Do you Twitter?

[darweth]

What do you Twitter about?

http://twitter.com/

[karellen]

at least now I know what is twitter :)

[daynah]

My friend showed it to me earlier, he Twitters. And I have to be honest with you. When he showed it to me, I thought it was the silliest thing in the world. If I'm going to txt, I'm at least going to txt to SOMEbody, ya?

[Sunflower1970]

I have seen something about twitter on digg, but still don't really know what the heck it is...

[~LoKe]

I still think it's the worst idea in existence.

[Nikron]

I still think it's the worst idea in existence.

Agreed

[BLTicklemonster]

It's TICKLEmonster, not TWITTERmonster!!!! How many times do I have to explain this?

[jdhore]

i think Twitter's a novel idea...but as i've noticed, only bloggers/vloggers are really on it

[palmdoc]

Yes I do, and no i don't think it's entirely silly. A nice way social networking tool. The only one I found for UBuntu is this:
http://philwilson.org/blog/2007/03/post-to-twitter-from-ubuntu-deskbar.html
Being an Ubuntu newbie, it looks a little daunting to install it but I shall try
Any other suggestions welcome

[ticopelp]

God, no.

I made an easier version of that one, it doesn't require any libs I think (works with standart python stuff)
here is it

Hope it's useful to you

[starcraft.man]

That would be a strong NO. I don't get the appeal.

[jrusso2]

I don't get it this is a tool for someone who thinks they are so important people want to know what they are doing every minute of the day?

[Rupertronco]

I still think it's the worst idea in existence.

You sir, are a scholar and a gentleman.

Microblogging?

Giant "Who Cares" pretty much sums it up..

[lisati]

I tend to waffle instead of twitter.....

[Warren Watts]

Mmmmm..... Waffles...... :)

Unfortunately I'm completely addicted to twitter now.

Thanks Mike!! I always take warning like "Warning this song will get stuck in your head." with a pinch of salt, however, don't copy that floppy is driving me nuts :(

As for Twitter? Don't get it!!!

[derekr44]

Some people would call it a nervous twitch...




ba da bum.....

[rudihawk]

Hell no...

[helliewm]

Yes and I have no friends:( Only 3 followers :( Anyone want to follow me same username as this forum helliewm.

I mainly twitter to talk Ubuntu/open source. I wanted to talk to another Ubuntu user I know which is why I joined twitter but its addictive:)

[ice60]

i don't twitter, i haven't ever even joined a social networking site, i'm pretty anti-social, although i am going out tonight :D lol

i got some good twitter extras though -

http://twistori.com/ <--- this scrolls twitter posts up the screen
http://twitdir.com/
http://www.twitstat.com/cgi-bin/view.pl
http://twitterholic.com/

[zmjjmz]

Yep.

[Technoviking]

I just want more followers than Jono Bacon :).

[shadylookin]

No. I don't really have the desire to send out short generic messages to all my friends at the same time. Maybe if there was a way to set it up so your message only went out to a certain group of friends(there might be I don't know anything about it besides what their homepage says). In general though I think my life is way too dull and boring to need such a system.

[loell]

no I don't and why should I? I already got ubuntuforums to socialize ;)


also there's a new kid in the block


http://www.plurk.com/


and i think he won't be the last, these micro blogging thing will just keep on popping up :lol:

[NJC]

Must involve sex, alcohol, gambling or guns - or all of that. ;)

Blocked at work.

[Mateo]

Yep. At first it doesn't make sense but after a while it's addictive. Even if you don't get a lot of followers it's fun to just post a quick thought every once in a while. like a lazy man's blog.

[picpak]

I just joined, same username as on here. It's fine and dandy and all, but what's so great about it that will encourage me to remember it exists by tomorrow?

[Zeotronic]

I'm a "wtf is twitter?"... now that I know, I never will. I've never liked the idea of any sites like that... they just don't make any sense to me.

[madhi19]

I do. It an easy way to share that youtube video you just found or posted nothing more nothing less.
Add me up my nick is the same has for youtube and many other site I use.

[BazookaAce]

I'm using Facebook, Myspace, and now... Twitter.. GOD help me! Where did it go wrong!?

[Ichtyandr]

apparently twitter is handy for organizing riots etc., at least the recent Moldovan "Twitter Revolution" got its name that way, have a look
http://neteffect.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2009/04/07/moldovas_twitter_revolution
or just google it

[espiral]

No, i have a life :lolflag:

[Deamos]

I do, but use it more as a medium to update my facebook & blog with only one message. As for the normal Twitter user, I loathe them...

[blueshiftoverwatch]

I don't twitter.

[ventper]

switched to identi.ca (http://identi.ca/doc/about) using the FOSS laconica (http://laconi.ca/) tool..

great to see we can support FOSS with micro-bloggin/status updates as well.

n, i'm using choqoK (http://choqok.gnufolks.org/) for both identi n twitter

identi.ca: leerufong
twitter.com: rufong

[Ms_Angel_D]

My Friends and I use Firefox's Shareaholic plugin to twit interesting articles we find and read, it's kinda handy when you use it in conjunction with the twitter plugin on pidgin. Before that it was emailing everything...But I don't feel the need to post my every move on it....

[jocheem67]

I rather talk physically to my friends, than this "social networking -- are you connected -- web2.0 " stuff...
It gives me the creeps that people just wanna be heard all the time..what's it good for?? People in general don't say interesting stuff all the time.

NOFI ofcourse to anybody who in fact has a practical use for this stuff...

[RichardLinx]

I signed up for twitter and ended up deleting my account the next day.

[JK3mp]

No but i've heard alot about it and i give up. Im gonna check it out and give it a chance tommorow lol. Too tired now xD

[khelben1979]

Yes, but I do agree that it's a bit silly but useful. I was sceptical at first, but it's a fast way of showing what you're doing especially since I'm not the social type myself.

It mainly shows that I'm alive for those who cares, haha!

[bonfire89]

if my friends start using Twitter, I will be quite upset.

I have enough accounts and such to check already.

Facebook does everything twitter does and more. there is no point if you already have facebook, which I, and 95% of my friends do.

[billgoldberg]

No.

I'm not into that whole social web 2.0 thing.

Same reason I don't use facebook, myspace, ...

I have friends enough in real life.

[HappinessNow]

What do you Twitter about?

http://twitter.com/

Absolutely Not!

(Nice SPAM post for twitter)

:popcorn:

[cmnorton]

I don't get it, yet, but I'm on there.

[stimpack]

Signed up, followed a bunch of people, found out what they were eating at that moment. Not logged in since.

[LightB]

I just went to the bathroom.

[pol666]

unfortunately yes i do. @pol666
It's in spanish.

[cmnorton]

If you use it like a stock ticker (cnn breaking news, Linux Journal, and so on), I can see it might be useful. Otherwise, it is about people eating or listening to music.

[missbliss]

I have an account, but I never use it. I don't care about anybody's tweets nor do I really have anything of import to tell everyone I know as well as any anonymous stranger about.

I think it's a great social networking tool but I just don't need to be that involved in social networking, myself.

To me, it just seems like texting on a grande scale.

[tazz4vr]

only when really bored.

[k3ttc4r]

yeah, i do.. i use it with the pidgin-plugin for quick updates on my blog, like "working on script xyz" and similar.

to let people know what i'm eating right now i use facebook :P

[Tipped OuT]

What the hell is Twitter? :redface:

[Daisuke_Aramaki]

no

[Therion]

No, I do not.

However, should you ever find yourself overwhelmed with a burning curiosity about exactly what I'm doing at any particular moment in time, by ALL means, please feel free to email me for a complete, and comprehensive, update.

I'm quite sure the sundry and sordid details of my daily commute, soul-crushing employment, and/or vigorous masturbatory habits, will not disappoint!

[darthmob]

I read 3 feeds from game developers. it's a good way to get information about newly released media and updates.

I do not have an account though. nobody would care about what I'm doing. :KS

[akoskm]

Yes, of course. Facebook was very annoying in the last few months. Twitter provides better and cleaner functionality. I really like it.

[amitabhishek]

I have an account but I dont know what to do with it. I dont even have a single follower :(!
