Twitter....

[Peoplesoft bloke]

The funky kidz in another department obsessively use Myspace and Twitter during the day.

Their senior boss was off today, and hadn't phoned in sick, so they checked his Myspace profile which said "Got Piggy Flu - see ya in a few weeks dudes".

As far as they are concerned, if you don't use Twitter, Myspace, Facebook, Bebo and the like constantly, then you are "Billy No Mates" and not worth talking to IRL.

Weird old world....

A bloke I was at skool with thinks that - he writes about it all the time in his blog (although his blog doesn't allow comments) - he is the one who told me off for joining the "I want to Punch June Sarpong" group when he "evangelised" me into joining Facebook. He is 47 and I find it all a bit sad, frankly, but also a bit sinister as he also dismisses anyone in similar fashion.

I used to work with someome like that. She's lovely but when she emails me with a bit of gossip it's all OMG, LOL and L8R (and that shorthand language - like u r txtin). I should add she's very bright and articulate in person. Change required.

Reminds me of Role Models. Watched it last night and the lead character hates text type speak as well.

Winds me up too.

It would be a lot more interesting if one could post comments on peoples', er, twits.

Or do you have to utter a twit yourself and point their twit to yours or v.v? It all sounds terribly complicated.

I thought I'd log on to my account to see if there is anything and got:

Twitter is over capacity.
Too many tweets! Please wait a moment and try again.

I get loads of 'em, they are just spammers and get blocked straight away.

In fact, I going to have a good old swear about them right now.

I just clicked on follow

Missus Tingles has signed on to it but hasn't actually Twitted(?) anything...

I read somewhere that that is the basic profile of the vast majority of the millions of people that have signed up for it, including me. I twittered, "Anyone there?" in September 2008 and that was it for me. Still got three people following me though.

It's bizarre that twitter thing... I don't get it either.

Me neither. I thought it was twatting

She's being followed by the Dalai Lama, Alan Carr & Jerry Seinfled....

She hasn't followed them - why would they follow her?

I don't understand?
