I did read the OP. I was responding with agreement to the guy I quoted, not to the OP itself, hence my quote.Lionsfan said:You know guys, it really helps to read the OP first.I woke up at 7:30 today. How crazy is that?! #WOKEUP
Yeah, I agree with this. Twitter is the idea of taking a social network site and removing the beauty of actually being able to speak in full sentences which encourages the use of words like LOL and ROFL. Words that I seriously loathe...
I know you probably wanted to get in the "cool not-caring" snark, but read the first post.
Not really to send stuff, but just to see all these hilarious tweets everyone else seems to getNot really to send stuffNot really to sendHey OP, I would join. I've got one, and I've sent maybe 4 tweets total. Just questions to people I follow.Blindswordmaster said:I'm not really a social media guy, but I'm thinking about joining twitter. Not really to send stuff, but just to see all these hilarious tweets everyone else seems to get. So should I even bother joining it? And just to clarify, I thought Facebook was stupid, but I joined it and really like it.
It's a handy way to keep up with stuff that interests you, and you can pick and choose what shows up. I've never seen anything from any of the "attention whores" people in this thread are blathering about. I just follow a bunch of sports writers/bloggers and World News type of stuff
It's like the guy above me said, a shortened RSS feed
Still, I guess I didn't make my point clearly and I forgot to actually respond to the OP. I'm a little woozy because I haven't eaten all day. My bad.
OT: If you want to you should join twitter regardless of the poll's outcome. It does have its perks just like Facebook if you want to stay updated on information about your bands or TV shows. Personally I prefer Facebook for that since it means that they can actually write full sentences. While twitter has the word limit that's set very low it does also mean it got the advantage that no-one expects them to post big and it's more frequently updated.
In conclusion: Try it out and decide if you like it.
