As I have said before, I think Twitter is wonderful. Never before, in the history of human communication, have so many people of such little importance been able to reveal their total idiocy to so many. It used to be just the privilege of celebrity.
Goat, forget this listening business. It will only confuse you. Form your opinions, and then stick to them regardless of facts, reason, or the stupid ideas of other people.
Twitter is like being able to read every toilet wall in the world.—Ricky Gervais
I will say I have Twitter and I rarely comment but when I do, it’s usually a BOOP! on the nose of a doggie I see on there. Then again, sometimes I just have to call out a moron; of course, that person thinks I am a moron for MY comment. No one wins…
I don’t think so. If they all shout and nobody listens, what’s the problem? Twitters are silent anyway. Even more if, like me, you don’t have an account. The ones with accounts, and listening, are the real problem :D
Twitter has a lot of listeners. Pew research (2019) “The median Twitter user posts just two times a month, but the most prolific 10% of Twitter users in terms of tweet volume produce a median of 138 tweets monthly. In fact, this analysis estimates that the top 10% of tweeters are responsible for 80% of the tweets created by all U.S. adults on Twitter.”
I actually did create a Twitter account I’m sad to say. It was back in 2012. I sent one Tweet to Craig Ferguson hoping to get it read on The Late Late Show. At this I failed. Deleted the app and haven’t touched it since. Don’t even remember the login. I wonder if it still exists?
We’ve combined the engineering marvels of integrated circuits, the internet, cellular communication and software engineering to create a hi-tech stonewall that everybody can shout at.

Rat realizes that you can’t say much of substance in 280 characters. A slogan isn’t a solution.

I deleted my Twitter account a month ago (also, Reddit). I am MUCH happier as a result.
