Here is a site I just put up that allows you to answer questions that are posted on twitter.

I downloaded Twhirl.. Didn't like Tweetdeck as it seemed big and bulky. The other recommended one was Mac only. This works good so will probably post more updates.

I bit the bullet a few weeks ago and created a facebook account, dont really use it much as few people I know are on it (think I have 3 friends ....). Never even looked at twitter, tho I have heard of it.

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.

facebook is completely different. there you are friends with people you actually know. and if you dont want your friends to know what you are doing, then you obviously have no need for twitter or facebook.

its for the youngins

facebook is a great tool to find and keep in touch with old friends. without facebook, I would have no way of getting back in touch with hundreds of friends from my college days (and prior)

Twitter actually has a lot of marketing and business value. You don't have to post what you're doing every hour in 140 characters or less. However if you want to share an interesting news story or website with friends or business associates, its very quick and easy to do so. I actually have Firefox setup to do so in one click from the address bar. In return I follow a series of blogs about web development and the environment. I don't have time to go read every post at say Smashingmagazine.com, Sitepoint.com or Mashable.com every single day. So I let them push it to me. It isn't really that much different than signing up for their RSS feed but I do find it easier to weed through stuff that I am not interested in versus an RSS feed.

It also allows me to discover new people, sites and ideas that I probably wouldn't have noticed before. This is its value. If someone has a good site and posts decent updates than I'll follow them. I am not very interested in seeing when someone goes to bed or wakes up or even what they had for dinner but it allows me to get more information off of the Internet over time.

Now, personally, I have my Twitter and Facebook accounts intertwined so any update I post to Twitter goes automatically to Facebook. I find it easier that way.

Now, I am sure that teens and tweens are posting updates saying what they do every minute of the day. In this aspect its just mass SMS messaging. That is the appeal to them. However for professionals, network marketing is and always has been the way to create leads, gain information and make money. Instead of business cards people are now exchanging "tweets" and status updates.

Of course if you have a negative impression of something and aren't even willing to try it out then it will never benefit you.

What does this bogus "survey" have to do with vBulletin?

Shrug... Stuff in this forum isn't supposed to have anything to do with vBulletin though. The rest of the site is dedicated to vBulletin.
