Guest hahathhat Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I work in the corporate recruiting industry and anyone over the age of 40 thinks this is going to revolutionize the internets. I keep trying to tell them if nobody I know in my personal life or on WATMM is using it, it is not going make any big waves. ahaha, you've nailed it and made me LOL in diachronic tandem.

Guest thec Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I hate how my dad asks if I "twit online" whenever some news story about something on the internet surfaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jim Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 i think people can post shit via text message so when Stephen Fry got stuck in a lift recently, he was able to post 'i am stuck in a lift', etc. and keep his fans updated. twat. I think it's quite nice that he bothers. I can't think of any other "celebrity" of his stature who makes any such effort to reach out to their fans. He regularly responds to their comments too. Nobody would think any less of him if he didn't. I can't be arsed with it myself but it's nice to know all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autopilot Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 http://twitter.com/ShawnElliott I like this because he disguises every post in a tinyurl so you don't know what he's linking to. I always forget about it until someone mentions twitter, then I go check the last billion entries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Al Hounos Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I work in the corporate recruiting industry and anyone over the age of 40 thinks this is going to revolutionize the internets. I keep trying to tell them if nobody I know in my personal life or on WATMM is using it, it is not going make any big waves. Plus Facebook took the idea from Twitter and integrated it into a much more useful application. It's already obsolete. I'm in school for journalism and our profs are the same way... told us to sign up for it n stuff. It's funny how everyone who grew up with the web (20-22 year olds in school) thinks its a waste of time and all the oldies are the only ones into it. I guess it's because they missed the first wave so they're grabbing on to anything new and "Web 2.0" that they can find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

six Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Now there's one called Yammer, which is basically Twitter for the corporate world. It's basically so your superiors know what you're working on at all times. I boycott it completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delet... Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 i think people can post shit via text message so when Stephen Fry got stuck in a lift recently, he was able to post 'i am stuck in a lift', etc. and keep his fans updated. twat.

I can't be arsed with it myself but it's nice to know all the same. i too don't dislike steven fry* ... also i have no drive to check out any twitter pages ... * - not having been exposed to him .. beyond that doco he made on his battle with the bipolar bear .. and a couple of skits up on youtube from the 80's .,..and of course blackadder ... perhaps what he is in terms of media image in the UK and surrounds is a little more painful .. ?? tauboo ... ??

kaini Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 so i added a few famous people... neil gaiman's tweets are kind of interesting. warren ellis's tweets are pretty cool too. and stephen fry's are pretty funny. but i have yet to see anything to convince me this is anything beyond a glorified facebook status bar.
