Hope you didn't' unfollow me because of my strawberries and wine tweet the other day. I like to share feelgoods!

I actually came to see the vid you promised Curt! WHERE IS IT?!!!!

Also, Twitter is great fun when there is a very big event happening - eg. Eurovision Song Contest and people's reactions to the different songs and costumes etc. Really enhanced the experience of watching the show live!

Good to see you, my friend!

I'm still following - No problems ;^)

Oh, and that video I promised Curt... I'll be recording it any minute now...

I've not tried Twitter yet. I have a hard time with the limitations of verbage on Youtube when I'm making a comment. The good news is that Youtube helps me become more succinct. But Twitter!!!!! It's useful for minor things. If it's an emergency, I'd rather be called or if it's national or global, I'm hoping the major networks will have it covered before the Twitterologists do. They will not be able to tell me enough about whatever's happening. I'm trying to catch up on vids. Five!

140 characters can sometimes be frustrating, but I'm often amazed at how much information does get through. Thanks!

U've got sum good views, I've tried Twitter but couldn't get a grasp of it, so at the moment, I don't like it either. Diff courses 4 diff horses, I'm not gonna put it down. No matter what people do, there will b others who will put them down 4 it!

[kenrg]

Horses and courses - That's about it!

Maybe Twiiter would not suck if they changed it from "What are you doing?" to "Share something interesting"!

[The64BitGeek]

I tried Twitter, followed the people that I liked and so on and I still didn't like it. I didn't follow people that only posted things like "@ work" "@ lunch", but it still sucked. I wasn't interested about new huricanes in Florida and stuff like that either.

I like your ceiling =)

[drumguru44]

why is everyone so close minded?

[DiLancreRoyalty]

If someone really wanted to know what you are doing THEY WOULD CALL YOU.

If you would want to know what your friends are doing CALL THEM.

Its cool if you want to know more of your celebrities. As it goes to keep up and contacting your friends, lets face it! Myspace has it all. So far its the most complete social network.

Besides I found twitter to be as if: "Myspace Status feature got its own website"

Well at the end of the day, nobody gives a shit about you or what you have to say. Get used to the fact you're a social retard. Bla bla fucking bla. Twitter is a waste of your ever precious time. Create something worthwhile, like a garden plot or something.
