Amanda Palmer said at her gig the other night she was now addicted to it
you missed a gold opportunity there mate
yeah i was gonna sign up more for entertainment value to read their posts, not so much to post random stuff about myself...
sadly, its just annoying wankers who think everyone else actually cares as much about their life as they do.
needless to say, the few twitterers i know of are incredibly annoying sociopathic ego maniacs with their heads shoved so far up their arses they can see out of their mouths.

Hey
I joined to follow Shaq, now following Murs, Snoop, Xzibit, Kevin Smith, Z Trip
Sure there are loads of others as well.
Yeah but you are logged in right?
Log out and tell me if you still see them. mums want to know about soup consumption people!
That explains why john mayer kept talking about the campbells soup he was eating
I looked at some random celebrities and couldn't understand why it would be interesting (although I don't care for facebook or myspace either). Every few comments from Adam Sandler were random quotes from his films, it was so obvious that it wasn't really him!
OMG
Running late to a meeting? I might log onto twitter and tell everyone Im late.....
1) GOING ON THE INTERWEBS WHEN YOU ARE RUNNING LATE MAKES YOU LATER
2) PEOPLE WHO ARE SITTING IN MEETINGS ARENT SITTING ON THE INTERWEBS BECAUSE THEY ARE IN A MEETING
AND 3) AND IF THERE IS A MINUTE PROBABILITY THAT IF SOMEONE IS ON THE INTERWEBS DURING A MEETING, THERE IS EVEN A SMALLER PROBABILITY THAT THEY WILL BE LOGGED ONTO TWITTER IN THE HOPE OF LOCATING THEIR WORK COLLEGUE.
A lot of people Twitter from their mobile though.
Unless their business is drug dealing
If you are 'running late' to a meeting that would suggest to me that you aren't in fact in the meeting yet
Ok....Travellers
Even then, it seems like half of these people go half way around the world just to sit on the internet somewhere else...
Similar to going to England and hanging out with Australians!!!
Dont see any benefits in joining twitter - Though I can see how the Mobile aspect is attractive to people, as its very basic it would use very little bandwidth to send/deliver the updates.
No but your work collegues who are waiting for you probably are
Or go half way round the world to break their ankle!
You don't go to many meetings, do you Erika?
I probably have 3 or 4 meetings a week with people within my agency and people within other government agencies. I only go to meetings that are relevant to the work Im doing and are relevant to making some sort of change or decision within South Australia. And if I was ever invited to a meeting where it was a 'waste time' meeting, I would probably decline it.
I dont go to a meetings based on what will happen in a video game. I would probably shoot myself in the head if I ever had to.
Well then, if you're going to shoot yourself, you're invited to my next one.
(oops this is Hayley laughing not Nes)
I can see that working for them, sort of, fans may wanna know their idol's every move, consequently knowing their every move, the celeb might actually be left alone instead of having fans physically follow them everywhere. but does that also mean the paparazzi can log in too ?
and i do think the idea itself "micro-blogging", "micro-diary noting" etc is useful, researchers could update each other on stuff in their department, people working in teams that are spread across the country or the world could keep updated etc.
I'm sure some relevant and exceptionally versatile examples are already in swing...
But it does raise an interesting social consideration.
Does facebook, myspace, twitter and the like develop their own culture of use ? or is the culture virtually the same across all platforms of information sharing among friends and colleagues.
e.g. if you tell people what you eat, where you went on the weekend etc ONLY on twitter, and not on any other social networking site, then why just not have one social networking site to say everything on ? why spread it out over different places in cyberspace ??!!
seems ridiculous in that regard, next they'll have twitter "business", and twitter "music", kinda like myspace has done

don't think about it, just feel it...
As has already been mentioned, twitter is easy to use from a mobile phone so people would use it in a different way than other networking sites.
Also different people use different networking sites, so if you want to keep in touch with all of the people you know you may need to use lots of different systems.
*giggles*
Im invited? Declined
) does that mean we will all have to log into five different social networking sites ? , more than half the mobile phones out there today will be obsolete in a year or so anyways, dare we say twitter is a fad ? with a limited market share ? and demographic ?
Whether a person chooses facebook over myspace over twitter is partial to the fact that when one site becomes "boring" or "slow" ( ie , no action, not many messages, too much maintenance, stalkers etc), people go to the other, and flip-flop back and forth, then of course alot of people use facebook because they cant use other sites at work etc etc.
At the moment, i see twitter as a go-between until java language and apps are better streamlined to work on small devices. And just as mixi.jp is the japanese version of myspace, sort of, most social networking sites will copy each others ideas until they all do the same job.
There's good news though, some companies are developing accounts that allow the user to differentiate between "work" crew, friends "crew", family and "dating" crew, not like the friend categories on myspace now, but when you add someone with these new apps soon, you'll be able to specify whether they are "work" "family" dating etc, so that when they log in or view your profile, that they will only see what you want them to see, possibly eradicating the problems associated with the example of "DOB the narcissist's" example posted below (whether that's actually real tweets or not i don't know, link or STFU !!)

Haven't been on Twitter in weeks!
AND I HAVE MISSED YOU
Thanks
youre not exactly selling it to me rob
to me it just comes across as the most extreme form of shallowness and dumbing down, exemplifying the stupid stereotype of Gen-Y not having any attention span
where can this lead? electronic grunts? blogs replacing real news? hehe. dont mind me, im just yet to have the value in twitter demonstrated.
Not surprising really, I've already seen News.com.au using peoples twitter posts as eye witness type reports.
Not trying to sell anything to you. It's hardly my fault if you have nothing interesting to say.
I don't mind it... I rarely look at it though (blocked at work)
However, I gotta say:
It's not news. It's propaganda. And when it's not propaganda, it's inane bullshit.
Just because News Limited has reduced journalism to a packaged product, fed by PR people and printed by immoral alcoholics to an audience who are really only interested in the sports pages, doesn't mean that's what it should be.
By positioning itself as a legitimate news source, twitter is doing the world a great deal of harm.
There ARE news stories there, but it's the job of journalists to follow them and expand on them, not report tweets as the news.
/end rant
I don't think Twitter is positioning itself as a "legitimate news source". I think that they make a platform which people, and corporations, use to send messages and communicate.
You don't have to use it. You don't have to read the posts. The fact is, a lot of people are using it and are paying attention to it, and it's not going to go away.
Perhaps instead of complaining about how it's not used properly (in your opinion), you could put your energies into using it in a way that you agree with?
dude, i just clicked on your twitter feed or whatever the hell its called.
people in glass houses is all that needs to be said
seriously though, im not having a dig, im genuinely interested - but what compels you to post this sort of thing? is it belief that someone might be interested? is it an online sms diary? or some semi-public-semi-private open personal conversation kind of thing like when people hijack threads with single post smileys?
i still dont get the point.
maybe its just that im too time-poor to ever GAF about someones tweets?
You have an opinion and you're entitled to it.
I mainly use the service to follow those I am interested in. You can usually get some good links and information on topics you're interested in.
For example, I follow an artist called Olly Moss. He does some very cool work, but I won't remember to check his Flickr page every few days. Instead, I check his tweets and when he uploads a new piece, I can click on the link in Twitter and be taken directly to the Flickr page. Very convenient.
I follow politicians, musicians, video game studios etc. As mentioned above, if I want more information on a topic which has been posted, I can click the links or come back to it later.
As for my own posts, well, I am still learning how to use the service. I hope to launch a blog as part of my freelancing business soon and hopefully my tweets becoming a little more interesting.
How about you put your energies into sucking my cock?
I guess it depends on what you find interesting. I have over 100 RSS feeds and my bookmark list is too long to count. I am constantly finding things of interest on the internet. If I can receive updates via Twitter, or Facebook, or RSS, about new content I am interested in, how is that not a good thing?
Of course, everybody is different and some people only have a few RSS feeds and check a few sites regularly. If they don't need a micro-blogging service to help them find what they want then Twitter isn't going to be that appealing.
I think that a lot of people are assuming that everyone is interested in what everyone else is thinking. I don't believe this is the case. I don't really want to know what Kevin Rudd had for breakfast and I don't really care if Busta Rhymes is trying to promote the new Ghostface album.
What I do like is when someone posts something meaningful, or thoughtful. They might not care what I have to say a whole lot, but I want to know more about what they are working on, or what they think about a particular topic.
If you truly believe that it's just one big ego-driven wankfest, then don't read it. You will be happier for it.
I guess my approach is I'd rather have access to the information I want, when I want it, and ignore it when I want to, then write off a service because a few celebrities post about their breakfast cereal.
No, it's not. It's about connecting with and engaging with people in real-time. People a lot smarter than you and I are seeing it's potential to reach mass audiences in a nearly instantaneous way. Never in the history of communications has such a thing been possible before. It's an extremely powerful communications tool and there is very good reason why it's nearly valued at $1bn.
People need to stop thinking about this platform in terms of their own insecurities being driven by the fact that some small-town dickhead is going to give them shit about posting something onto the internet. If you have something to say, put it up there and back it up.
Why is everyone so worried about what their mates are going to think because they post on Twitter?
Only if I can tweet about it after?
Of course. It would give Jayar a reason for subscribing to your tweet...
If you are referring to my post Oli?.. People have mentioned my tweets to me. Saying ‘oh yeh, I saw that on your twitter’ oh and people bringing up my tweets thinking its all about them.. It is lame at times!
not that i know of.
I have an account that I don't use, but seriously
It will last the year, easy.
Great article on Twitter in the NY Times. Might help you find new appreciation for the service, Josh.

Have been checking that for a while. Hilarious.
The guy has apparently gotten a book and TV deal out of it too.
Oh man that guy is gold. I can't believe he got a book deal so quickly though, I just finished looking through them all; it's only a few months worth. He deserves a deal though, what a champ. He's like an angrier, cruder Seinfeld.

Fad IMO.
i personally just cant be bothered with it.
information overload (much of it pointless shit) sums up twitter for me. ive had to 'hide' more than enough people on facebook so that i can actually see what friends are doing rather that what some facebook-whore's fave brand of chips are from one hour to the next... its hard enough finding enough time to listen to the plethora of tunes out there, i cant be arsed scanning everyones cat's 1 line faux-blog or open SMS stream.
no disrespect to anyone on it or the facebook whores either, do what you want with your spare time, but gets to a point when you realise how little value much of it is. my 2c...
If you spent that long on a post on AM, you have plenty of time for twitter
Shatner!? Lol!
Yep, he's a legend!
Haha that's great. I wonder if BP can take action against that person though?
follow me!
lol nah. I signed up a few weeks back to keep up to date with off season Warrior news. I have nfi how to use it
yeah took me a while to 'get it'
you dont necessarily need to post, but once you start following a few people it can be a good boredom killer/timewaster. comes in handy with blogs/sites announcing when they post up their new mixes or articles, loads of entertainment from some of the joke/fake profiles, plus its all done in 140 characters so if a tweet is boring, its only boring for about 5 seconds before you move on to the next one.
I pretty much only read it on the bus. I need to do a cull of my list though
RT will always mean Rotten Tomatoes to me.
+1
anyone i should be following? who are your faves?
Danny Devito is funny. Just posts up pics of his foot 'Troll Foot'
Kevin Durant is good as well. he tweets a fair bit and genuinely seems like a cool guy. He tell shis followers to come meet him at malls and then buys them shoes. No shit.
http://kevindurant35.com/2010/08/15/kevin-durant-buys-twitterfacebook-follower-a-pair-of-shoes/
Redman is funny when he occasionally gets on there too.
Isnt he gay?
All that money and he still wants free Maccas!
He's clearly not the sharpest tool in the shed from the sounds of those tweets.
Ahhhh money sure doesn't buy class
Free maccas

Twitter is a social networking and micro-blogging service. It enables its users to send and read other users' updates (known as tweets), which are text-based posts of up to 140 characters in length.
so basically, imagine facebook, but it only had the status update section and that was it.
still havent signed up... someone post some random celebrity nonsense for me!

Why? Because even basic updates are meaningful to family members, friends, or colleagues—especially when they’re timely.
* Eating soup? Research shows that moms want to know.
* Running late to a meeting? Your co–workers might find that useful.
* Partying? Your friends may want to join you.

In a business meeting? Me no think so
Most of the time the people are invited to the meeting are expected to input something relevant... or at least listen to the discussion.

I probably have 3 or 4 meetings a week with people within my agency and people within other government agencies. I only go to meetings that are relevant to the work Im doing and are relevant to making some sort of change or decision within South Australia. And if I was ever invited to a meeting where it was a 'waste time' meeting, I would probably decline it.
I dont go to a meetings based on what will happen in a video game. I would probably shoot myself in the head if I ever had to.

Hey
I joined to follow Shaq, now following Murs, Snoop, Xzibit, Kevin Smith, Z Trip
Sure there are loads of others as well.

I can see that working for them, sort of, fans may wanna know their idol's every move, consequently knowing their every move, the celeb might actually be left alone instead of having fans physically follow them everywhere. but does that also mean the paparazzi can log in too ?
and i do think the idea itself "micro-blogging", "micro-diary noting" etc is useful, researchers could update each other on stuff in their department, people working in teams that are spread across the country or the world could keep updated etc.
I'm sure some relevant and exceptionally versatile examples are already in swing...
But it does raise an interesting social consideration.
Does facebook, myspace, twitter and the like develop their own culture of use ? or is the culture virtually the same across all platforms of information sharing among friends and colleagues.
e.g. if you tell people what you eat, where you went on the weekend etc ONLY on twitter, and not on any other social networking site, then why just not have one social networking site to say everything on ? why spread it out over different places in cyberspace ??!!
seems ridiculous in that regard, next they'll have twitter "business", and twitter "music", kinda like myspace has done

As has already been mentioned, twitter is easy to use from a mobile phone so people would use it in a different way than other networking sites.
Also different people use different networking sites, so if you want to keep in touch with all of the people you know you may need to use lots of different systems.
This article or section is in need of attention from an expert on the subject.

As has already been mentioned, twitter is easy to use from a mobile phone so people would use it in a different way than other networking sites.
So, when myspace-mobile or facebook-mobile starts up ( which they will, cause its one big competition out there ) does that mean we will all have to log into five different social networking sites ? , more than half the mobile phones out there today will be obsolete in a year or so anyways, dare we say twitter is a fad ? with a limited market share ? and demographic ?Also different people use different networking sites, so if you want to keep in touch with all of the people you know you may need to use lots of different systems.
Everyone i've met has a facebook and a myspace. Miss Ledz recently, for example, closed her normal myspace account and merged it, so to speak, with her myspace MUSIC account, to make it easier for her. Whether a person chooses facebook over myspace over twitter is partial to the fact that when one site becomes "boring" or "slow" ( ie , no action, not many messages, too much maintenance, stalkers etc), people go to the other, and flip-flop back and forth, then of course alot of people use facebook because they cant use other sites at work etc etc.
At the moment, i see twitter as a go-between until java language and apps are better streamlined to work on small devices. And just as mixi.jp is the japanese version of myspace, sort of, most social networking sites will copy each others ideas until they all do the same job.
There's good news though, some companies are developing accounts that allow the user to differentiate between "work" crew, friends "crew", family and "dating" crew, not like the friend categories on myspace now, but when you add someone with these new apps soon, you'll be able to specify whether they are "work" "family" dating etc, so that when they log in or view your profile, that they will only see what you want them to see, possibly eradicating the problems associated with the example of "DOB the narcissist's" example posted below (whether that's actually real tweets or not i don't know, link or STFU !!)

Your whole argument is ruined by the fact that you can already access these sites by mobile.

Quote from: http://celebrities.ninemsn.com.au/blog.aspx?blogentryid=357981&showcomments=true&ocid=T112HMT03A1405G
Even The Queen is on Twitter
Lily Allen loves it, Miley and Britney are all over it like a rash - now even Queen Elizabeth II is finding out how one uses a Twitter account to share her celeb life with the world!
The 82-year-old monarch is already hip to technology, sending text messages to her grandkids and posting Christmas messages on YouTube.
Now Her Majesty's people are reportedly looking into helping her become the first royal to use celeb fave Twitter to document an event to be held today in the UK.
"...A blow-by-blow account of the Queen's Commonwealth Observance... will appear live on the blogging website Twitter," reports the UK Telegraph.
"Officials will send 'tweets' about the rehearsals, the arrangements and the service itself."
The Guardian have said the Twitter-ers in question will be Westminster Abbey officials rather than representatives of the Queen herself - whatever, we're just loving the idea of Her Majesty going wild sending updates on her royal Blackberry!

Police said they believed Maria Barbu, 17, had tried to plug in her laptop with wet hands after the battery died during a long session on social networking site Twitter as she took a soak at her home in Brasov, central Romania.
She was found dead by her parents with the laptop lying next to her.

I don't mind the service. I rarely post that often but I read the posts of those I am following a few times a day. I even find myself waiting for what Mike Rann and Kevin Rudd have to say.
I don't get in front of the TV news often, so getting updates at a time that suits me is convenient. If I read something I want more information about, I can either surf for it there and then or come back to it later.
Twitter has been successful because it builds on methods already developed by text messaging. People are used to condensing their thoughts into a set number of characters in their mobile devices, so Twitter is a natural extension of that idea.
I do agree that in a few years we will probably be onto some other social networking medium through the continmued development of intelligent, interactive software and powerful handheld devices (such as the iPhone).

I don't mind it... I rarely look at it though (blocked at work)
However, I gotta say:
It's not news. It's propaganda. And when it's not propaganda, it's inane bullshit.
Just because News Limited has reduced journalism to a packaged product, fed by PR people and printed by immoral alcoholics to an audience who are really only interested in the sports pages, doesn't mean that's what it should be.
By positioning itself as a legitimate news source, twitter is doing the world a great deal of harm.
There ARE news stories there, but it's the job of journalists to follow them and expand on them, not report tweets as the news.

I don't think Twitter is positioning itself as a "legitimate news source". I think that they make a platform which people, and corporations, use to send messages and communicate.
You don't have to use it. You don't have to read the posts. The fact is, a lot of people are using it and are paying attention to it, and it's not going to go away.
Perhaps instead of complaining about how it's not used properly (in your opinion), you could put your energies into using it in a way that you agree with?

dude, i just clicked on your twitter feed or whatever the hell its called.
people in glass houses is all that needs to be said
seriously though, im not having a dig, im genuinely interested - but what compels you to post this sort of thing? is it belief that someone might be interested? is it an online sms diary? or some semi-public-semi-private open personal conversation kind of thing like when people hijack threads with single post smileys?
i still dont get the point.
maybe its just that im too time-poor to ever GAF about someones tweets?

I mainly use the service to follow those I am interested in. You can usually get some good links and information on topics you're interested in.
For example, I follow an artist called Olly Moss. He does some very cool work, but I won't remember to check his Flickr page every few days. Instead, I check his tweets and when he uploads a new piece, I can click on the link in Twitter and be taken directly to the Flickr page. Very convenient.
I follow politicians, musicians, video game studios etc. As mentioned above, if I want more information on a topic which has been posted, I can click the links or come back to it later.
As for my own posts, well, I am still learning how to use the service. I hope to launch a blog as part of my freelancing business soon and hopefully my tweets becoming a little more interesting.

twitter is just a glorified fb/myspace status update.
Sure it might be useful for following the odd thing of interest, but how hard is it to follow certain sites bookmarked or rss'd.. maybe you're not that interested in them in the first place.
As for the general public, if i really wanted to know what people had for lunch or what mood they were in, i'd ask.
It's a pathetic twist of the ego driven mind to think that every minute thing you do or thought you have is important enough to make public & tell the world about.

i tend to agree with jaycar here. twitter is just another social networking site aimed at fulfilling our egotistical needs. do people really care what we are doing and thinking 24/7? probably not, but it makes you act as if they do. celebrities love it because they can feed on their ego trip to their fans without having to actually interact with them.
however, it is very useful in certain situations such as the one frost pointed out. alot of people don't have time to check websites all the time for updates on things etc, so twitter is a great way to let your demographic know about a content update, then they can simply follow the link and view it if they want.

I guess it depends on what you find interesting. I have over 100 RSS feeds and my bookmark list is too long to count. I am constantly finding things of interest on the internet. If I can receive updates via Twitter, or Facebook, or RSS, about new content I am interested in, how is that not a good thing?
Of course, everybody is different and some people only have a few RSS feeds and check a few sites regularly. If they don't need a micro-blogging service to help them find what they want then Twitter isn't going to be that appealing.

I think that a lot of people are assuming that everyone is interested in what everyone else is thinking. I don't believe this is the case. I don't really want to know what Kevin Rudd had for breakfast and I don't really care if Busta Rhymes is trying to promote the new Ghostface album.
What I do like is when someone posts something meaningful, or thoughtful. They might not care what I have to say a whole lot, but I want to know more about what they are working on, or what they think about a particular topic.
If you truly believe that it's just one big ego-driven wankfest, then don't read it. You will be happier for it.
I guess my approach is I'd rather have access to the information I want, when I want it, and ignore it when I want to, then write off a service because a few celebrities post about their breakfast cereal.

No, it's not. It's about connecting with and engaging with people in real-time. People a lot smarter than you and I are seeing it's potential to reach mass audiences in a nearly instantaneous way. Never in the history of communications has such a thing been possible before. It's an extremely powerful communications tool and there is very good reason why it's nearly valued at $1bn.
People need to stop thinking about this platform in terms of their own insecurities being driven by the fact that some small-town dickhead is going to give them shit about posting something onto the internet. If you have something to say, put it up there and back it up.
Why is everyone so worried about what their mates are going to think because they post on Twitter?

That is awesome!
There are so many people that think Twitter will fail because who wants to read pointless dribble from some random pop star etc, but its so much bigger than that, yes, that is all you hear about in the news and media but there are millions of active users, both individuals and businesses, that are sharing useful information.
I personally don't get it(more so because I haven't bothered to put any time into it), but I can certainly see its uses.
The only reason it would fail is because of a lack of income. They mention in their about us that they spend more than they currently make and are still in a research phase.
There are no paid services or advertisers currently using it but I am sure all of this will come in time.

The role of Shatner’s son, played in the pilot by Cougar Town‘s Ryan Devlin, is being recast. To recap, CBS has now ordered four dramas (Hawaii 5-0, Defenders, Blue Bloods, and Criminal Minds 2) and two comedies (Mike and Molly, $#*! My Dad Says) for fall.

yeah took me a while to 'get it'
you dont necessarily need to post, but once you start following a few people it can be a good boredom killer/timewaster. comes in handy with blogs/sites announcing when they post up their new mixes or articles, loads of entertainment from some of the joke/fake profiles, plus its all done in 140 characters so if a tweet is boring, its only boring for about 5 seconds before you move on to the next one.

rt = retweet

I pretty much only read it on the bus. I need to do a cull of my list though
When I die. I want to be frozen. And if they have to freeze me in pieces, so be it. I will wake up stronger than ever, because I will have used that time, to figure out exactly why I died. And what moves I could have used to defend myself better now that I know what hold he had me in.

Danny Devito is funny. Just posts up pics of his foot 'Troll Foot'
Kevin Durant is good as well. he tweets a fair bit and genuinely seems like a cool guy. He tell shis followers to come meet him at malls and then buys them shoes. No shit.

Redman is funny when he occasionally gets on there too.

CALIFORNIA Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger took an opportunity to poke fun at Sarah Palins claim that it was possible to see Russia from Alaska as he flew over the state en route to Asia for a trade mission.
“Over Anchorage, AK. Looking everywhere but can't see Russia from here. Will keep you updated as search continues,” Schwarzenegger wrote on his Twitter page Thursday.
The Republican governor attached a picture of himself gazing out the window of the plane, presumably keeping watch.
While running as the Republican vice presidential candidate in 2008, Ms Palin - Alaska’s governor at the time - famously said in an interview with ABC's Charlie Gibson "you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska," when he asked her how proximity to the country gave her insight into Moscow's actions around the world.
