Twitter Sucks!
Well here is the story, I signed up for twitter a couple of weeks ago in hopes of seeing what everyone is talking about, with all of those posts on blogs and sites like techcrunch, rev2 and Mashable I was expecting allot more than what I found!
So what did I find? a glorified Facebook status msg. or a very simple blog with some social networking abilities, its cool that you can publish news through your mobile, but lots of other sites have the same functionality to update your profile. In their explanation video on what Twitter is on their homepage, they say its a way to get to know your friends more, but cant I do that on Facebook or Myspace? those sites give me a better idea on what my friends are doing especially on Facebook and the Newsfeeds you get.
On a side note I do realize that Twitter is a strong marketing tool if used properly, it does offer you a good way of getting quick updates about your friends and colleagues, but thats just it, and that certainly doesnt deserve all the fuss that has been going around on social media blogs about it. Sorry guys but I am not a Twitter fan!

Because of all the A-listers posting about Twitter, Twitter has become a place purely for bloggers. There’s nothing more but spam on there now.
