And isn’t the root word here “Twit”?

I mean really, I started hearing every two-bit TV pundant talking about Twitter about three weeks ago. What’s the big deal?

[Warty]

Yo, fuck Twitter.

[Solana]

Can’t fight the tide, folks.

[Episiarch]

Twitter is for when you want everyone you know to know what you’re doing all fucking day and night because you compulsively report it.

It’s annoying enough when people do it on Facebook, but Twitter is like an OCD exhibitionist hell with spelling errors.

[Twitter]

Gay.

[What The Fuck Is Twitter?]

“Can’t fight the tide, folks.”

Bullshit. Twitter isn’t the tide. A soon to be stagnant lagoon maybe, but tide? No way. And I say this as someone who’s been intertubing for nearly twenty years.

[What The Fuck Is Twitter?]

“It’s annoying enough when people do it on Facebook, but Twitter is like an OCD exhibitionist hell with spelling errors.”

My take exactly.

Pagers were all the rage once…

In defense of Twitter, it does make bar hopping easier.

“In defense of Twitter, it does make bar hopping easier.”

[Episiarch]

Catfight!

[Solana]

Bullshit. Twitter isn’t the tide. A soon to be stagnant lagoon maybe, but tide? No way. And I say this as someone who’s been intertubing for nearly twenty years.

Spoken like a dude who spends a lot of time fighting the tide.

Twitter is actually really interesting, and I think everyone (me included) hates it when they hear about it, and just instinctually. Once you play with it for a week or so, though, you realize it’s not so much about telling people what you’re doing as it is about sharing information.

News stories have been breaking from Twitter (plain crash in Holland or wherever the hell it was, plus, the past couple of hours, Helen Thomas made a Slumdog Millionaire crack about Bobby Jindal. Fun!!!), then there are links, customer service things (with the companies that use Twitter: publishers giving away books, Whole Foods answering consumer questions), and all sorts of things.

But I get it. People are afraid of change.

*shrug

[Boston]

So did pagers.

not in avoiding people you hate.

[What The Fuck Is Twitter?]

“But I get it. People are afraid of change.”

Let’s revisit this next year.

[ed]

Can’t fight the tide, folks.

I can and I will.

[Episiarch]

Solana, Twitter has its uses, but depending on who you end up connected to, it can be severely annoying.

MySpace was huge for a while, but the proliferation of idiots made it unbearable. Facebook came to the fore, but the inability to “politely” refuse Friend Requests causes you to eventually be mired in the same pointless information overload.

My prediction is that new sites will come to the fore that allow more fine-tuning of whose and what info you receive.

[Warty]

not in avoiding people you hate.

e.g., people who use Twitter.

[economist]

“Twitter is for when you want everyone you know to know what you’re doing all fucking day and night because you compulsively report it.”

I passed a firm, healthy stool earlier today.

What’s wrong with just wanting to be left alone?

[Astroglide]

“I passed a firm, healthy stool earlier today.”

Tell me more! I’m all a twitter!

[Solana]

Epsi, for sure. I agree. These things keep transforming, and in the process they tend to improve. But one thing they are not going to do is go away.

[Mister DNA]

Does LoneWacko twitter?

[ed]

The next logical step has to be anally implanted video-phones.

[Boston]

e.g., people who use Twitter.

Reason magazine uses Twitter. Surely you don’t hate Reason magazine? Reason magazine gets emotional about this sort of things.

[Episiarch]

But one thing they are not going to do is go away.

Absolutely not. But filtering needs to improve.

[kilroy]

In 5 years Twitter will be a distant memory of wasted time, just like college.

[skeptic]

With Twitter, you can stay hyper-connected to your friends and always know what they’re doing.
-Why do I have to always know what my friends are doing?

Or, you can stop following them any time.
-What self-respecting stalker would do that?

You can even set quiet times on Twitter so you’re not interrupted.
-Like when I’m sleeping, having sex, or shitting? Or are all those “twitterable” circumstances?

[Jerry]

Getting millions in seed money without a business model is actually quite cool.

[Ganja Blue]

Hey Killroy, just because you didn’t remember it didn’t mean you didn’t have fun.

College was the best 7 years of my life. If I could have tweeted from class I might have actually gone.

http://twitter.com/ganjablue

[Episiarch]

College was the best 7 years of my life.

“Lane, I’ve been going to this high school for seven and a half years. I’m no dummy.”

[BDB]

I tried setting up a Facebook account once, and it was cool for about a day. Then a bunch of people I didn’t really like, some I positively despise, and some I didn’t even remember from back in College, High School,(and Middle(!)) started sending me friend requests. I just called it off right there.

[mari dupont]

Twitter is great if the people you’re following are 1)incredibly witty at all hours of the day or night 2) are continually inviting their followers over for free booze/weed/lines or 3) are telling you things that can easily be translated into cash. Instead, Twitter reveals that most people, especially political people, lead deadly dull lives, get excited by the most mundane things, aren’t as witty as their blogs lead you to believe and never, ever hook up.

No, some of us don’t give 2 shits about compulsively sharing, no matter who you are. Work with me here, but some of us really have no burning desire to broadcast the minutiae of our lives. I’ve got another secret: we care even less about yours.

If I want to share with friends, I’ve got several different phones I can call them on and, you know, talk. I’ve probably got their email addresses too.

God, this is so freaking stupid. Am I the only one who think all tweets should be in Haiku form? Lends itself to that, imo.

Oh you guys bring a happy tear to my eye. Here I was sitting thinking that I’m becoming an old technophobic foggie. I see twitter this and twitter that all around, and I just think, who the assfuck cares, why is this exiting, why is this groundbreaking. But now I can see I’m not alone and I feel better. FYI; I have been having some gastrointestinal distress this morning as well.

[Mister Tax Slave]

What I want to know is who OWNS Twitter? It seemed as if there was a coordinated mass promotion via TV especially on MSNBC. Does NBC have a piece of this?

[Tony]

coordinated mass promotion

That’s what I’ve been thinking. I don’t see why Twitter is such a useful or groundbreaking thing, and the fat that fat white-haired men on cable news channels promote it makes me very suspicious.

[Mister Tax Slave]

“and the fat that fat white-haired men on cable news channels promote it makes me very suspicious”

Exactly, Tony. I mean, when did Joe Scarborogh (sp?) and Chris Matthews crawl up to the alleged cutting edge of technology?

[obi juan]

Twitter is like an RSS feed that isn’t organized well and doesn’t have any actual content. The CEO was on CSPAN not to long ago openly admitting he has no idea how to make money with Twitter. If it weren’t for devout twitter evangelists no one would know about it because no one really needs it.

[Tacos mmm...]

MySpace was huge for a while, but the proliferation of idiots made it unbearable. Facebook came to the fore, but the inability to “politely” refuse Friend Requests causes you to eventually be mired in the same pointless information overload.

Really? I just accept the requests, then drop the person. They’re notified when they’re accepted, but not when they’re dropped.

[Tacos mmm...]

In 5 years Twitter will be a distant memory of wasted time, just like college.

And email. Does anyone email anymore? I haven’t gotten a mass forward of inspirational jesus quotes set to midi music and surrounded by dozens of animated butterfly .gifs in ages.

[obi juan]

Email has proven it’s utility. I have yet to see any real use, unique or otherwise, of twitter. People use it to imitate the status messages of Facebook or the away messages of IM clients. Often times people update twitter with an app that posts the same status to twitter and IM client. Other people use twitter as if it were an RSS feed, a job it does poorly.

[Orange Line Special]

Kaus recently speculated that all the twitter posts on other sites were part of a pay-to-post campaign of some kind… Who am I kidding? Who would want the Reason demo?

It was an early personal computer as video-terminal for me, but one time I DID transmit from home the images of a deck of hollerith cards for remote punching on-campus, back when I was in college. In those days, being able to generate the deck image on my personal computer, and not having to spend late-night hours in the key-punch room, several miles away, was quite the perk, I can tell you.

[jk]

I’ve punched in raw machine code on a Unisys UYK-7 front panel. You punks with Hollerith cards don’t know what real programming is.

[The DECwriter]

was where it was at, baby.

Actually, the people that have to fiddle around with the little details of how the next generation of microprocessors will work still deal with the low level details.

Aside from a bug in the floating point arithmetic in Intel’s first Pentium we live in a world of where the popular microprocessor’s computations are flawless.

This is absolutely fucking amazing.

Stockholm’s gay pride group launched a “How hetero are you?” Twitter analyzer as one of many ways to entice you to stop by for pride, which kicks off July 27.

It goes like this: Enter your Twitter username, and it’ll decide what percentage straight your 140 character messages are based on your record of mentioning things like “gay” or “Prop 8.”

@reasonmag
73% Hetero
“You’re boomerang hetero. It doesn’t matter how hard you try to gain new experiences, magically you always return to your starting point.”

@mleewelch
80% Hetero
“You’re winnebago hetero. Get the kids, pack the grill and, for the love of God, don’t forget the SpongeBob dvd.”

@mcmoynihan
65% Hetero
“You seem to be a bit semi-hetero. Just like a chocolate chip ice cream you don’t really know what you want to be. Basically it’s a vanilla ice cream but what’s the deal with the chocolate thingies? Luckily, most people like chocolate.”

Yes, it seems trendy…but as far as trends go it appears harmless. It doesn’t cost anything, takes little investment in terms of time, and it is relatively easy to ignore if you dislike.

It’s Twittergate. It cannot be stopped. It can only be contained.

Yo, fuck Xeones.

That’s right bitches, I’ve developed sentience.

[Xeones]

Fuck!

[Groovus Maximus]

Twitter has developed sentience; must have been too close to my trapper keeper ultra with the picture of the cast of Dawson’s Creek!!!! Hide your DVD’s of “AKIRA”!!!! I’m seriously!!!!

[kilroy]

Twitter has developed sentience, in lieu of all those that use it.

Is it possible yet to carpet-spam a Twitterer?

OMG! Twitter is down!
How will my “friends” know what I’m doing right now?
How will I know what my “friends” are doing right now?
It’s anarchy!

[max hats]

I come to the front page and find this, of all posts, has 178 replies. How the hell is that possible, I ask myself. Now I see all 178 replies, and I still don’t know.

KM-W rules Reason

Yet the Obamatarian deserters be hatin’

[Bingo]

You guys are gay, I met some cuties on twitter. It’s great for keeping up on local events.

[Das Leben der Anderen]

“Follow Reason on the Twitter!”

No thank you.

[24AheadDotCom]

If everyone followed me on twitter, not only would I tell them many political things Reason never will, but they’d know about things like this. Quite SusanBoyle-ish for her age.

Also, I’m starting a new service with heavy metal videos on twitter. There’s nothing there at post time, but starting in a few hours I’ll be posting different vids four times per day, every day.

[FrBunny]

Paging kilroy.

[Warren]

Holy crap. How many Reasoners are still keeping up with their tweets? Isn’t following someone on twitter sufficient loser qualification?

[Rice Bingham]

I’m following reason on The Twitter! I’m following! I’m following!

Wheeeee! Wheeeeee!

[Craig]

Stop wasting time tweeting. Where are the Hit and Run posts on that Free Stater packing heat in New Hampshire for Obama’s visit, and mocking Pelosi for being shocked that voters are upset when Congress tries to buy themselves a few more posh private jets?

[wow]

KM-W rules Reason

That thread has all the depth of a tween slumber party.

[juris_imprudent]

I’m with max hats on this one. On the other hand it seems appropriate to drop this link on this thread.

[Neu Mejican]

Is the Reason Twitter “Tweason”

I like the sound of that.

Tweason on the twitscape.

[Me]

Twit minds and tweet markets?

[Me]

Anyway, if this be tweason, make the most of it.

[24AheadDotCom]

In addition to my main feed, I also have a feed that delivers heavy metal, chocolate cooking, and bread/cookie baking videos. Each of those delivers four different videos each day.

[mark]

Since it has not been mentioned yet, one of the trending twitter topics was #welovethenhs. Excuse me while I go attend to a distressed stomach!

I want to know what Rachel Maddow is doing right now !

No I don’t.

[Xeones]

Shut the fuck up, LoneWacko.

[Rachel Maddow]

I’m munching a rug. It’s delish!

What’s twitter?

[John-David]

I was going to try upping the kilroy count, until I saw my main man show up. Shriek! You must be on your meds right now! Good for you, little buddy.

[Paul]

Where is Cavanaugh? (top finance grammar guy here)

FIFY.

[Kris]

Oh fer fucks sake!!!!

Put down the model airplane glue, Gillespie!

We get it! Stop recycling this shit!

200 comments on TWITTER? WTF?

From now on, everytime this post get’s bumped I’m gonna comment with …

… Yo! Fuck twitter.

[24AheadDotCom]

I just signed up ten new twitter accounts just so I could increase Reason’s follower count and make them look more important.

But, seriously, try one of my fine feeds linked above or this one.

[FrBunny]

I’m going to follow kilroy on Twitter.

[Lamar]

I don’t use Twitter, but I do click on this each time it gets bumped to see if kilroy is on top of things. Kilroy is the best part of this.

Presumably, this post will exist forever, and thus accept comments forever. Someone is missing an opportunity to have a personal blog here (somebody did that in the past I remember).

[Some personal Blogger]

Well, I just thought I would bring you all up to speed on ME:

Next week is the 12th anniversary of my simultaneous divorce from the “hag”, conversion to Buddhism, my absolute leap from the closet and into Fabulousness, smoking cessation through hypnosis, membership in PETA, renouncement of eating anything with a face (well, except for Timmy….teehee!), and uber-committment to environmentalism. What a week, eh? LOL

Every year, I still get goose bumps recalling how absolutely empowered I felt by my metamorphisis. And I can’t wait for this year’s anniversay. Timmy and I will be hosting a reception at the Blue Lagoon on Saturday, I do so hope that our friends and family can drop by.

I am still tormented by that painful anal leakage problem. We can’t decide if it is due to irritation of my anal fissures by Timmy’s genital wart, or my my non-stop craving for bean and cheese burritos with green chile salsa.

Irregardless, it is certainly an inconvenience when I am on line at the health-care reform vigils that are currently my only form of income (thank you SEIU!!)

I didn’t realize just how obvious it was until all the “teabaggers” kept calling me Shitstain.

Well, that’s all for now. Give me a “tweet” sometime.

Randy

[capitol l]

Ah, seeing a Lonewacko post sure does bring back memories.

For old times sake:

Shut the fuck up lonewacko.

That is all.
