*sigh* As always when Twitter is mentioned the same agrument:

1. Person in number 3, it's actually quite easy try it for yourself and don't be ignorant of that which you don't want to understand.
   

That would be me then in post number three.

Now who is making the assumptions? I believe you said that an assumption would make and ass out of you? Shame you didn't listen to your own advice; things I don't understand lol Here's a tip, don't assume you know me or what I have tried or understood

Used them all when they were released and guess what, they were still crap and a waste of time. I fully understand their uses. I just don't have any need nor use for them. We actively blocked them at work as we were losing silly amount of work hours to staff wasting their day on these services. I can see their uses in a professional capacity but the majority I have been linked to or seen are basically crying out for attention and its a waste of my own time. I have gone back to all of them over the times and they still were a waste of time and space personally. Facebook is just a mess and caused no end of problems for my girlfriend as an ex of hers was constantly putting up **** on the profiles, he soon stopped when I smashed his face in, twitter..... like I said in a professional capacity its useful, myspace, I think I follow a whole two pages on there for bands my friends are in to get gig times etc, other than that, its a mess of an interface, mess of a page and basically starts looking like a geocities space in the end.

I am probably being a little harsh on them as I can see the uses that MySpace and Twitter could have, but FaceBook I can't see a use for it personally apart from another method of people chatting and getting pictures on the net.

Update: Twitter attack designed to silence one blogger?

Grey, I was not refering to the ACTUAL post number 3. If we had to directly link my numbering system to a post in this forums post number 3 would probably be post number 14 in this thread. Everything was fine until unreal decided to defend Twitter like a galant night, and then the flame war began.

I was refering to the fact that everytime Twitter is mentioned a flame war will happen. I was trying to break it up with humour... I'm sorry if you misunderstood my numbering system.

Oh and now who is making assumptions!

All ive ever used twitter for was as a way of geting a 'text in' message system on a forum for thoese without internet on the phone.

[mmh]

blah blah blah...Facebook actually serves a reasonable purpose...

Absolutely... like friends reunited, but free... friends reunited had to become free because it popped up, but i bet people are more active on fb than fr

Twitter however allows you to read and post extremely limited amounts of text. Stupidly small amounts. Sure it's free and sure it doesn't make you use it. But it's comparable to the Crazy Frog. It's annoying as hell, pointless and although you're not forced to listen to it, you may hear it at certain times when other people play it or when it's advertised on TV - and that makes you hate it because you hate everything about the annoying little sod. Same with Twitter, it's mentioned in the media ALL the time for some peculiar reason, the BBC seem to get half their news from the bloody site.

Spot on in my opinion...

Anybody who disagrees with me should drive their head at the highest velocity possible to and from their keyboard repeatedly until they either fall unconscious or find that some sense may have been knocked into them.

Thats a bit strong... if lemmings want to keep following each other off the side of the cliff, let them... afterall, its only a game

I reckon Twitter and FB are overrated.
