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.

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

How to get lots of twitter followers in 5 easy steps

1. weasel yourself into the entourage of a minor celebrity or IT girl or embarrass yourself on as many casting/reality shows as possible
2. release a sex tape (VITAL!!!)
3. call the paparazzi every time you leave the house
4. have complete and drawn out mental break down via all news outlets known to man
5. try antagonizing other celebrities with incomprehensible drug-fueled diatribes

Repeat as necessary.

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.
