:oops: Sorry, couldn't resist.
 
I tend to agree with Casinomeister's comment on Twitter having some useful purposes but like him, I haven't quite figured out what they are yet. A lot of the sites I've looked at do have useless dribble and I don't understand the point of filling them up with useless links. The Twitter sites that interest me are the ones that have some interesting personal commentary on them and with that said there are other things that are just boring, who cares that you just visited the grocery store?
I think the recent popularity of sites such as Twitter, facebook, etc., there lies a danger in that we might be replacing real human contact to fill holes within ourselves out of loneliness or boredom. With all the technology that is available to us in recent years we are presented with instant gratification that may satisfy in the short term but is it satisfying in the long term and does it feed the needs that all of us have that can only be met in real life relationships? Are we keeping ourselves too busy with technology?


This may sound slightly OT but have you heard about the growing problem of kids (teens) sexting, (sending provocative or semi nude or nude pictures) of themselves to other teens? There have been several instances of teens being labeled by their peers in a very bad light and some teens have had to face the possibility of being charged with the very serous crime of child porn. IMO this is another area of technology that is and can be used very dangerously without the proper thought behind it. I ask myself do all these kids really need a cell phone with text messaging enabled? Do these kids really need a cell phone?
 
Ok fine! I went from Rival crusader to Twitter crusader in a single bound.

Now listen to this and you will see why twitter is all it is cracked up to be:

1. Suze Orman talked to me personally twice on twitter. This woman changed my life, so it was amazing to have her address me.

2. I have talked to my cousin more since she joined twitter a few days ago than in the last 6 months.

3. I posted a quote from Zig Ziglar and 5 minutes later his son followed me and we have been talking every since.

4. I met someone who works for the gov't of Canada and lobbied him via twitter about gambling regulation.

5. Arriana Huffington, Rachlel Maddow and a few more saw my comic strip because of twitter...


SHALL I GO ON? DO YOU GET IT?:eek:

TDTAT no offense but since the beginning of this thread you behave like an unstable person, please come down, nobody is attacking you, just relax.
Max, concerning your problem there's a simple solution.
TweetDeck (see video) allows you to create groups with the people you follow.
At some point of your Twitter experience, you have to create groups because to be followed, you need to follow people, and at some point, it's just not possible to follow 3 or 4 thousands people especially when some of them post a twitt every minute.
So what you need to do is create one group with your real friends or familly, another one for SEO news for example, another one for design, another one for casino news for players, another one for casino news for affiliates, etc...and the general group where you have all your followers.
It is the only way to manage successfully your Twitter experience.
This way you don't need to unfollow anyone, you just leave uninteresting people in the general folder.

Ah, that makes a lot of sense! Great post!

No thanks buddy, "well behaved women rarely make history" and are incredibly boring as are most people who pretend to be stable.

"You are just jealous because the voices only talk to me"

Offense taken by the way. Lucky for me "I always forgive my friends and enemies as nothing annoys them so much"
:eek:

This may be an interesting subject to some people - not particularly to me, but it's kind of interesting to hear the various viewpoints.

However, this thread is now turning into a slanging match - and it's going to be closed it if continues. It is especially irritating to me to see it keep popping to the top of the list, only to find a bunch of useless posts.

Thanks in advance.
 
Come to think of it why is this thread here in the first place? Relevant to 'Online Casinos' this is not.
 
"slanging match" ----> no clue what that is but sounds fun, sign me up


I suggest the opinion that matters is Mr. Meister's.

I am making a wild guess that He did not move this topic out of online casinos for a reason (unless he just didn't have time or notice).

Why in the world would you want discussion about something the world is buzzing about? Get a clue.

In any case, I will not sling anything or slang anything in this topic again.
I will try not to read responses. :lolup:
 
It's back open, everyone be mellow.

Please stay on topic with the twitter thing - it's an interesting phenomena and deserves a non-webmaster thread.

Personally, I'm with Spear....I don't get what the big fuss is about. I don't use MySpace, Facebook or any of those other social networking sites, and I don't plan on signing up to Twitter anytime soon either.

If I want to talk to someone, there's MSN chat, PM's, emails, phone calls....and lest we forget face to face interaction.

To each his own, but I'll pass.

Your choice, but you're looking at it from a social networking point of view. From a marketing viewpoint, twitter is like gold.

But, if you have no need for the marketing end of it, then you're 100% correct...it's literally useless. :thumbsup:

Exactly, that's the main reason I'm using it. Since I started posting there regular about a month ago I am getting a hell of a lot of visitors to my blogsite from Twitter. Heck, Sunday alone I had 135 page views from Twitter...:D

So far I have logged 12 successful conversions from that one day..;)
