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook have joined together. It will now be called You Twit Face.

When I feel like tweeting, I go hang out with my parrots.

As for twitter, who would want to follow me and what would I want to say to them? What would be the point of it? I don't see one myself.

At least here I can talk about games with gamers. What the hell is twitter even for besides people spouting off a bunch of shit nobody cares about or should care about? I've already got Facebook for that where I can be friends with everyone from celebrities to my favorite candy bar company and keep abreast of all the unimportant trivia they may have to share.

Recently I got fed up with Facebook which I only visit to see posts by family members and updates from a few game companies. I went into settings and made all my other "friends" disappear from my feed. These "friends" from high school found me there, people I never talked to back then suddenly felt friendly for some reason. I didn't want to be mean so I accepted their friend requests but then I was treated to their rants, raves, political and religious views, spam about I am gay and it's okay and more. By the way, I am fine with gay people but I don't need to hear about it every fucking day. It's cool. Be gay. No problem. Just shut the fuck up about it already please. I had one friend who just could not manage that. He's "disappeared" now.

The nice thing is, these folks don't know I made them disappeared. So, I have a lots of friends now, none of whom exist in my world anymore than they did before Facebook or back when I was in high school with them for that matter. That is my favorite Facebook feature by far - making people disappear without them knowing you did it.

I think I am not really cut out for social media or maybe even for being all that social. The older I get the less patience I have for bullshit of any kind. My days are numbered and I don't really appreciate people who fuck them up in even the slightest ways.

So yeah, fuck twitter. #fucktwitter

Well by famous people I mean Harvey Smith, developer of Deus Ex and Dishonored, or the players of my favorite baseball teams. They respond an awful lot of the time.

Tweet

I don't know if this is relevant, but maybe someone can finally explain me why this is funny:

That almost sounds like the Amanda Bynes method, at least the last 3... it didn't work out too well for her. I think she's still locked up in the looney bin.
