Twitter whats it all about?

Let us know when you're on twitter, Rev.

I can't wait to subscribe to more inane drivel, particularly the bits about what a great fan you were in 1984. You can also post irrelevant and boring pics of yourself as an adolescent in tight shorts, you'll be pleased to know.

As an example of Facebook's increasing awfulness, somebody I know posted joyfully last week that her two year old had just done her first poo in the toilet. .

it's far better than facebook in many ways, a major one being that you don't have to endure all the utter shit that people share via facebook (you know, the sort of "only 5% care enough about kittens being fed to asylum seekers to share, if you don't, you deserve to die" etc). You can just unfollow them, or block retweets from them.

As an example of facebook's increasing awfulness, somebody i know posted joyfully last week that her two year old had just done her first poo in the toilet. People can be dull enough anyway when it comes to posting about their kids, but ffs, that takes it to a whole new level. I'm actually embarrassed for her. Mark zuckerberg should weep with shame in the knowledge that his creation is now being used by the mummy-bores of this world to regale us with their beloved offspring's defecating habits.

Twitter? You just don't have to endure all that.

The idea that there may be another parent this tedious around is worrying.

Someone should tell them that every human craps. Even the Queen. It's not worth a Facebook update.

Are you aware that you can switch off updates from certain people without defriending them on FB? Sounds like this could be useful for you.

I'm of the age where a lot of my friends are having kids. "Yes, I understand that you are proud of your little miracle but you haven't half turned into a boring c***."

Complain about a company's service on Twitter, and they get in touch immediately to sort out the problem. No company can afford to get a reputation for not resolving customer complaints. It's the fear of the viral retweet that makes this work.

spring hall convert said:

nope. Nsc is a community forum, a place for supposedly likeminded individuals to share ideas.

Twitter's main purpose is as a marketing tool and a very effective one it is to.
