...It's twitter. Is anything on there ever worthwhile? And by "worthwhile" I don't mean "hilarious" lol.

It's like texting but not to one specific person and usually done without any purpose whatsoever, including actual conversation.

Yes, this has become the official "Kwesi bashes twitter relentlessly" thread.

Looks to me like advertising is about all they are doing.

Yeah, I thought maybe they'd have some cool info about the shop, or more video links to guys jamming on their gear. I don't use Twitter anyway, so no biggie in my world.

Bass players have no need for tweeters.....we want woofers.

Though I was kidding in my last comment, I know that (some of) the shopping public identifies with businesses that provide facebook/twitter links on their company's website.

I'm still trying to figure out what the point of Twitter actually is...

i agree with you, although I think the shopping public also requires content. If Sadowsky just tweets once ever 6 months saying "I am sadowsky, buy my stuff" then I am not interested. However, I do like following people like Ben @ dwarfcraft, moog, and eventide and even music stores like twin town music (minneapolis guitar shop) and sweetwater because they actually post stuff--TT posts goings on in the area, Ben is as crazy as his pedals on twitter, and moog and evintide are posting cool moog/eventide related things/videos. Sweetwater is always posting reviews and stuff like that...I like the content, but if someone joins twitter just to say they've got it, then it's a waste of everyone's time.

I've already been accused of being one, so why bother joining?

I think the point is there's no point.
