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. -------------

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. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” - Douglas Adams |

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. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

Thank you. Now all I need is a personal apology from everyone else on this thread! 
Actually, most of the opinions on this thread were expressed by me before I started 'Tweeting' and in many cases I am sure they are all true. There are certainly more Bieber fans on Twitter than Progaholics. I think it can be whatever you want it to be.

This is a bit funny to me. You guys do realize you're just marginalizing yourselves by avoiding the progress of social media, right? Everybody and their grandma has a Facebook account now, and with anything that has such a broad and diverse userbase, it has now become mostly sh*t. At least with Twitter there isn't a stigma to deleting and avoiding the hell out of people who annoy you. And I'm definitely not a Twitter fanatic. I have like 20ish tweets, almost all in legible English. It's really not a bit deal. There are avenues for spilling loads of useless wordw**k all over the Internet, ProgArchives being the least famous of them. For concise thoughts and neat little things, Twitter can be nice. ------------- http://soundcloud.com/drewagler" rel="nofollow - My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want! |

Not avoiding. I've tried out social media. I'm on Facebook. I read Tweets (I don't feel like to writing some). Just realising that I'm not a big fan of it.

I hate social media. But then again I also hate the internet. I never once made a twitter page or even read one. Or, more specifically: I love what the internet can do for me, but I hate what it can allow me to do to myself. I think Mark Twain once said that, verbatim.

Eh if you're satisfied by what you have and do by all means feel no pressure to change with things. But things do always change, and fast now. I'd rather engage in new technologies and trends in a non-vacuous way than grumble on the sidelines.

From a technological standpoint, I see nothing advantageous or intellectually stimulating in people tweeting out the mundanities of their lives, or worse, their inane opinions, or even worse than that, sending out an apology tweet for the inane opinion tweet they were obviously unable to censor because they were f*cking driving at the time. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |
