Twitter. So who tweets?

Its great if you are a celebrity or public figure, then you have interesting things to tweet about. Well, then suddenly we care about what Kim kardasian had for lunch or how she washed her dog. As for plain old boring me, I don't think that anyone would care what I do.

Im with Sockmky on this one. I dont wanna hear how cute your cat is when it paws at you scrotum while you shag. For companies or things like MyGaming or Penny Arcade or Game Studio's its gr8. For public use its kinda lame.
 
Ah well .. you get some interesting stuffs sometimes. Work gets boring, and I use it to follow some newsfeeds of sites I'm interested in.

Well what do you want it to do? Make you coffee? :confused:

The point of it is for people to provide information to the masses quickly. Especially useful for bands and artists, as well as other important people.

I, for one, have found it very handy in the past.
 
I went through the classic phases - signed up, messed around for a bit, got bored, lost interest, and then suddenly came back and now I'm a regular user.

I follow about 60-odd people - and what is nice is that they tweet bits of news - you know, kinda relevant to the topics I post about in my blog. Gives me something to write about - on one hand, or gives me something to tweet out to my followers. Some of them tweet out some more personal day to day stuff in between as well - but I think it gives their feed a bit of personality.

Also a pretty handy tool to promote blog-posts.
 
Seeing as though I regularly use my Failbook account I don't see a point to join Twitter as well. I suppose it would be interesting in some ways but it seems a little self-indulgent to let people know what I'm doing every other hour. Something about it that makes me feel uncomfortable I guess.
 
Facebook: for people who give a s--t what you had for lunch.
Twitter: for posting relevant and useful links.

A lot of people on twitter think there's some quota of BS they have to fill, but I just unfollow them and follow people who regularly post interesting links and not random spam.

LOL as soon as people start tweeting their life story I unfollow them (on twitter) just check the people I'm following, now those people are interesting ;-)

For example that article about the cod7 dev liking "Lego CoD?" I saw the the morning before

I use tweedeck and it has an awesome feature to block tweets according to a blacklist of words ,this one dev had started playing "godfinger" and the damn thing updated his twitter every time he got something, so I just blocked #godfinger :D

Miss bucket, You should use Twitter to broadcast links to your blogs (EDIT: Like Shadowfox pointed out). Or let people know of cool gaming articles / reviews / releases / specials you came across.

Twitter feed != Facebrick emo updates.

The most prized follows I have on twitter are:

"The shit my dad says" (which is very funny)
and
"TED talks" - TED ftmfw! Ingenious inventions and discoveries on display. The TED conference is actually on this month.

Also, our gaming clan site has a twitter account, so each time a new thread is created it's listed on Twitter.
