Considering the incredibly stupid things I've seen come out of Twitter.. (like a man in Canada being tried for a criminal charge for disagreeing with a woman) I only hold on to the damn thing in case the Stream needs to poke Shadow in the pony eyeball.

I use twitter mostly as an announcement tool. If I have something to say to people or to announce that I have a video up or a stream up, it's a very effective and easy tool to quickly communicate to a large group of people.

I don't have a Twitter and don't really want one. It's useful if you are a public figure and want to make announcements to your followers, but I am not.

I also don't feel the need to read everything that's on people's mind. If I had a Twitter, there would be certain people I would follow that come to mind, but the more I think about it, the less I care about it.

I have a twitter account, I joined for an announcement of a contest victor. I then started to follow a few people, and after about a month I got tired of checking it. While at the same time I've never had a desire for a mass social network account.

 
 

One thing I can't stand is companies/TV shows creating desperate hashtags. If I was tasked to come up with these things for a show, I think I would end my life.

Twitter is the most inane, vapid, useless thing I've ever come across. I'm 24, maybe I'm just the weird guy, but I never understood social media. The only reason I have a twitter account is to follow Archengeia, who really only uses it for announcements. The only thing I can even fathom it's usefulness is getting people's attention, to talk on another platform, such as skype, or on the phone. Which is in itself flawed as both have ways of contacting other people that completely undermines twitter's usefulness.

Twitter has its uses when following certain streamers or whatever.

That's about it. Unless you're a drone. Or Borg.
