Am I the only one that is god damn tired of hearing about Twitter?

[LostInAnomie]

Who the fuck gives a shit!?

[Richard Steele]

1. No. nm

[emilyg]

2. no

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. My dear LostInAnomie!

I think that if people want to use that thing, then fine. But STFU!

It's a tool, and meant to be used...Why do the rest of us have to hear about it? :mad:

I'm with you!

[Tabasco_Dave]

4. No

I hate hearing about it too.:hurts:

[BlueJazz]

5. I'm sick of hearing about it and I wonder, if some people are so darn insecure that..

..they can't be alone for more than 10 minutes without broadcasting every simple, silly little action that they perform in everyday life.

I don't want (or care) to know what every friend I have is doing every second of the day.

7. There _are_ people that insecure, though.

I don't think cell phones would have become so enourmously popular without such people. Mine will lose a charge before I even remember I own one, yet, I'm thankful to have one at all, as when I use it to send a text to the other side of the world for fifteen cents ;)

Still, I have no use for Twitter, and even as the ones around here go on and on about how great a tool it supposedly is, I would say the majority of the info swapped on it is a worthless waste of bandwidth and energy. Find a way of putting it to use sequestering carbon and I'd be all for it, yet still never use it :P

6. I've been complaning in GD about CNN's near-total reliance on it

They can't go 30 seconds without mentioning the service and/or consulting some of the brilliant anonymoust Tweeters to give context and relevance to the news of the day. :puke:


Just report the goddamned news, CNN; let the viewers decide for themselves what the hell to think.

[LostInAnomie]

8. Exactly

I'd be a rich mofo if I had a dime for every time David Schuster mentioned twitter on 1600 Penn. Ave.

[Critters2]

9. Yep. Sorry, Richard Quest. I'm not following you.

Let it go already!

[Orsino]

10. I dunno.

The only thing I ever hear about Twittering is that somebody or other is Twittering. Is there anything more that can be said on the subject?

[LostInAnomie]

11. Try watching CNN or MSNBC at certain times of the day.

You can't swing a dead cat without hitting a twitter reference.

[Orsino]

12. Uh-huh.

I was just wondering whether there's ever been anything of substance discussed--something beyond the dropping of the name?

[LostInAnomie]

13. Substance? LOL... no.

Schuster used to devote a portion of his show to reading tweets, and CNN devotes huge portions of newscasts discussing them (sometimes they even split the screen for them).
