Keith comes up with a name for those idiots who twitter: twits.

Ahahaha! It's not a new word, but it's so perfect. Twitter is the dumbest shit I've seen on the internet so far.

What would Larry Craig's twitter be?
6:52 PM: Out in a minute.
6:51 PM: Will be longer met hot guy in bathroom stall.
6:50 PM: In bathroom, out in 5 minutes.

1. You haven't seen very much shit on the internet, then.

2. DU is kinda twittery at times. I don't mind though

Rachel is interviewing Nancy Pelosi right now.

Pelosi took impeachment off table fuck her n/t

Why is Pelosi wearing her dining room curtains? :puke:

CALL YOUR SENATORS RIGHT THE FUCK NOW!!!111

4. True, but...

it rarely pertains to the most personal of details.

5. lol that's true

gawd that would be a nightmare

[Bill McBlueState]

11. neither does twitter

You're complaining about the content you think people communicate with the medium, not the medium itself.

3. damnit thats name calling!

I just sent out this tweet as I twittered away. I'm a twit.

"Bollywood wants Bobby Jindal for remake of Revenge of the Nerds, possible role as Wormser or Jamal open to him."

6. Like Blogs, most will do it badly.

But a few will approach,due to brevity, something akin to haiku.

Depends who's twitting.

7. I've never seen the appeal of it myself either

First, why would I want to inform the world of my every move? Second, why would the world care?

If this keeps up I foresee a bunch of people implanting themselves with the chip and hardware that would enable them to broadcast the film and audio of what they are doing with every single moment of their lives.

8. Well, that's about half the internet.

The other half is porn. The third half is stuff like DU. :D

Most personal blogs are basically like bad diary entries, only they're public.

[DavidDvorkin]

9. And what's with this telephone nonsense?

Messenger boys were good enough for my ancestors. They should be good enough for everyone now!

And so on.

Yes, it's an odd fad, and it may or may not last long enough to become more than a fad. But it's just another example of new technology expanding into empty social niches and creating new social niches. That's not new.

10. i adore Twitter.

I dont find it all that different from DU. Have the right people to follow and youre getting the same awesome breaking news from the globe, in real time.

I think Twitter is just really aging a lot of the oh so hi internet crowd because they dont get it.

CombustionGlass if your looking for a fun follow, I never disappoint ;0

12. At least your complaint about Twitter is longer than 140 characters. n/t
