It takes a while to get a feel for twitter. Gadi made many good points about what there is to like about twitter (gee, am I agreeing with Gadi? :) Yes initially it feels like people only tweet about the inane and the mundane.
Looking through recent tweets of people I follow, I see reports on SXSW (which I'm interested in), Lenovo's new pocket pc chingadera, stuff on the bailout & AIG, & a place to test my web site against every browser. A lot of it is a tweet w/a link. Yes, there's mundane stuff too but it's easy to skip over. There's a critical mass of people you need to follow before you get over the "inane & mundane" hump. It helps to follow a diverse group of people, including followees of your followees. My impression is that most people who pooh-pooh Twitter have either never tried it or tried it for a very short time and gave up before getting over the aforementioned "inane & mundane hump". The world's changing. It's not Usenet, bang-path addresses, and dialup BBS's any more and like it or not, we won't be going back there. Change with the times or be changed by them. - Paul - _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
