Do you have a Twitter?
I follow Acurazine on Twitter but don't follow anyone here as I don't recall recognizing any names. Anyways, I'm eddie878 on Twitter. I don't have many followers but I tend to post about stuff I read about like cell phones, video games, electronics, sports, TV shows, breaking news and funny quotes. What's your Twitter name and what do you tweet about?

Those that don't have it, you don't have to post tweets or anything. It's the fastest way to get information, especially if you link certain members' tweets to your cell phone. Like if you play fantasy football and follow Adam Schefter or Chris Berry from ESPN, they'll give you valuable info on Twitter first.

If you have an iPhone I'd also recommend you download the app called Echofon. It's free and really easy to use for Twitter. Better than the official Twitter app IMO.

No.

Well, I lied.
I signed up for it because one of my teachers thought it would be a good communication tool. It wasn't. Not for her.


I haven't been on since.

I don't use any social networking sites (facebook, etc.)

Waste of time IMO.

I've had an account for a while, but I don't post anything.

I just follow some sports, tech, political and healthcare-related sites.

And I use Echofone.

I like the animosity towards Twitter in here....what are you all afraid of? It's changed and enriched my life in ways I never would have dreamed possible.

I've posted a lot of stuff in the Apple thread hours after it hit Twitter. Same with sports and news.

I think a lot knock it because it's popular so sometimes it's cool to hate the big guy. A lot of people hated Facebook including myself but saw that's actually entertaining as is Twitter. You can simply control your notifications so no need to be harassed via text. It's gone to mainstream media so it's a great supplement to gathering information.

I don't twitter, I don't care to share anything in particular.

I can see Twitter being useful for businesses or organizations, but for individuals it just seems incredibly pompous and mundane.

To each his own.

^You're missing the point. It's not always about you sharing. You can have an account and do 0 tweets. Just follow who you deem worthy.

You're right, I do miss the point. I don't have an account nor do I want one

I also get annoyed at text messages sent to my phone with extraneous/unnecessary info duplicating prior e-mails (!!) or verbal discussions.

I follow every Auburn football player that is on it, and two of the recruiting sites I'm on. I have the phone option selected for each player, so that when they tweet I get a text message on my phone (unlimited texts per month).

It's nice to get some updates, but I don't read every tweet. Since September 15th I've gotten 1000 text messages, and I obviously haven't read them all.

I am also still following porn star Bobbi Eden.. she tweeted during the World Cup that if the Netherlands won she would give a BJ to all her followers.. I didn't win

I'm with Ken. I have no need to know what any particular person is doing right now other than the people that I can actually call on the phone. Also, I don't really have any need to share my every move with anyone else either. I actually love my privacy.
