Twitter is Pointless

[07garet]

TWITTER is the most boring website in the whole universe...no games...no groups...no photo album i think and that's it.....it really sucks with only 140 shitty characters to write...i only use it cauz of gaga

[ghfdjghjfdghkdfjghfd]

Twitter is for twits.

[theunamazingone]

I hate status updates as most of them are 'ayyyyyye how u doin'

[waitingformusic]

2 minutes ago: Ooo I woke up thinking it was Sunday. Crazy

5 minutes ago: I want a orange

11 minutes ago: There is fricking wasp in my room! ( fricking ) ? Forfucksake!

16 minutes ago: Shall I throw coffee on my bed.

18 miutes ago: Im listening to Biggie on my clock stereo. Awesome.

There are people who tweet from 6:30AM until 12:00PM. RETARDS.

TWITTER. FOR SOME Famous people = OBVIOUS choice.

EVERYONE ELSE = YOU complete UTTER SAD FUCKS.

[Glennfalconi]

@waitingformusic Yeah really. It makes them FEEL famous or somthing. Fucking dumb.

[926531]

@waitingformusic ur shit for tweeting pointless shit like that

[05yousufm]

TWITTER= Taking facebook too far and u really do need to leave the house once in a while because if you have twitter...U not only expressed you aint got a life but you are dedicated to waiting your time on that peace of garbage.

[az24801]

nice

[bestozesto]

twitter is being used to spy on people's activities to devise future market...evil minds are all set to make money through all the info they get

[bestozesto]

twitter is pointless i totally agree

[hapibth0pel3ss]

I dont get why people say they " hate" twitter/Facebook/Myspace when they have one. When i generally dont like something i will NOT do it or join - to do something someone says they hate/dislike really doesn't make sense and it makes that person seem like a huge hypocrite. Their just contradicting themselves. But i do agree, its rather pointless, one time i went to a page to see what the format was like and people were talking about what they ate? Okayyyy?

[YellowBoy101]

You must b a really borein and sadely shallow person to be fuckin twitting every day on tha damn internet com on ppl be real and get a fuckin life its really not that interesting to kno that some one in tha world jus took a shit and dident wash their hands I have better shit to do with my life like live and work pay bills and shit its jus another dateing hore hook up web site ppl ps grow tha fuck up plz

[TheNerdsRage]

go to my channel the first thing you hear is "twitter is queer, twitter is queer"

[TJamanay123]

I agree with you- twitter is pointless, retarded, gay, stupid, lame, weird, did i mention GAY?! it is soooo retarded!

[RappoldXJay]

twitter fills a niche that wasn't worth filling in the first place.

[brockinit22]

Twitter is GAY!!!! The lamest website I have EVER SEEN

[GeorgeSpeaks]

wtf i have never been on twitter and never will sounds so fuckin homo ill stick to loggin in my myspace once every few weeks

[LocoRico89]

Twitter is ruining the news with stupid pop culture. Learning dumb ass celeb opinions instead of learning what matters to you and have a profound education

[americangirl190603]

why do all people pronounce it twidder???

[dragonmamga]

well think of it this way if i post this comment, it goes to my twitter and my twitter sends this comment & a link to the video to my facebook , myspace, and whatever else i have my twitter linked with so all it does is connect my status to all my sites with out me posting it to all them but just one.

[headbangingparrot]

Funny thing is...

People seem to be waking up to the annoyingness sites like Facebook, Twitter etc inflict on us. I mean some of us always saw the cringe-worthy and stupidity sometimes involved with these two sites in particular (Myspace is basically a music/arts site now, they need to focus on this as much as possible IMHO)

Predict Facebook to do a Myspace and become uncool by 2012. It doesn't have a music/arts side to back it up though so if it declines it's in trouble.

In my opinion.

[WLWesleyJr]

Agree 100%!!! Pointless IMO.

[gcastro44]

TWITTER IS POINTLESS IF YOU'RE NOT FAMOUS.

Even if you're famous and are twittering every minute, then you're a sad piece of $hit because you think you NEED people to know what you are doing all the time and showing that crave the spotlight.

[MrClydetheslide]

i cant see why people like twitter i dont like it

[yayap001]

saying twitter is pointless is like saying socilicing in genral is pointless or the sharing of information is pointless, its just stupid

[Peaguy]

Agreed. Facebook is only worthwhile to me. Myspace, on the other hand, is for poseur goth tossers and sluts.

[SeXiLeXi0219]

What the fuck?

[desaraev6]

Lol. Funny. Lamely funny. I found you from your how to subscribe video... because it was listed under recommended videos next to my how to subscribe video... but this one is the one that made me subscribe to you.. lame rant over.

Random note though... Facebook didn't use to do everything that twitter did... until about a month ago... which is what made it popular.

[ps3Mayham980]

wow you just found that out you fucking idiot they said that on the tutorial video you idiot

[justypunk311]

I think people use twitter for two reasons. One, because its trendy and celebrities are doing it. Kinda like how people in clubs buy Cristal to look cool because Jay-Z or whoever drinks it. The second reason is because most people feel the need to be popular and for others to care about what he or she is doing. Even if you only know like 3 people in the whole world. You can have hundreds of people reading your, god i hate saying this, tweets. Personally, I think its dumb. Worse than myspace.

[chancellor319]

Over the past few weeks I have been reading a lot about Twitter. At first I didnt really get the idea behind it, and after I did finally get it - I wished I was still in the dark. Is it just me or is this just a really lame idea? Who in the blue monkey hell wants to know that I am warming up a Pop-Tart at 8:45 PM on their cell phone?

[ryanaman]

u basicly spoke what i was thinking

btw alot of ppl use it because their lives suck and they want random people to know that their taking a sh!t or what ever noone gives a crap about

[bigbadbang18]

At least with myspace and facebook u can actually talk to people. I regularly use the chat feature because a lot of my friends are away at camps or in sports during summer, so i talk to them at night using chat. twitter really is just statusupdates. I've seen people on facebook say, "heading to mall, txt" and the EXACT same thing on Twitter. I don't only use Facebook for socialising, but it is a cool website to use.

[DiscloseProductions]

COMPLETELY AGREE

[LeonSKennedy828]

*sigh* -____-

[cosmosofinfinity]

It's called email, people. It's a lot more useful than all of these social networking sites.

[Dilster7000]

your right....anyone can just use html codes and make such a site like twitter

[RankAndFileGuy]

I have never had Twitter, and never will have one.

[ifxman]

You're right, just status updates. One of the many features of every social site, they all have a status.

I am gonna get so much flack for this and before I do, know - I had two accounts, but deleted them. The Golden Rule for most intelligent peeps is, whatever the masses are doing - stay away.

Just because something is popular doesn't make it something everyone should do.

I really feel bad for those that have no life but the interent. The best social site I've belonged to is Facebook. =])

[ifxman]

You know what? I take that back! Sorry!

I don't feel sorry for anyone. Life on the Internet is wonderful. I myself would probably be insane if I didn't have access to it. -- Oh, I still don't have any use for Twitter tho...lmao

[mercuryovum]

Absofriggenlutely.

[lEastTube]

Lmao, i loved the end of the video with the face emotion and the way you said "And im on twitter" Haha. Peace.

[heartx3jess]

agree 100%

[icecube991]

yeah, twitter is pointless ppl get a twitter just because everyone else has one, FACEBOOK IS THE BEST SOCIAL NETWORK ANY ONE WHO AGREES HERE?!!? ANYONE?!?

FINALLY SOMEONE WHO HAS COMMON SENSE!

[lxvlx]

Facebook is as gay as any of em.

[imrpowers]

Finally someone that feels the same way!

[natalienorvell]

thank you! I feel the same way.

[seinfan9]

twatter

[brutalbl00d]

twitter is fucking gay

[Euadam]

Agreed, its pointless.

[junitono1]

twitter really is retarded. "ZOMG HEY GUIZE! i just bought an ice coffee! LOL!!!!"

thats about 99% of what those tweets are like :P its a site for ppl who have too much unwarranted self importance. they think ppl NEED to know what they are doing every minute, on the hour.

[WasGibtsLeute]

like my mother, lol.

[theboxinghistorian]

I agree twitter is a lot of SHIT

[lesall]

Hey James .. I knew that.... who´s that stupid not to know it.. ?

[futurelight]

My theory is that Twitter became popular because celebrities started tweeting. And unlike Facebook, where people actually have to accept friend requests before you can view their status, on Twitter, mundane snippets of celebrity lives and opinions are available to anyone with an account.

Twitter provides a new voyeuristic look into the lives of the famous and gives us the hope of fame ourselves as we post our own trivial thoughts and hope people find them interesting.

[erwinlazaro]

yea twitter sounds stupid.

[y2jhbkrkohhh1]

Fuck myspace, facebook, linked in , and twitter.

[CommonMom]

GAWD!!!! Thank you for this vid! thank you!

[ComputerHelpGuy1]

Facebook sucks, Twitter doesn't

[PivotMaster79]

It's the other way around genius. Twitter is only updates. the ONLY thing u can fucikng do is right what u r doing now.

[Silzter]

I just don't know why twitter is that famous!!! I mean... when a friend of mine asked me to join twitter, I found that twitter is ridiculous!!! It's Ok for news updates but it's a piece of @#$(/&!!!

[swagga07]

THANK YOU!!!!! What is the point of twitter? Nothing!!!

My friends and family are like, "If you think FB is addictive, wait to you get twitter" ... I go to twitter and expect to see people writing Big blog features and stuff that would just kill FB. And then i see... A micro blog...

WOW!

[RedBullsNY]

So some people like to just put status updates! like me!

[strangersound]

My thought comes in paragraphs. Twitter is useless.

[shelbinatorTV]

Facebook would render Twitter obsolete if it was a little more mobile-friendly. Even the mobile version of Facebook is heavy enough to be a pain to access on a handset while still being crippled enough to be not useful as Facebook itself. So I see Twitter as having the ability to "undock" my status and take it with me via SMS - it adds to my FB experience, doesn't replace it.

[obendega]

I'll prove him wrong. I think Twitter's most useful feature is the Twitter search. With Twitter search you can filter posts real time to give you an up to the second picture of what is happening in the world.

[Leroyjustinb]

James,

I always new of twitter but never looked on there till now. It is a National Security Threat. Pres Obama is going to want one just like he has his Black Berry and people will know what he is doing (transparency haha). But seriously all the politicians have one so dangerous. AND STUPID

[ariaofdreams]

I had Twitter for about 2 weeks and have come to the realization that it is a waste of cybertronic space. :p

[Gilbinator]

twitter is pointless, yes

[randomdude90]

you're definitely right, that was my first impression too.. just facebook without anything but status updates

[SabraMagdalena]

I joined Twitter a little after it just started out (before it became the big deal it is now), came to this realization, and dropped out for a few months. But I agree, Kotecki- as long as people use it, I'm content to tweet my random thoughts to my 20-odd followers.

[Lahti213]

I came to that same conclusion in that exact same way.

[TheMightyDisco]

Twitter is to blogging as pointillism is to painting.

Actually, that gives it too much credit.

[trichenosis]

I realized that twitter was pointless when twitter was invented.

I have not gotten on twitter, nor will I.

Facebook is at least a decent organizing tool

[wg40504]

I agree Twitter is pointless

[rdsoxs86]

Amen! I got a twit account just to see what it was. It seems like a lot of the political pundits and Congress people have it. I don't see what the big hupla is.

[Jamandell]

Exactly! I refuse t get twitter, cos it's a waste of time!

[Sirsockbuddy]

twitpic? i guess that's where the pics are...but I agree, haha

[Vinifera7]

I like Twitter. You don't have to be "friends" with someone to follow their updates. So it's kind of like mini-blogging.

[Serrapeptase]

Twitter is useless.

Face Book is useless.

My Space is useless.

All those social networking sites are useless.

Turn off the computer and go read a book.

[cLeAnPLasticSun]

I agree with the sentiment, but disagree with the assertions.

[michaspi]

@Serrapeptase This, a thousand times this.

[CYFilmStudent]

Twitter is so awesome, interacting with other intellectuals minus the chatroom spam it's great.

[Sangnoir7]

LoL! I'd love to say you were wrong, but you're not. =) It's true. Yah I'm following you now btw.

[meangirlbecca]

you are funny. i saw your update about your conversation with your mother-in-law on twitter. :]

[MooseOfReason]

James is just using reverse psychology so people will 'follow' him on Twitter.

Very clever, Kotecki.

[britethorn]

The trick to using Twitter is to find people who are posting relevant information (that you can use.) It works really well with all cell phone browsers.

[mandapop]

NOOO... it's not just a site for statuses.... It's MICRO-BLOGGING and you know it. :P

[alancook01]

lol that's all twitter is. facebook status updates. but i still use it too.

[noolaxboola]

kotecki. I missed you.

[UnionStayshyn]

Look up "The 5 Stages Of Twitter Acceptance". You're only following 25? Only 25 deemed worthy enough? That's you're problem right there. Follow some ppl doing it right and you'll move up the Stages.

[omaryak]

I thought the same thing about a year ago when I first joined. But over time I came to appreciate the more advanced features like @ replies and # tagging. Then there's the fact that on twitter, people and companies are bascially treated the same. You can tweet a company (or news organization) and get a direct response. Try that with Facebook!

The novelty may wear off as Twitter expands beyond the domain of early adopters (Facebook is the new Myspace is the new AOL, etc.), but c'est la Internet

[omaryak]

I should also add that with hash tagging, people are always grouping themselves by subject matter in real time. Makes Facebook groups seem pitifully Web 1.0.

[Gilbinator]

It took you that long to figure this out?

[amazingpotato]

Twitter is just plain stupid. and the "twiple" that are obsessed with it are even worse.

[lilsarah22]

omgosh.  this is EXACTLY what ive been thinking this week! but... i got twitter this week o__O wtf HAHA

[vulpix]

It's true. I never use Twitter for the reasons you stated here.

[camcorder4598]

agree.

[momohead35]

I've always always thought that! and it's exactly how I described Twitter to everyone who didn't know what Twitter was. But I still like it, lol.

You just reminded me about how I haven't been on Twitter for a whole week and need to do some updatin!

[fathimazahra785]

I completely agree.

[UghNews]

You know that people are going to start linking to this video on Twitter, right? Which will probably get you some more hits. Which may lead to people following your blog. Which will build your fan base.

Weird.

Conrad

blog. philthy. us (remove spaces to go to the most awesome blog ever!)

[code9cook]

yeah it is pretty stupid, and pointless!!

[vivienj007]

i always thought it was ridiculous...now i know i am not crazy.

merci Kotcki for brightening that light.
