Sounds like self-obsessed wank for people who actually think other people really give a toss about every boring detail of their sElf-obsessed life.

No offense to people here using it of course and I'd readily stand corrected.

I just had dinner and followed it with a couple of hearty guffs.

Actually, I find it interesting to read stuff about other people's lives. I don't think they care about my postings much.

Still fun though. I thought it sounded stupid, but then I tried it for a bit.

I wouldn't care if one of my closest friends just ate a peanut butter sandwich, why should I care if some random person on I "know" on the internet just ate one.

That's just my opinion of it, if anyone cares.

Whats the point of twitter? I never got it, sorry. Facebook's "Hawken is..." is close enough for me.

I was a doubter before trying it too.

That's what they all say, and look where it brings them.

I'm on it too. I tend to post up links and offensive things when I'm out at the pub.

I would have said something similar, but since you put it so well, I'll just quote you.

Still not entirely sure of the benefits but starting to warm to it after a couple of weeks.

Apart from the site being permanently broken in some way.

First of all, trying to follow people hasn't worked often as the site has been 'over capacity'.

Peoples updates not showing in my feed.

And now, most annoyingly, I can't reply to a private message on there because 'something is technically wrong'. No shit. It's been saying that since last night.

Is this normal on Twitter? Is it normally this shit and unstable?

Yes. It's all part of the fun.

Sub: Just seen your fb update, checked my Twitter, all my followers and the people I was following have gone!

I still can't respond to a private message on there after a week of trying (it's one I'd particularly like to as well!) due to something 'being technically wrong'.

What a wanky, bug-ridden piece of crap web site! Utter garbage.

It has gotten so much worse recently. I've given up on it a wee bit. I like tumblr now, much better!

Haha, you're such a fickle woman!

I doubt I'll be on there for long, I'd happily delete my account now, I just want to reply to one message first – and it won't let me do it!
