I still can not find any reason to read or contribute to Twitter at all. I guess it really boils down to “why the heck should I care.” For instance, I read the Tweet or whatever web hipsters call it that this post is associated with and my first impression was… who cares. Who cares how people are using it and who cares that Jeffrey does like some of the ways they are. There is nothing resourceful in “I am eating this type of food.” or “Design is true communication” microblogging type posts. I suppose it just isn’t for me since I feel I have better things to do to announce what I am eating or 140 characters of how I personally feel about any given subject and/or read the same. My true friends know how to contact me and I them, the rest of the internet should also have better things to do than waste time on reading my ramble. Out of all the social network trends to me Twitter is by far the corniest and most desperate for attention.

[...] Fish tacos FTW nom nom nom You can look at Twitter as text messaging or as micro-blogging. If it’s text-messaging, of concern only to your closest friends, then content such as “Dude, where are you? We’re in the mezzanine” is perfectly appropriate, and “Fish tacos FTW nom nom nom” is practically overachievement. If it’s micro-blogging, then you may … [...]

i stumbled upon your blog while looking for an email address so i could ascii you why the W3C validator keeps rejecting my doctype.

[no, no not that stumble -- you know, stumble, the old fashioned one]

anyway your link to favrd is great.

i actually laughed [love soupy sales]

i never have gotten twitter
but, then, again, my cell phone is still on a party line.

[no, no not that kind of party line -- you know, party line., the old fashioned one as in "hello central"]

i would say i’m just too old for twitter, except i found larry king on favrd
then, again, have you ever read his column?
one long string of sms sized tidbits

truly a man ahead of his time

Your Frank Rich, South Pacific tweet last week end inspired me to read his column and then to buy two tickets.
You were both clever and cryptic – enough to intrigue, but not infuriate.
PS-I cried, too.
Thank you.

I always enjoy your Twitter updates. But I think Twitter is for life as well as art, and will gladly tolerate the dull tweets of friends as much as the polished wit of a stranger — I like a mix of both.

It is ironic that blogging and commenting about twitter takes more than 140 characters. Funny stuff.

I think Twitter should be used in any way that people see fit. I read an interview with one of the flickr masterminds recently, and he said something about letting an application grow into something other than what you might have originally intended (or something like that, and, sadly, I have no citations). I think this is good–Twitter might have originally been a place to let people know what you’re up to, but people have decided to use it for other things. I’ve seen folks ask for advice, hold conversations, or just fart out something that was on their brains.

As in all communities (even those in the real word), there are members who will despise the fact that others don’t have the same idea about what makes the community an enjoyable place to be. I guess people who don’t smile in real life bring the same hum-drummery onto the Internet.
