For any of you on twitter, why do you use it?

I started to just follow friends and stuff, but have transitioned to using it as my main news source, and finding new and interesting content online. Here is a quick overview of 6 ways to use it that you may find on interest.

I think it's cool to see what other people are up to, and get behind the scenes stuff.

yea the funnier you are, the more likely people will follow you. I'm a big fan of Colbert, and like the arrival of Steve Carell. I think GSElevator takes the cake though. Shit's too good not to be true.

Twitter is a horrible trend. I remember like a year ago when it started up nobody except celebs were using it, and now well now we got a bunch of teens using it and posting random shit i dont give a single fuck about.

Yea that's why I put up that post, to show that various ways you can use instead of just pointless/superficial reasons. It's so much easier to stay up-to-date with things.

i use it for useless statuses that aren't facebok worthy.

flirting with girls

following music artists and sports figures because they update their twitter a little more than their facebooks

its obviously not that bad to get "direct" link to whatever celeb you like. idk, moviestars, musicians, artists of all types, athletes.

but not everybody, not nearly everybody (big problem in the internet nowadays in general) has the talent and dedication to create worthwhile content.

everybody thinks he is a blogger/artist/photographer/videographer/editor or whatever because they have a fucking internet connection.
