I'm bored with Twitter - GoFuckYourself.com

czarina · 11-02-2009, 12:09 PM

I've had a twitter account for the last few months and I've updated it pretty regularly and gotten quite a good amount of followers. But I've gotten bored with it. The interaction is limited and you either get a bunch of teens goofing around or people trying to promote their businesses.
Anyone else feels the same way about twitter?

I have to take a poop.

Eh... being bored with twitter is like being bored with your newsletter. It's a tool to get more traffic/sales, not something to have fun with.

been bored with social networks for years..

i believe Twitter can become interesting when you get into 20K+ followers

and tbh without any ultimate business / spam justification.. these networks are sheer vanity

have one profile nearing 5 figures.. plan to weave in mainstream 'green' product spam

if folk made more effort 'constructing' their tweets, twitter would be greaty enhanced imo

the character limit as a challenge not a hinderance.. unless you possess no intellect whatsoever

Twitter sucks and is pointless after a couple weeks

Unless it's for making money with, Twitter is uber ghey !!!

Milk all the social networks while they're in fashion, for all they're worth

VicD · 11-02-2009, 12:59 PM

I say it with less words: fuck twitter

The only thing I use twitter for is to visit this page:
http://twitter.com/breakingnews

But since I'm not registered, technically I'm not following them

HowlingWulf · 11-02-2009, 01:10 PM

Hooked it up to update automatically from a few blogs and forgot about it.

czarina · 11-02-2009, 01:21 PM

I haven't gotten much business from it; but that was not my ultimate goal. I was hoping to network with other designers, share ideas, etc., but so far nil ch.

Megan Essog · 11-02-2009, 02:18 PM

I have the same feelings... spam or children!

I'm going to keep up with it but it seems like there are more bots following me than anything!
