Is anyone on twitter at the Org?

[Brandon Sheley]

So I've had a twitter account for about a year and used it off an on from time to time. Than I found www.ping.fm and seen I could post my "status updates" to facebook, myspace, twitter.. several sites..

Anyways, I just started getting back into twitter this month by finding www.tweetdeck.com
It's a great app.
Here you can see my graph, you could say it picked up in the last 30 days, that's when I found tweetdeck and seen I could group people.

Anyways, I've seen vBulletin mentioned a few times on twitter, but was interested to find out how many of you are on twitter as well?

Follow me and I'll follow you (unless your just a feed, than I might not) :up:

This poll is not complete. What about "No, it's full of self-consumed idiots who think people actually give a rats ass about what they do in 140 chars or less, every few hours"

Whats your view on facebook ?
I dont use it because i dont want to broadcast details about my life/Freinds etc on the Internet.
And i dont want people to poke me either
I find most of the stuff on the net such as facebook/Youtube is taken over by kids and other idiots who think gang culture is the way forward.

I see Facebook as a great tool for keeping up to date with my friends who I wouldn't normally know what's going on in their life. I don't buy the argument, that if you wouldn't know what they're up to or contact them normally, then they're not real friends. In fact I'd say that's the whole point of facebook, it helps friendships

But.. Isn't that exactly what Twitter is for?

Personally, I have an account at both sites.. Facebook was so I could get some free cleaner for my laptop and I haven't used it once since.. Twitter was just to see what all the fuss was about and haven't used it since either.

Social updating isn't my kind of thing, at all.. I can't find time out of developing to go read that my friend is on his way to a movie, or if he/she just bought the latest game and they "luv it!! LOL!!"

Come over to my house and party, we can catch up on all that shit then and there.. you know, in person? People spend HOURS on these kinds of sites. Literally, hours.. that's extremely sad.

Yes, but to a ridiculously self-consumed level. Not many people on my list update their facebook statuses more than once a day, whereas on twitter I see people tweeting (or whatever stupid verb they're using now) several times a day. Why would I want to twitter, when I can just use facebook.

i dont need facebook or twitter to keep in touch with my real friends

Even real friends are sometimes best left in the background sometimes.
