Twits

[the harp unstrung]

So, at my invitation, a young(er), tech-savvier friend loaded Twitter on my phone last weekend.
The New York Rangers and The Sydney Swans have been checking in with me...and that's cool. I'm happy to see that the Dept. Of The Interior (which I help fund) has some folks out there taking Beautiful pictures of our National Parks, and that the beluga whales at the Georgia Aquarium are doing ok...but for the most part, it feels like my friend, David, gave 3 hits of blotter acid to a baby rhino, and then let it loose inside my phone...

How 'bout Your experiences with Twitter?

I signed up to promote my coffee roasting business, but found no real value compared to the time I spent with it. I decided it wasn't for me and stopped using it.

I do not tweeter.

 

[tangentmusic]

No twits for me either.
This place is bad enough..

I have been led to believe that there isn't a bigger cess-pit of narcissism, virtue-signalling and hatred in one place than where the Twits Tweet.

Too funny, I thought of this as soon as I saw the title!

Rhinoplasty!

 

[jchrisk1]

I twittered my girlfriend's yahoo.

Twitter? Have we learned nothing from Facebook?

 

[cfsporn]

I used to be on Twitter from 2006-2008 back when it was populated by geeks and nerds. Once the top followed person went from Kevin Rose or Leo Laporte to Ashton Kucher, I checked myself out.

 

[fendermademygibson]

Nope.

I do not and never have tweeted, tumbled, flicked, snapped, linked, scoped, spaced, faced...okay, I've spaced before but I'm not sure if it was the weed or the LSD ...what were we talking about.

This site is the only "social media" I do. I like this site but it is enough of a time suck for me. I can't imagine how or why so many people keep up with so many "social" accounts.

The webber-netz home page alone can be enough of an overload.

You go on and see that your favorite team won, but the market tanked and/or/so you decide to order some food (never done that either), route a trip, book accommodations, look up a local retailer or whatever and suddenly you find yourself trying to understand why your most awesom-est, best bass for metal, didn't come with a box and only works for every genre ever except the one your into because it's a ****er.

So, is the baby rhino ok?

So, is the baby rhino ok?

Doesn't look like it.

 

[bluesblaster]

I sure hope that poor little rhino doesn't run into any presidential candidates in there, the poor thing will be doomed for sure, those savages will make some sort of sacrificial offering out of the him (or her)

None for me, thanks; no Twitter, FB, Snapchat, Instagram, etc.. My GF uses all of them and she keeps me up to date with important posts (upcoming events, dinners, parties), although they are probably only 5% of the content she sees regularly. I don't get the "everything I do needs to be shared" mentality- okay, your Big Mac looks pretty like in the commercial, good for you (or McDonalds).

 

[ONYX]

None for me thanks. I'd rather chew glass.

 

[fendermademygibson]

I'd rather chew glass.

 

[MJ5150]

None for me thanks. I'd rather chew glass.

This guy has some for you....
