the idea of twitter is realy stupid , they just run out of idea i gues to make it famous , big companies look hungry to what ever attract the most users and millions of users , contacts, emails, so they can use them for marketing , twitter is far away from that , hey could have developed a better idea better than twitter to attract people what they like , what they favor , and dislike , but it seems that media just as it blow the lid out of any news happening , twitter does get people to say what they like and share stupid daily things , but it is a matter of time unitl people really LOOSE INTEREST in twitter , it is like new music video that in few months will get old , hopfully who ever made twitter don’t just sit enjoys the fame , if they mean business thy need to think series “will we got here on the stage , if we don’t bring new joke or new scene audiance wil be pored and leave ” Some one out there should be thinking whay people liked twitter .

somewhat related article, the title’s the important thought: “There’s Twitter the company, and twitter the medium.”

I “get” twitter, but I hate it. I hate hearing about it every 5 seconds. I hate the name of it. I don’t tweet because I’m not an f’n bird, I’m a person.

I’m willing to bet that Twitter will make no money and be gone in less than 5 years. Within that time, they will be replaced by something better with a better name and no 140 char limit unless you’re posting by cell phone.

Thank you.

I keep seeing all these journalists and otherwise smart people either looking at Twitter as a sort of amusing new web phenomenon or actively dissing it as ridiculous and stupid, and frankly, I don’t understand where all the Twitter hate comes from. Sure, the majority of tweets probably are boring and stupid; that’s why you only follow people whose updates genuinely interest you (or use something like TweetDeck to filter them into groups).

I mostly got into it because it’s way easier to make short Twitter updates somewhat regularly than to do full blog entries, and also because it’s like Facebook status updates except they last longer. Turned into a useful way to share and get information, spread links, that kind of thing. So it’s nice to see someone writing an intelligent defense of Twitter in the face of all the stupid.

My argument isn’t that people who don’t get Twitter are stupid.

I’m suggesting our daily lives are mostly uninteresting, and a steady stream of updates will probably reflect that, but the ability to archive, search and parse the data transmutates the ephemera into something useful and fascinating.

Of course, this argument only holds if you actually need a signal. Plenty of people don’t need a constant stream of information. That doesn’t mean their stupid for not “getting” Twitter. It just means Twitter isn’t for them.

Its interesting (and depressing) to see the so-called “elite” journalists on tv these days not understanding twitter. It reminds me of when they discovered the internet in the mid to late 90s. Honestly, I think that they believe its just another nail in the coffin for what they do. I’m sure they’re all nervously asking “why watch the news when you can follow twitter trends?” They believe its a condensing of an already condensed form that’s out to ruin “the news.” Unfortunately, they managed to ruin that all alone with little help from twitter.
