I was the biggest twitter hater for the longest time. But I have moved over to the dark side, wayyy more original then Facebook and super fun being able to follow people at will.  Anyone else here on twitter?

If you wanna follow me, my Twitter Name: newsch00ler

Made my backround the famous shot of Henrik switchin' up that box during 9 Knights.  Twitter FTW.

yeah, i am. i like it, it's entertaining and it's cool to get news through it before it hits the mainstream often times. the people who hate on it haven't used it/don't understand it...

Cslagle_ is my name on there

ahahaha same with me. I hated it for so long but it's super fun to just tell the internet everything that you're doing all the time.

i find it useful for sending out messages about available job positions, but if you are just using it to say your coffee burned your tongue then you should probably kill yourself.

I don't care what other people are doing. Especially people I don't know.

Dislike it or not, but don't hold your breath for it to pass. Twitter has shown it can and has changed the world.

You can ignore it all you like, but it's ability to change the process of communication for ever - and created the ability for change that was previously never possible.

Ignore it, but it's going to be around for a while.

Never before has information been accessible like it now is. Seeing Twitter as just a resource for what others are doing is take a huge miss of it's worth.

Ya dig?

Yes I can partially dig. I understand that it can be good for businesses. The store I work at has an account and will have special offers or announce sales on their Twitter account. Those types of things make sense to me. But reading that some "celebrity" just got their hair dyed is something I could care less about.

i love twitter. i find it way better then Facebook sometimes and i also get to follow my favorite skiers and see what they are up to which sounds a little creepy but its cool. also it give you opportunities for sale and just to talk with people who you wouldn't be able to if there was no twitter. i just think the whole idea is interesting..

i agree to an extent. i just find it impossible to convey a complete thought in 160 characters. its hard to change the world when theres a limit to what you can say. i thought it would be a passing fad, but i see more and more of a movement behind it. i have an account, but havent been on in well over a year.

I don't have twitter, but I see the potential it has for businesses. If I owned a business I would have one. But I don't, so I don't. I also just deleted over 500 friends from my facebook. I don't want people knowing what I do. The main reason I don't have twitter.
