  • The thumbnail looks like he is on the surface of the sun!

  • You can follow conversations now.

  • twitter is useless, just stick to facebook and online forums to interact with people.

  • or call'em :D

  • What do you think that twitter should be used for? Or what should it be?

  • HEY GUYS...

    Plz check my homepage vid

    "the funniest tweets of 2009"

    ur gonna love it!

  • hahahaha this video is hilarious. a man says that twitter isn't suitable for having conversations, meanwhile, he is a human being driving around in a car and talking to a cell phone / rectangular machine to make a video, to put up on youtube, where presumably people might respond and engage in some sort of.. 'conversation'? it'd appear that this man is a pot, calling a kettle black.

  • @gburton hes not posting this video on youtube for us to have a conversation, he's posting this here to share his thoughts, to share his opinions. If you start to have a conversation on here, then that is up to you, he is not looking for that, he's just trying to get the views from it.

  • You're not wrong. It's a microblog and that's basically what it will remain. You can learn to express yourself in one 140-character long line or use that line as a comment on someone else's "tweet". I'm on Twitter and I don't use it for "conversations". I use it as a kind of newsflash thing or short messaging system when I can't contact someone in any other way.

    In three words: You are right.

  • @umbra2006 wow! i applaud you on actually getting to the point.

  • twitter is for 14 year old emo girls. For most people it is really unnecessary.

  • it's not necessary if you don't have any friends.

  • who gives a shit?

  • check out my videos ;)

    and i really dont see a point to twitter, facebook does the job.

  • its only good for allowing the government to know where u are at all times

  • I hope you know its illegal to drive with the light on in your car, Chris. ;-)

    Twitter sucks.

  • what the fuck are you talking about bitch?

  • I'm talkin about your fat-ass mother bitch.

  • Why does it say

    "What is Twitter good for"?

    Should say "Twitter is not good for conversation and I'll tell you why over and over and over". Just sayin. I still don't know what it's actually good for. Thanks

  • JEEEEEESUS...Get to the point!!

  • JEEEEEEESUS...You are gay!!

  • i don't use twitter, nor do i care anything about the subject of this video..... with that said...... i wouldn't mind seeing this geek naked.

  • @readysetdie1 you must be gay

  • Right, cause there are no women on planet earth. None at all. Stupid ass.

  • @Oaken007 stupid ass i wasn't talking to you so fuck off

  • Your comment was ignorant you dumb fuck. go fuck yourself, you ignorant fuck.

  • shut up

  • fuckin geekkk

  • you're a whiner

  • twitter is absoluty a garbage site i had a account then i deleted 2 days later .... so what are you doing now that all it is hmmm why the fuck would anyone care what the hell i'm doing .. or vise versa sorry but twiter honestly is not even a real word anyways and twitting uh i feel like adur da dur just commenting on this the most fucked up site on i-net it twiter oh and facebook to dum as shit myspace for life

  • I did not like friendfeed. All it was full of so called "social media experts" who were just stroking their egos and not really discussing anything.

    You can have convos on twitter, just not COMPLEX ones.

  • I haven't watched this video yet but, I can tell you what twitter is good for and it's first cousin youtube. Wasting you time...

  • lol, same with myspace, facebook etc. really just a waste of time.........but most of us use em haahahah

  • It would be funny watching you trying to explain where babies come from to your daughter (if you ever have one).

  • you are so right, chris! I hate running across those when I am reading other peoples tweets!!

  • you're right

  • His twitter jut said over capacity. @imapreneur is my twitter go follow

  • He's correct because Twitter is for updates. U only get 140 characters and his iPhone shows clear. I want me one. Thats neat how Apple created a reocrder on iPhones

  • Comment removed

  • Chris is gangsta for having that light on while driving.

  • lol

  • I totally agree, Chris. Not sure why everyone one is using Twitter to chat. It makes a horrible chat room, forum, or feed.

  • I totally agree with you on this one. Facebook is my go to for conversations. I don't even use IM anymore, except with my family and to play yahoo games versus my sister :)

  • Twitter is a micro Blog site?

  • Twitter is not chat-I use it as an information source on the Tech stuff. I follow alot of Geeks and they do post some intereting stuff no and again. I just dont get the whole I woke up tired/Going to take a shower stuff. I @ maybe 2x at max to a person usually if it is interesting.

  • Twitter is a pointless piece of software for famous stars/ boring-ordinary people to express their daily tasks that we do not care about (unless you're a stalker, or a weirdo)

  • I have a twitter but I never use it. I find it's a wast of time and if someone wants to tell me something they can trough other means

  • Lol, Twitter. Only use for me is business.

  • Lol is this when you were drunk and you randomly went out?

  • It depends on how you use it. I have a group of friends all using Twitter and we are able to have conversations quite easily. Twitter feeds crosspost to Facebook which augments the conversations. But I'm just a person, not a brand, and I use TweetDeck, not Twitter's website and it works well for me and my friends.

  • I don't know where you live but driving with a light on in your car at night is illegal.

  • facebook convos FTW

  • Twitter isn't a chat. That's right ;)

  • Do a report on the Motorola Droid vs iPhone

  • Drvie careful while filming the video Chris

    Keep up the cool vids

    xD

  • Google Wave is going to be the next form of communication

  • <--- Haz Google Wave, its not that great..yea its amazing..when you have someoen to wave!! none of my friends have it

  • you talk to yourself in your car? :D cool

  • I talk with myself everywhere :)

  • i don't really care where you talk to yourself.

  • I like very much the idea of the Twitter,but unfortunately,the website is a garbage :(

    Twitter it's a very good tool,but it has extreme unfriendly interface and features.

  • I've used it for conversations for groups. You can use the hashmark to easily follow everything.

  • Twitter is Lame.

  • i like facebook. More of my friends use facebook so it's easier to chat on that rather than msn or google talk.

    Never tried twitter but it seems like people mostly type junk like 'i got up and had a cup of tea today'

    I suppose i'm is easier for offline messages but if it's that important I e-mail someone.

  • If you never tried it, how do you know what most people post?

  • I have facebook, so I think Twitter is pretty much useless... unless you're a busy person... and like seangworld said, Facebook and Twitter are nearly the same..

  • Folow me @cknl360

    i will folow u back.

  • i think twitter is just useless.

    your status message on facebook and myspace is virtually the same exact thing EXCEPT on facebook and myspace you can actually track your conversations. so if you can do this on fb or myspace, why the hell would anyone want to use twitter??? it just doesn't make any sense to me.

  • i dont like twitter. too much junk. peace. gregg

  • Comment removed

  • Only a big nerd like him would record himself driving 8D

  • I think this is slightly narrow minded. You can easily have a conversation on Twitter. You send one, receive one, read it, and send one again. With more then 3-4 people however it can get a little complicated, but with 3-4 people it's very doable.

    As I see it, Twitter is a blank slate. Not really designed for just one specific purpose. You can have conversations there, therefore you SHOULD (if you want) have conversations there. I personally use it for health/mood/project status updates.

  • well it really depends on how man people @ reply you like for me with 100 people i can manage my @ replies and get conversations going on but i understand if you get tons of @ replies surely its impossible to chat via @ replies

  • LOL@ Chris ranting about using twitter for what it's made for "telling people what you're doing", yet 90% of his twitter updates are SPAM.

    So it's fine to use it for money/greed purposes, but communicating with another person is wrong!

  • Comment removed

  • just the other day this guy started having a conversation with me over twitter, geez just message me on skype god dam it!

  • Stop calling a computer not made by Macintosh a PC.. PC stand for Personal Computers.. Mac's are PC's as well! But to the comment below me.. Yes.. mac's are not made for games.. there made for multimedia production.

  • "Hi, I'm a Mac and I'm a PC"

    Sound familiar? that's because that's what apple use in the advertisments they put out...

    Maybe you are right though and they are wrong (in a similar way to how they decided to change the way storage is calculated to make uneducated users happy...)

  • MAN do I agree with you one this. I have my conversations on LinkedIN.

    Chris, Are you on the GoogleWave beta?

  • Why is this video longer than 1 minute? o.O

    Twitter is just status updates. You can do that with facebook, myspace, and now youtube among other things you can do. Twitter just sucks. Period.

  • PC's were not designed for gaming yet there are millions of people that use them for that purpose.

  • It's just most computer gamers are lazy or just don't want to spend money for gaming console. It's also convenient, there's no need to set it up and unpack it afterwards. And still, it does the job.

    Oh, and one more thing, you can use it anywhere and whenever, eg. while you're in classes or lectures. Thou it's not recommended.

  • man, wtf are you talking about?

  • twitter is supposed to be a microblog, isn't it?

  • You could say that in a way, the sense that you can post what you're doing and how you feel, etc. But you can't post images or videos, unless you link them to twitpic (obviously for images only).

    I prefer it more like a platform for people to know what you're doing and keeping up to date with the tweetor (just made this word up). I just personally find it like stalking another person/or group.

  • I don't use twitter at all, but from what I've seen a minute ago it seems to me like it's just the Facebook's "What's on your mind" feature alone... I guess then, that people basicly are bored, and thus look for another web comunity, to start over finding and inviting all of their friends, again...

  • Wow there must never be traffic in Seattle.

    great video

  • Right....yea lets believe that...

  • Chris has finally gathered enough money to afford that private lane on the Seattle road =)

  • me too :P

    well, i agree to everything chris said, especially that it's not used for conversations. but about twitter possibly adding the convo option.. i still wouldn't use it, no point when there's something better, i.e. fb or other IMs

  • twitter is too basic, facebook is more detailed, you cant even have a conversation on twitter! and why cant everything be on twitter, the have link off sites for pics, music etc!

  • I use twitter to keep myself up to date on the information I am interested in.

  • I really don't like twitter.. everyone I know is my friend on facebook.. so if I update my status there it would be pointless to update it on twitter. I think twitter is better for famous/semi famous people who what to let people know what they are doing, without necessarily having to be friends.

  • thank u, twitter sucks, is the same as the old shyt.....hi5

    Go Facebook

  • that car is LOUD on the inside. prius 5, meet honda insight!!! lol Go HONDA. lol i have a civic i wrote civic backwards, could you tell? ur right tho, use facebook.

  • what car do u drive?...off topic

  • prius

  • The Newest Prius....there a video on it...

  • u guys really keep up with him

  • Hahaha slow down chris...You on that wine kid!

  • Very nice thoughts.

  • Isn't it illegal to drive with the lights on in your car while driving?

  • it dependents on where you live

  • I don´t thinkso, but what i think is illegal is:

    RECORD WHILE YOURE DRIVING xD

    Isn´t?

  • no. It is talking to urself, but it is recorded

  • So true i didn't think of that!

  • What IS Twitter Good For?

    It's pretty much just used for calendar style updates.

  • As a web developer. I am sickened to know something as low tech as twitter has become so...popular? Its people like you who make things into something they are not... in this case. Twitter != great

  • i do not even use twitter do not think it is even a necessity

  • I'll have to disagree on this one. I have a twitter client called Twhirl and it gathers updates as they come in and it's quite easy to follow conversations on. I find myself doing it for short periods on more than one occasion. Although I'll agree it's not good for extended conversation.

  • Haha Chris, you're a genius

  • So true! I agree with you fully Chris. I love how it's raining in your video hehe. I love the rain.

  • I want more rain before the snow comes! :(:(:(

    More rainy days Plz god! lol

  • To me Twitter is only good for certain updates. For example subscribing to CAG to track the latest game deals. As for chatting and conversation I would save that for im clients or chatrooms.

  • i find the driving very interesting. seems like driving on a straight line freeway. because i hardly see the turning of the steering wheel. and there are no bumps and shake of the camera much.

  • tweetdeck

  • twitter, what is it good for? uh absolutely nothing

    lol

  • What is Twitter Good For?

  • haha its raining in the background

  • Good vid, I described to a buddy of mine over this weekend twitter as "the ultimate drive by social network". Not an insult to it, it's just that is how it was designed - not for in depth connecting.

  • in california , what he's doing is illegal becase he have his light on inside the car. I think it's illegal atleast.

  • @buh5852930 Who the hell cares?

  • Wow your drivers window has alot of finger prints Chris. What is going on in that Prius?

  • you didn't mention youtube .. great conversations/debates/argument­s

  • I don't think i'd ever wanna be followed.

  • Conversations should be face to face or on the phone if necessary, technology has made this world so impersonal, conversation is more body language than than verbal and technology is taking that away to the point where we lose most of the meaning of what we're trying to say.

  • thats why is harder to say to a gf or a bf, you leave him, but text messages took it over, if you dont got the balls

  • That is so true...I love techies and gadgets social media and whatnot, but I don't tie myself to it. i use it as a means to communicate and keep in touch to those far away from me. But face to face is ALWAYS better. sadly, some people are just not into that anymore. Sad times.

  • When you do something illegal, be sure not to film it!

  • whats illegal on that?

  • What is he doing illegal, recording himself. How is that illegal?

  • you know hes in seattle lol

  • i just got a twitter yesterday i saw that everyone had one so i was like huh what da heck and i got it go to my channel if you wanna follow me the link is in the about me section

  • Pimpin' in the Prius!!

  • what kind of car?

  • i can have a conversation on twitter but it's gonna look weird to anyone reading.

  • twitter is stupid because there isnt have a comment page on twiits.. like jaiku or qaiku has, there you can "chat"

  • it's a different type of conversation, but it's conversation of some sort.

  • 9 & 3 Chris lolz

  • I agree Chris, you can try to have a convo on Twitter but good luck trying to follow it lol.

  • Great Time Management Chris!!

  • one use-tell people how you just lost your virginity

  • @Kaotic009 to bad no one who ever used twitter has had sex. XD just joking

  • truue dat

  • I never found any used for Twitter, when you can always talk to people on the phone.

  • you can track journalist or subjects your interested by following them. IE CNN, Chirs P, or whoever.

  • You are 100% correct.

  • I believe Twitter was used for basically, anything you want it to be.

    So that's not to say that maybe you, Chris, don't want to use it as a conversation tool, though many other people do.

    I agree, it shouldn't be used as a conversation tool, though it is quite nifty to do so.

  • No people can make a conversation much more easily on something like MSN, or AIM, or any other instant messenger.

  • Yahoo groups is another good place to have a conversation. Yahoo groups can also be for conversations around a theme, spirituality, healthcare, a particular craft, etc...

  • @podcastbard, Yahoo groups is a joke, so is 360 and that new micro-blogging platform they launched. It's the same old platform just different names and branding. Yahoo and AOL aren't game-changers when it comes to Social Media. They're more focused on advertising and search.

  • Twitter is in fact a conversation-driven community tool. It just depends on how you use it. Chris, the way you operate your brand is unique, however most "Mom&Pop" start-ups and small businesses choose to use Twitter as an interactive mechanism to engage with their audience. There are many ways to use twitter. It's how you use the @ and hash function which determines the conversation.

  • I agree though, Facebook, Friendfeed and other tools are much more suited for conversations as they offer threading. Twitter only allows 140 characters, so you won't be getting much out of a conversation. You must remember, "Conversation" is a marketing word, it just means where the action is happening, not necessarily that Twitter is literally a tool for conversations, she prob. meant it's a good tool to get your voice across and heard as a blogger etc.

  • It would be cool if you could listen to a video response in your car/train/bus/plane and make a response back.

  • i couldn't agree with you more man lol

  • I so laughed at the fart lol

  • That wasn't a fart.

  • lmao....
