May I be so bold as to express a very Twitter-uneducated opinion… It looks like yet another noise/clutter tool for your day… as if there aren’t enough other things in the day to do or disturb us.

I have to be honest Facebook is in that folder for me too…

I still have a love/hate relationship with Twitter. I love reading everyone’s Twitter, but like anything else I am still watching my community before I dive into the deep end.

Follow me @Frozen2Late

(haha)

One thing I REALLY can’t stand is when people connect their Facebook with their Twitter. I know it is the same thing but for some reason it just bothers me.

I love twitter, it affords me a method of communication directness not available anywhere apart from sharing a beer with someone, which is damn hard to do all the time.

I also use twitter to update my Facebook status.

I’ve gleaned so much useful info on twitter and cannot commend that form of micro-macro-blogging enough..

Now, come and add me Julie.

ha ha Freakbook =)

Another name for facebook should be Stalkbook. I dated this guy earlier this year and it got completely out of hand when he messaged me every time I added a bloke to my friends or someone wrote on my wall. I got in the biggest trouble when I added Matt Innman (previously SEOmoz) as I wrote on Jane’s or Rebecca’s wall saying I couldn’t find him, so they wrote back saying he was under bla bla whatever it was. My boyfriend went mental, “who is this guy you are trying so hard to find”. “COME ON dude, chill the fuck out”, obviously I didn’t say that Matt is totally hot (and single) lol…Anyway quickly woke up and smelled the coffe, he was just another freak on Stalkbook

Oh, good. You managed to bring up the Brit-texting. The bad thing is, I knew it was going to be expensive and I did it anyway.

Someone hates Facebook??? What are you, some kind of left-wing radical Commie? OK that’s totally a joke, in case anyone is thinking of sending me any (MORE) hate mail. I love a lefty. Anyway, the group potential that a few people have mentioned is the biggest selling point for me, and since I don’t like more than 4 people, this won’t help me out at all.

OK seriously, Twitter would have been much less expensive than the 500 texts that I sent to all the Brits when we were in Vegas, stupidly thinking that they were included in my “unlimited” text package. So I do definitely see the potential.

However, like Jane, I am going into this with a bias. The only time I’ve been turned around was in a guacamole incident in which I accidentally ingested some and realized that hey, this stuff freaking rules!!!

See how meaningless my Twitteing would be, with inane comments like this?

And I in turn loathe Freakbook and use twitter quite regularly (although not as much as some people).

I (sometimes) get news faster than I would checking my feeds.

However, my favorite thing is at conferences (it beats having to email everyone or send txt even if I had everyone’s phone number). People I would normally not be able to connect with I can b/c of twitter.

Also when people come into town they usually say “I’m in X” and I can reply and possibly meet up for a beer and a little SEO chat. Mostly for the beer.

Since I can use it via mobile much easier than I can use Freakbook, I’m on board with it. And I’ve spent some time in london…I don’t think I’d walk around telling people to ‘twit’ me
