Amazing how Twitter.com took off...
Smart guys..... if you have registered, you notice by your email address how they have contracted with the top 5 companies like yahoo, aol, msn, etc. and checks every single person you have emailed or received email from....nice
|
it's idiot proof
"I just took a shit" ... <enter> :1orglaugh |
yeah it sure didn't take long to become popular
|
Its getting an amazing amount of free publicity as I see it mentioned daily on radio/tv. It appears to be nothing more than micro blogging, but the viral effect has taken over and its the "in" thing to be doing right now.

What is so hot about twitter?
Srs question.. |
I have no clue what twitter is. I checked it a few times because of the hype but so far all i see is random people posting stupid stuff. I'm sure i must be missing something but i have no clue what.

Once you register you need to start inviting people....thats all you need to grow fast...INVITE others :-) |
Honestly, I tried to be hooked on MySpace. I tried to be hooked on Facebook.... never did! Now I am trying again to be hooked on Twitter..... Not really hooked, no... Not like some people that "lives" on twitter........ But hey, still trying :1orglaugh

I totally don't get that site. Isn't just like broadcast text messages?
I can barely muster the concentration to listen to my own friends and family prattle on about their boring lives, let alone self obsessed celebrities or strangers. But I assume one day someone will invent a social networking concept that will hook me and I'll look just as pathetic as everyone who is twittering now. |
Its been around a LOOOONG time.
|
The owners of Twitter deserve their success. Obviously, viral type, social networking sites are all the rage right now. Twitter put their own spin on that genre and made it work.

I can sort of understand something coming out like this and getting hype in the media so a bunch of sheep in the public jump on the bandwagon, but it seems strange to me to read here at this supposed learned webmaster type crowd here on gfy getting on the same bandwagon..... I really don't get it |

Here's a hint about twitter for those of you that "dont get it" yet...
if you follow smart people that post insightful tweets you learn/discover things ahead of the pack. Having knowledge before your competitors is the key. And a good webmaster knows how to turn prior knowledge (finding out things before other webmasters) into $$$. but hell, i am not going to try and talk you into seeing the benefits of twitter, it'd just be more competition for me :winkwink: |
I didn't understand it at first but I'm starting to use it for business. It isn't such a waste of time after all
|
Ok, i'm not being sarcastic here, i just feel very stupid. Can someone tell me wtf it is.
All i see is some random text from god knows who. What is it supposed to do? Do i need to see other pages? Is there something else than random notes? I'm serious. I really don't understand it. |
Twitter has no income. Built into my ps3. Pushed all over articles in newspapers and TV. I tried it out and think it is a piece of shit...
|
In the UK the turning point was about two months ago when suddenly the BBC decided every one of its big radio shows needed to be twittering...BOOM..now it is everywhere.
I am loving it with my mainstream sites especial. Plus, on my personal non-biz account I have had a weird one on one conversation going on between me and my favourite radio presenter for a month now. Kind of cool. |
i still don't get it .. seems like a glorified instant message board .. am i missing something?
however i'm getting adds,daily ... now what? |
good company and concept
|
way overhyped :2 cents:
|
I don't get what it does
|
What's amazing about is it shows how eager people are today to be popular, important, make money online.
I miss the days of being made fun of for being online. Now EVERYONE is in online. It's good and bad all at the same time. Too many newbz. |

years ago the internet used to be so much more innocent, people set up webrings and made sites just because they liked the subject, where users never even thought about the webmasters that were doing it to make money, now everyone knows that if they click on something that someone might be making money from it Quote:

I'm going to take this opportunity to post my twitter http://twitter.com/xxaru :thumbsup
|
Me not understand new things me smash with fist.

I promote mainstream sites on Twitter and the key is to get your link read (and viralized) by 'influential' people. It's great!:thumbsup |

Twitter is just glorified Facebook status updates.
People get mocked to HELL if they update their facebook status more than once a day or once a week.. but Twitter people update every 10 seconds.. and it's ok.. it's crazy.. |
Yep, they really took off, and such a simple idea....amazing...

I first heard about it on CNN. Been hearing about it on CNN and every other tv/radio show ever since. Pretty easy to blow up with all the media and celebrity hype. It can probably be use for marketing and generate decent income source. Personally I don't get it. Text messaging? What do I care what the average joe or average celebrity is doing 24/7? Like somebody else said, the last thing I want to do is spend time reading two- sentence long boring drivel about others' lives.
