Twitter ?

When I was reviewing the AMD Phenom II X6 1090T BE

<ot> In which edition will this review surface? </ot>

June issue - which is currently at printers, Should be at the binding stage which takes about a week to do. In other words you will have to wait 14 days in you are a subscriber. the review of the 1055T has just been sent to Nicholas and will be in the July issue of PCF.

the culture of ego should be discouraged with a pointy stick... what few gems the service may produce, (having avoided subjecting myself to the inanities of TWITter i cannot claim this to be so), are buried 'neath a veritable colossus of verbal guano...

anyone who imagines their life to be 'xTREME' enough to warrant a running commentary needs to pull their head out of their cloaca...

tl;dr - twits twitter.. goml...

It's rather surprising that someone like yourself misses the point of Twitter completely

Seriously though, Rusty, you're completely, completely missing it. I haven't read a "I just ate a ham sammich" post in months.

Has nobody noticed this thread?

anyway i love twitter. but i don't have time to tweet much. so i linked my google reader to twitter account and all things i share on reader goes to twitter.

[rustypup]

you're completely, completely missing it.

i believe i may actually be "getting it"... when i'm subjected to twitter feeds on cnn/bbc i "get it" so much i want to violence someone... violently... with a blunt instrument...

to put that into context, i can barely manage to process the badger sputum i'm subjected to at work... i'd probably end up being committed if i were to voluntarily expose myself to a never ending deluge of it...

(not forgetting the horrific grammar employed in squeezing 248 chars worth of data into 144... it's like having some socially inadequate automaton randomly blurting out half-garbled snippets of nonsense at inappropriate moments... )

nothing is that worth knowing... :/

I disagree puppy. I have fond memories of being on the beach and reading breaking news.
Besides - anyone that follows me is asking for drivel.

@KB I shall try that. Give the impression of a more interesting life.

Nope, because otherwise, Myself, Dae, Tribs and a bunch of others would have posted in it. (In truth, I was waiting to see if anyone else recalled it )

I had to laugh, given the distinct lack of grammar in your post.

I linked my Flickr to my photography blog and that posts to Twitter. That way, I can let my followers know I have uploaded pictures or posted something.

[Tribble]

I am so glad they delete bots on Twitter - well the ones they can find that is.

[Prime]

So those of you who were completely Twitter nuts a few months back, are you still so?

I think I've been on twice this month. :/

[Tribble]

I don't post many tweets of my own (I lead a very boring life) - but I will respond to people who I follow. I love that I get EWN and NASA and a whole lot of other interesting things. So yes - though I don't always tweet - I am still nuts about it.

[DAE_JA_VOO]

Yep, I'm still there. In fact, I'm more active on twitter now than I was before. I'm also significantly more active on twitter than I am on facebook. Not that they can really be compared, but in terms of social networks, I spend way more time on twitter than I do on facebook.

Twitter has become an incredibly valuable part of my internet experience. That real-time news aspect is just irreplaceable.

[Prime]

interesting. hmmm.


I just find I end up wading through garbage on my Twitter account. doesn't it annoy you when News services flood you with tweets? or even people?

[KatrynKat]

i have a twitter account but haven't checked in such a looong time.....

[DAE_JA_VOO]

Well, no. The people/source I follow are sources I've chosen myself, so if I do happen to get more tweets from them than usual, at least it's about stuff I care about.

I don't follow any accounts that do millions of tweets a day though.

[Tribble]

Neither do I. And those people who retweet everything - I just ignore unless the tweet is interesting. But I love the comments on the news as it happens. Steven Grotes tweets a lot but it is interesting. My photography friends can get a bit emo though - but I suppose that is who they are. You just skip the tweet.

[hobojvr]

It think Facebook is just about as much "social networking" as I can handle, and it took me a while to get onto Facebook

[ryanrich]

Same as DAE...
