It must have been very important in the history of porg. I have no understanding of the usefulness of twitter. Anyone here uses that? Some prog musicians seem to be addicted to it.

Nope. Never saw the point of its limitations when I do have a Facebook.

I have a friendly black bird that comes to visit our big pine tree in the garden every year - never misses a beat. It arrives every spring and starts tweeting old school jazz until the end of summer, which is why I call it Charlie(after Bird). I often tweet back, and we have ourselves a long discussion about lord knows what, because my bird lingo still is somewhat lacking.
But yes, I tweet.

140 characters to describe your last meal or your new wallpaper or some wacky big political scheme for your followers to think you're on drugs? Not for me, thanks.

If you're talking about Twitter, I have had no exposure to it at all, apart from occasionally hearing about someone famous like Alec Baldwin tweeting something witty and then it shows up in my news feed as if it's real news.

I've signed up, but I've never actually tweeted.  The whole thing seems silly!

I've never understood why people need a separate site dedicated to the facebook status...

I only used Twitter when I got paid for it.

I'm a no T.  I've been tempted but I've held out.  I'm on facebook, here, jazzarchives, instant chat on current, so I see no reason to go there.

The words "Twitter" and "Tweet" sound annoying. There are far too many real-life things to be annoyed about, so I ignore artificial annoyances.

I have a Twitter: http://https://twitter.com/drewagler

Since I started doing podcasts and being freelancey, it seemed like a good idea.

I don't even know what tweeting is. And I don't care. And I don't feel the need to know what that is. I share stuff with my relatives on Facebook ... because some damn muppet told me to.

Geraldine Granger: So, what do you call a budgie that's been run over by a lawnmower?
Alice Tinker: I don't know; what *do* you call a budgie that's been run over by a lawnmower?
Geraldine Granger: Shredded tweet.
Alice Tinker: So the budgie's dead, then?
Geraldine Granger: Yes, I should think so.
[laughing]
Geraldine Granger: It's shredded tweet.
Alice Tinker: Poor little thing. It didn't even see the lawnmower coming. How could it know that death was just round the corner?
Geraldine Granger: Alice, look, I'm not going to tell you these jokes any more if you're going to keep on responding like this. It's not a real budgie, OK? It's not a real lawnmower; it's just a joke.
Alice Tinker: So the budgie's not dead?
Geraldine Granger: No, it never got born.
Alice Tinker: Never got born?
Geraldine Granger: No.
Alice Tinker: Poor little thing. Oh, so much beauty. So much potential; it never got born. Never saw the light of the sun, or felt the gentle rustling of the breeze through its feathers. Never went "tweekle, tweekle, tweekle, give me my Cottle Fizz."
Geraldine Granger: Get out now. Go on, get out!
