Twitter

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Twitter looks like a load of ****, it's just for all the people that do those thinly veiled "LOOK AT ME" posts on their comments section on FB.

If you're constantly updating it... How do you have a ******* life?

To make an ironic statement about people* who waste their time (and possibly money) blogging about the minutiae of their lives?


*This is a sweeping generalisation that doesn't apply to everyone, nor do I think it does. Just those who do waste their time (and possibly money) blogging about the minutiae of their lives. ;)

Yeah, I signed up for Twitter a few months back just to see what all the fuss was about.

Spent about three minutes logged in, thought "oh, that's it then?" and buggered off.

At least with Facebook/Myspace/whatever, there's other stuff to do once you've logged in. Buggered if I'm going to interrupt what I'm doing specifically to go on Twitter, post about it, then go back to whatever.

Surely the only accurate tweet (that's what they're called yeah?) is "is using Twitter."

Some [composite word including 'f*ck'] are on there constantly.

Then again Facebook's pissed me off lately too. The newsfeed is now solely status updates and "this muppet took a stupid movie quiz". Seriously, [composite word including 'f*ck'] off. Give me group updates, friend news... or at least the ******* option to filter out types of stories, rather than just filter by friend.

Listening to Radio 4 this weekend, I may be forgiven for thinking that it runs something like this:

1. Sign up to Twitter
2. Talk about Twitter on the radio incessantly in lieu of any real content
3. Mention your own Twitter feed as many times as possible
4. Advise listeners that it's free
5. Advise listeners that all they have to do is sign up and click "follow" on your feed
6. Profit

Twitter is ******* everywhere.
A swedish newspaper reported that Ashton had posted a picture of Demi Moores old skanky ass on his twitter (she was dressed in a bikini). Moore replied via her own Twitter by saying "You sneak" (or something like that).

And over on IMDB it says "Jennifer Aniston reportedly dumped boyfriend John Mayer because of his obsession with social networking website Twitter."

******* twitter.

It's the dude from that show about the 70's. He's also in some sort of nature film (it's about butterflies).
