All ok to follow without too much spamming

[NickFitz]

I find loads of useful links through Twitter - here's one from earlier today. If you follow interesting people, you'll get interesting stuff. If you choose instead to follow a bunch of vapid imbeciles chuntering on about their lunch, then obviously you won't derive much benefit from it.

I suspect you won't be able to, as I fear there IS no point to it.

Thank you!

Another way for the masses to regurgitate pointless musings that no one is interested in. Just as bad as facebook.

I always got the impression it was like Facebook on Speed.

Indeed, it can be likened to facebook reduced down to just status updates. But you don't have to ask permission to be friends!

The point: The distribution of information in packets of no more than 140 characters.

What that information is depends on the users

I don't understand Twitter. What's the point of it?

Twitter is very high on doodab's list of things that need to be stopped before they get out of hand.

I somehow missed you post!
Thanks,
Re: Kevin Smith, although someone I admire looks like a bit of a twitter spammer, I might unfollow him just so I can read the rest

@VizTopTips and @MrAlexanderPope are on good form these days

Thanks for those! VizTopsTips has kept me chuckling for 3 days now
That alone makes Twitter worthwhile

The top gear team (Jez and Hammond at least) are funny enough to follow. Lots of in-jokes from the show

You can block farmville (and mafia wars et al) in your news feed. Click the x that appears when you hover over the story and you get the option to hide all stories from that app. Sorted. Till the next craze anyway.

Nice, one! Just done that and all my pony news has now gone.

I set up a Twitter account for my Plan B but lost interest after 3 posts.

I love Caitlin Moran,

Her Sherlock Holmes article was hilarious and a bit too near the mark...

I've got a twitter account but haven't got the app on my iphone.

And as for losing business's money - it's only moving it from the 5 minute fag breaks that seem to have disappeared.

Just as bad as Facebook, have been using it recently as some relatives over the water were posting piccies but what a load of sh1t. Every time i login is just endless rows of "Suzy found a little brown cow wandering on her farm" etc etc etc, what the hell is this farmville thing about as it appears everyone except me spends every waking hour on it. Its like invasion of the body snatchers.
