Six worst Twitter updates we found this week
Definitely can’t wait for this Twitter craze to end. Is it me or is Twitter one of the biggest internet clogging pieces of crap ever invented? For every person on Twitter there are ten ‘Internet Marketing Consultants’ promising to show everyone how to make money from Twitter. Others promise to help ‘companies make better connections with their customers’. Whatever.
What does Twitter do? You type in a 140 character thought about whatever you want so all your friends can read it. Hmm, that idea sounds sort of familiar. Oh yeah, Facebook invented it years ago. Except on Facebook you can post a photo, But the biggest problem both of them have is who wants to hear everyone’s unclever comments about their under average lives? Do we need to hear that Jenny is “Looking forward to the weekend”? Is it important to know that Paul is hopped up on his second cup of coffee”? Jenny and Paul need to get a life.
The reason Twitter is a joke is they have taken the most insignificant utility (status update) in Facebook and built their entire site around it. That’s like taking the dressing rooms at Wall-mart and creating a separate store of just dressing rooms….useless by itself. Twitter is a piece of Facebook wannabe crap.
Plus who are all these people I am supposedly following? I didn’t follow them. I don’t want to follow them. I realize there is probably some little setting somewhere but I can’t find it so until I figure it out I have to get all these crazy ‘Tweets’ all day.
My prediction: Twitter will go bye-bye in 18 months (fingers crossed). It may get sold to a larger site and fade into the background of that site or it may disappear altogether. Personally I’m hoping for the latter. Possibly the most satisfying scenario would be if collapsing but still huge Myspace would purchases Twitter. Then we could watch the whole bundle of crap crash and burn together. Also maybe the geniuses at Microsoft (2rd worst company in the world next to Time Warner Cable) could buy Twitter and find a way to make it even more unusable than it already is.
As promised here is our compiled list of the 6 worst ‘Tweets’ this week. Sorry if any of these are yours. Don’t take it personally (or maybe you should):

Ouch. This one goes in the category of TMI. Anytime I see the word epidural, I’m pretty sure it wasn’t meant for me.

People in Columbus getting crazy.
Do u think who you "follow" on Twitter creates an impression of you or your company? a beer company following sesame street?
Thanks genius.
boo-urns. My Wordpress calendar has been all sorts of wonky lately.
This wasn’t worth the calories it took to type it.
