I'm glad you guys brought this up. Generally, I'd say the use for Twitter is entirely different from Facebook/MySpace.
Don't gawk at the idea and usefulness behind it just because its categorized as a 'social network'. It gives me, you, and anyone in-between, a chance to follow and listen to people that you generally respect and want to learn from that you will not have access to on sites like Facebook and that bloated POS MySpace. And you don't have to go through the hassle of blog jumping to do so. 140 characters can be more than enough.
Lately I've found it to be an awesome tool if you're interested in keeping up with the web & technology scene.
That's why I made the post, to see if those of us already on it could start adding each other and make quick gestures of thought in the realm of what we do, videogame art. I could care less to see pictures of your greasy hair and pimply faces, otherwise this would be a Facebook thread.
"Seriously, who cares". No one cares. A thread was made and people are replying because no one cares. Twit :P
Those of us on Twitter, here's a list of people you may (or may not) find interesting:
But seriously, sites are too much trouble to update so people turned to easy to set up blogs. Now those are too much trouble so the world twitters, (as they walk blindly down the street bumping into people, things and traffic). Soon that will be too much strain on our poor thumbs and we'll have to give that up. This too, shall pass. Hopefully someone gets something useful out of it before it gets replaced with the next new thing
oh god. i made an account but I really don't understand the point. at least for me. I have nothing interesting to say, and no one gives a crap about what I'm doing. seems like just another timewaster. but maybe with a group of folks it could be interesting. it's quite boring by yourself and/or with random people
and OH YEAH. the new pc site. totally forgot about that. hurry up you foo's!
it's like facebook status...for folks who really have nothing interesting in their lives to share, but believe someone will read it, and care. really care. you won't even believe what I'm doing right now.
Hey dudes, i just found this totally sweet site, where people talk about video game art, give their opinions on games they've played recently or movies they've seen, and engage in all sorts of interesting discussion!

Ever so slowly.
Losing the ability.
To converse as a society.
I blame texting...

Most email services and technology actually slow down communications..

Now I have to pee.
I am peeing.
Passing gas now.
Ooops.
Bit of an issue with my fart/shit seperator.
Don't you love being included in the second-by-second account of my life?
What the fuck is the point of this type of communication?
Wiping my ass now.
This is exactly what I imagine this to be.
I'm searching for the post that says:
Sorry, the girl at the gym last night was texting the whole time she was running. What have we become?
