Re: [newmellotrongroup] OT - Twitter

The first four letters tell what and for whom.

The Saturday morning "grumpies":
First, MySpace (which I do find useful), then FaceBook (kinda on the periphery but has enabled me to contact a few long-lost friends), and now Twitter (a big f***ing waste of time considering that I already have my friends' direct regular email addresses without having to maneuver through a another damned third-party site).
Typical Twitter examples:
"Woke up early, had spastic diarrhea, missed work, spent most of the day keeping the porcelain altar warm."
"Barack Obama is a Statist, not a Federalist -- Duh!"
"Farted an real juicy one this morning just as I left the elevator before a bunch of people got on - hilarious."
"I'd sure like the chance to rip out a few of Britney's hair extentions, heh heh."
I can go to one of those banal AOL chat rooms if I want drivel like this.
Wrote a message to a member, hit send, was asked if I wanted to open or save the file. NO, I WANT TO SEND THE BLOODY MESSAGE! I'll be fair and give it a month, but I'm beginning to feel more like a Twatter than a Twitter.
You comments on Twitter?
