you guys are really having an utterly pointless conversation.

twitter is what you make it. it's like complaining the internet is narcissistic shit when all you do is visit celebrity gossip websites.

stop being such a fucking tard, lowing.

no, just someone that actually uses the platform and finds a lot of use and information on it.

you, however, argue endlessly and tirelessly over some generalised, stereotype-fed bullshit.

go use it and find your own benefit. i'm sure there's no end of right-wing bigots and other such pundit faggotry for you to syndicalise and lap up

right. but morons use every medium. idiots are found in every community. does it discredit the entire platform?

do you not read any blogs because some people use the blogging platform for self-obsessed bullshit?

do you refuse to read newspapers because some newspapers are socialist-leaning?

well then why do you refuse to follow anyone on twitter, just because some individuals use it as a personal log of trivial bullshit?

Already said why, I see no reason to follow any single individual for any reason. I don't need his thoughts to form my own. Anyone that draws a following on such platforms is doing so for no other reason than a narcissistic ego boost.

Now, I have never said one word about news agencies, or financial markets, whatever. I have restricted my comments to those individuals that tweet their every movement and the idiots that follow them. If you take offense to that sorry.

No, he's right. Your age is showing and you clearly don't get it. If you don't get it, ignore it. It's not causing you any problems now is it? Even my father, who is probably much older than you, is on facebook every day harassing the shit out of his friends list with spam links. Even my mom has an account and she's never sent an email in her life.

The times have simply passed you by.

Uhh, there are lots of professional twitter accounts too you know. It's not just teenagers being retarded. Product updates, feeds letting you know when your favorite blogger has updated, stuff like that. I don't have a twitter account but many people find them very useful.

Well shit John, no of this shit we talk about on here affects me, nor does it affect you. If we all restricted our comments to what actually affected us, this forum, along with most every other forum simply wouldn't exist.

and no, time has not passed me by, I get it, I simply see no reason to follow around some jack off on twitter waiting for him to spit out his next thought, regardless as to how trivial it might be.

So don't follow him. Free will and all. You get to choose who you 'follow'. Same as you can choose who to be friends with on facebook. If someone posts something that offends you, defriend them or stop following them. All that control, all that power, right at your fingertips! So, if you see someone posting about their bowel movements it's your own damn fault.

And as for you not understanding their choice in friends, well, there's a lot of people that don't understand your choices either. We're not all the same, nor should we try to be. Life would be hideously boring.

I don't follow anyone, what I speak of are those idiots that do follow them and those idiots that feel the need to be followed. Just because I close my eyes does not mean I am magically free of the idiots that surround me.

So lowing, someone who's never used Twitter, is telling Twitter users what Twitter is used for. Am I reading this correctly? You clearly don't "get it", because the uses of Twitter are incredibly varied and you stick to thinking it's useless because you heard people follow Lady GaGa... as if that's the only account they follow.

Of the 550+ people I follow, I follow:

- Several breaking news accounts which allowed me to find out about the BP Oil Spill, Gabby Giffords' shooting and The Wikileaks Debacle all before I would've watching TV news
- Shuttle launch information and astronomy accounts that allow me to track NASA activity and the SDO
- My favorite sports teams, athletes and sports journalists allowing me to keep up with them and get news I normally wouldn't elsewhere
- My friends, and it serves the same purpose of Facebook in that regard
- My favorite bands so I can keep track of new releases/tour dates
- Several Downtown Manhattan accounts that allow me to know what's going on in my area, deals, construction info
- My college and prospective colleges I want to transfer to for finding out events, news, etc
- Several tech related accounts (MS, Xbox, EA, Bethesda, DICE, several individual game accounts) for new products, game news

But because Lowing knows Lady GaGa and some other celebrities have an account he thinks Twitter is useless... okay.

I don't have twitter, probably never will, but I don't have a problem will those who do use it. Actually closing your eyes does make you free of the idiots that surround you. Take for instance private property, no idiot will be on your property if you don't want them there. The internet works the same way, if you don't want to view stupid twitter updates, don't view their profile.

wow you follow 550 people? lol. Wonder who is more self absorbed, those that think the world can't live without their minute by minute insight. or those that don't think they can go a minute without being the first to hear about something that doesn't affect them anyway.
