Twitter is gay, and so are you.

Am I the only person who realizes how absolutely fucking pointless twitter is? It’s basically Facebook, sans everything other than your status updates. Please, don’t let it only be me who sees the lunacy in all of this.
Celebrities and athletes all have twitters now-a-days, and news about teams signing certain players is now being broken and confirmed via twitter. I have no idea how or why this happened, but it’s become commonplace to cite “so-and-so’s twitter” as the source of information.
Just yesterday, news broke that the Seattle Mariners and Chone Figgins were close to a deal. The news broke that it was 99% done via Mariner’s Insider Shannon Drayer’s twitter account, and no one flinched or questioned it.
I feel like I’m taking crazy pills over here.
Twitter is glorified text messaging. Twitter is a Facebook status update. Twitter makes no sense to me whatsoever. Twitter needs to die.
If you have a twitter, then do not talk to me. And do yourself a favor…walk into on-coming traffic. Twitter is gay, and so are you.
I am with you here. I Absolutely fucking hate twitter. If you ever see me using it, I give you my permission to hack of my sack while im sleeping.
Could not disagree more. I have it, occasionally use it to update, but rarely because I have few followers because I’m not famous. However, for quick hits, it’s awesome. Every relevant sports writer has it and provides links to their stuff, which makes it 90 times quicker to find, plus links to off the beaten path stuff, that you’d never read. You’re right it is basically facebook status updates, but what’s wrong with that? You can make it gay if you’re Chad Johnson, trying to request people to play him at Call of Duty or whatever, but if you’re Ric Bucher and saying “Hey, here’s a link to my column about AI signing with the Sixers, and oh by the way, here’s the take from the Philly Inquirer, and it’s a good read.” It’s perfect. If you want “analysis” then no, it’s not for you, but as an avenue to cut through bullshit and get good stuff to read, it’s perfect. And there’s no fucking Farmville. That’s nice, too.
I understand that it’s where 99% of things break now-a-days, so I can understand why you and other people use it. I just don’t know how we got to the point where it was socially acceptable for people to break 99% of things on their glorified facebook status’.
