I hate twitter

Rasputin · Subject: I hate twitter 10/24/2009, 3:16 pm

Seriously, does everybody have to be connected to twitter? It's bloody annoying!

So there I am, just scrolling down the portal page and what do I see? A twitter button!!! It's everywhere and it's worthless, much like fakebook. One person posts that they're on the crapper and everyone gets a notice that said person is on the bloody crapper. Seriously, have people bottomed out and instead of living their lives vicariously through the dramaspace they've decided not to live there lives at all and annoy the world with crappy one liners delivered via the net! Just when I thought degradation couldn't get any worse.

I joined to follow professional cycling. I opted not to receive any notifications, so I don't get countless updates I don't care about. I just read through everything when I log in.

Sod a whole lot of that crap. I have email and a phone and if I need an update from someone then I'll contact them.

It popped out of nowhere.
One day iy wasn't there then all these places where shoving it into your face.

Just like the stupid cricket phone company.

I never heard of it and one day last spring it appeared here out of nowhere all over.

Amen to that!

Sick of seeing it on tv, sick of hearing about it, sick of online social freaks wanting shallow attention!

I'm glad to hear that I'm not alone in my ire.

Fakebook (perfect definition) and Twitter are for the "glamour and the Ken and Barbie wanta-be". Thanks for bringing it up Ras.

Yes, yes, it grinds my nerves like that freecreditreport guy (oh, how I would love to suture his mouth shut).
