Twitter - Jakensama - 04-03-2009
Someone explain it to me, wtf is this thing. It sounds like just facebook status updates without everything else.
And when someone says twitter I want to slap them.

Twitter sounds like a dirty word.
- Slamz - 04-03-2009
Yep, it's like mini-blogging. I forget what the limit is per post, but it's really small...180 characters or something?
It's pretty stupid.
Although I may one day try to tie it into The Purge for gaming. I think it could be really useful to have a way to twitter what we're doing at the moment in a particular game. Like a page on our site where you can go see twitters from Warhammer like, "Forming up groups for a raid" or a twitter from Pirates about, "Spanish attacking St.Johns in force", etc.
Something we could look at to tempt us into logging into a particular game because Something Is Happening.
Unfortunately I couldn't figure out how to set it up so that 1 page could easily display twitters from multiple people. I'm sure there's a way, I just couldn't figure it out in 5 minutes and gave up.

Yeah my interest hasn't been piqued enough to get on board with this at all. Edit: Fuck me I spelled it wrong. Fixed.

When asked on the today show if he used twitter, Stephen Colbert said he 'twatted'

Now THAT is funny.
What makes it worse is that when you use Twitter, you are said to be "tweeting". No thanks. Make a cool person version and then call me back.

I have an account but to me it's useless and a waste of time.

I'll admit to being geeky enough to Facebook, but I don't see the point of Twatting unless she is really hot and then I'll just keep it between us in a text.

I don't think of Facebook as "geeky" if anything its the exact opposite. Most of the people I know that use Facebook or Myspace wouldn't know how to do anything else on a computer otherwise.

Im one of those types that says if I have Facebook, why on earth would I need twitter?
The main thing that's pissing me off actually is that Facebook keeps making changes to the front page to make it more like Twitter. If I wanted it to act like Twitter, Id just fuckin use Twitter. I know it's the cool thing to hate every update they make, but Im sorry, I really hate the newest update, lol.

why dont they just let you edit the UI yourself so you can make some shitty fucking 1990's looking webpage like myspace?
