Why Twitter is Useless

You know after looking at this piece of crap of a website, I could not understand what the hell everyone uses Twitter for.  Now when I mean everyone, I mean everyone who thinks they have the power of a celebrity.  And by celebrities, I mean people who are actually famous not poser bands and musicians who do nothing but cover songs for their "independent labels".

Honestly the only thing I found Twitter useful for was making the equivalent of Facebook status updates over and over again.  Although the importance of Facebook can vary from person to person (depending on their network skills or they just use it to fool around), at least Facebook has different networking abilities that Twitter doesn't.  To me this website seems like a watered down version of MySpace, Facebook, or any other forum based website.

I can say that I saw a couple of really hilarious Twitter pages, like the mock Stevie Wonder one, but other than that, the only reason regular jackoffs should get an account is to either:

1. Be a complete jackass.
2. Stalk celebrities.
3. Talk about how "interesting"* their lives are.

*Scene kids have no soul.

I do have to say though Twitter does have a pretty well organized and simple webpage for each account.  Now granted that you have to understand how to use the site, I wouldn't really want to sign up for an account no matter how watered down and user friendly it is.  But uh...for the record...I did try only to have this happen.




Twitter: Fill out the following general information.
Twitter: hardcopy is taken.  Please choose any of the following usernames that correspond to yours but is available.
Twitter: Now please pick a few pages you would like to follow or are relevant to your interests to get started.

Then I fell asleep. 

Next thing I know my shitty landline connection got disconnected again.

And then I just gave up.

Ok so maybe that story wasn't the best example of my experiences on Twitter.  In fact I go on Twitter to follow some celebrities or the cast of Questionable Content (it warms my heart to see how Yelling Bird can make such gruesome calls on everyday life and on children in the violent and sexual way that he does).  MikeTheMiz has some pretty cool updates as well. 

But for a normal person to have a Twitter account seems ridiculous.  Although I would never attempt to make another one, the only reason I might is just to subscribe to some cool ass pages.  But I also can do that in this Blogger account. 

In conclusion if you really do like networking, I would just stick with the Facebook account.  And please don't just update your Facebook statuses through Twitter.  It's annoying and raises the question of why you even have a Facebook account in the first place.

Scene kids also have no soul.
