I think twitter is being over used to the point of ridiculousness. One example of ridiculous is our congress taking the time to tweet when they can't even take the time to read the bills they are voting on. Also, news reports find it necessary to report on the mindless dribble that is posted there by the latest "in" person. I chose to get a twitter account to get a discount on something I purchased. All I had to do was tweet the item and the website. That was 4 months ago. Since that time I am constantly emailed saying new people are following my tweets. Why? I have nothing there and never intend to. It's a waste of time, but complete strangers are waiting to hear useless one liners out me. I don't understand it???!!!!

I think it's contributing to the degradation of intelligence in our young people. The max amount of "space" to type on these is about 15kb - which translates to about a 5 word sentence. We are reducing ourselves to 5 word sentences...& therefore promoting improper English, spelling & reading! It cultivates nosiness & bad manners. WHO CARES what time so & so went to a show or dinner or the store and especially to the bathroom?? I think it's really sad that we are condoning such vapid, shallowness in our lives today and I stay clear of people who Tweeter! Same goes for people who are on MySpace. I stay clear of them because they are usually very weird & insecure. Facebook, I have mixed feelings about... I wouldn't use it but I have friends who do and they seem to like some of the features...

It is a total waste of time. If a child has time to do twitter then they have time to help around the house like clean their rooms, do laundry, dust, vacuum, help with the meals, do dishes, take care of the dogs, mow the lawn & do their homework. When I was a child if I said I was bored I had to pull weeds or clean house. I never said I was bored again. Come on parents get control of your children.

If someone thinks that OUR president should use it, or control it, or even give it any thought at all, it just goes to prove there are more TWITS (in the real original meaning) and even in the White House.

I don't care about any of the social networking stuff. I think it is fine for getting in contact with friends, etc. But I think people put too much value on what others think. No one questions validity anymore. why do i care what some star is doing that day. who knows if it is real. They don't care about you or me. It is just feeding their ego. Most actors and people of fame that post on twitter have no connection to the everyday grind that the rest of us face. They are pampered and coddled and then pretend that they have it tough. I don't want to hear how they think the world should be or what they do for it or what they think in general. most of them are just mindless twits that are spoonfed things and can't make up their own mind and just jump at the most popular view to boost their popularity. In short, Twitter is just another sign of the mental decay that racks society today.

Common wisdom would seem to suggest that more and better communication would be better, but experience is showing that it creates more problems and mis-communications. To much communicating and very little understanding. Animals don't speak the same languages and yet they can understand each other. Another indicator that the human ego is larger than anything in the universe. Until we, as humans, realize that we are not the most important thing in the universe, we are doomed and we will take everything else with us.

Twitter is just another way for your "emplyees" to waste their time and your money--and in the long run add to everyone's cost of goods or services. Think about it people!!!!!!

Love it, keeps messages short & sweet. Been using it to keep in touch w/friends, family & business associates since its inception. For the most part all of us using it keep our accounts protected, since it has become a HUGE social network, lots of MLM's on it recently and some spamming of porn as well. That has been a pain and some of us have been thinking about not using it. But it does keep those who love to over text down to small messages! Some folks have been using it as a tool for marketing new businesses and themselves;in that aspect it is a good tool in today's economy. So,for those skeptics if you are out of work or if have lost business any tools you can use to legitimately market yourself or your business; I say go for it!

It's just like any other social networking site. The more you put into the more you'll get out. To have people "follow" you you have to talk about stupid stuff that idiots think are important. People will look for words and then "follow" you until they realize you aren't going to discuss their key words. It's basically a blog. It could be useful for families who are far away and live in different time zones.

Twitter is just an over rated way for people with bad grammar and awful spelling habits to waste time with expensive portable electronic devices, instead of getting of their rears to exercise.

Personally, I think Twitter could be fun if it featured more than what it already does. I feel like a stalker though when you "follow" people around. The same goes for myself, having people "follow" me makes me feel very uncomfortable. The bottom line is: Twitter seems to be overrated and it becomes boring real fast. I know, because I've tried it and just like social networking Web sites, they become a wearing experience after awhile.

I use it to receive news headlines, concert tour updates, sport scores, weather, things like that. It's annoying when people use it to update what they're doing of no importance to me (just used the bathroom, eating cornflakes, etc.). It's also a quick way to let all of my contacts know if there is something happening that they may need to know about (Stuck in traffic, will be ten minutes late, can't make it to the movies tonight, etc.).
