Do you twitter?

[GotGusto]

Because jerks like Nora O'Donnell of MSNBC (some people think she's hot), Pimm Foxx of Bloomberg and even C-Span's Washington Journal say "you can go to Twitter and make a comment", sounding like out-of-touch idiots. They don't have computer science degrees and yet they are pumping computer use? This "free publicity" for this prick company is what I'm against. I'm not against free publicity at all, I'm against the hypnotism of media organization anchors that all of a sudden promote a *for profit* company that takes in personal information to be used against anyone, if need be.

Does Bloomberg say "Go to CNBC's message board, leave a comment and we will read it on the air"? No. Does C-Span say "Go to NPR's board and we will read your comments there?" No. Does MSNBC say "Go to CNN.com and we will read your comments there?" No. So they are F'n up their own business, promoting Twitter, a competitor. Yep, only F'n twits are ruining this economy and crying it's bad at the same time.

I went with this English speaking chick at a Macau sauna and the wash girls were Vietnamese and couldn't even speak English. She kept calling them "fucking stupid" in front of them while they kept smiling. That's what Nora O'Donnell, C-Span and Pimm Foxx are doing, talking Vietnamese while I call them "fucking stupid".

Gyaos Baltar.

I know the impression is that the promotion is free. Some of it may be now since it's become a viral trend (which was the intent) but it didn't start that way. The people behind Twitter have enormous venture capitalists funding them, and the creators of Twitter were also the creators of Blogger.com which they sold for millions. These guys know what they're doing. There is always heavy money behind ventures like this. Youtube, Facebook, both decent ideas in terms of utility, had tons of financial backing that made them household names overnight. You can't stay afloat while your company is $20million in debt, as Youtube was, before Google bought them out, without having substantial financial tentacles in place. Juts to give you an idea, one individual, a Standford grad who co-founded Paypal, put $400k of his own money into Facebook.

For the time being, Twittering is the new "cool" thing to do among "hip" media personnelle and celebs, so the flock follow. I may use Twitter to follow somebody who has inside knowledge on upcoming business transactions and so forth, but just to be part of the pack and shamelessy mini-blog for no reason except to be out there, is not for me.

I do. I have an Ashton twitter and a personal one. It is quite addictive actually. I try to only update mine once or twice a day but it's fun. It's mini-blogging so it's great for those of us with short attention spans.
Celebrities use it as a marketing tool. They advertise tour dates, special contests etc. Lilly Allen, for example, holds scavenger hunts in whatever city she is in for tickets to her concerts.

I am not a twitter user, but yes it's gaining so much popularity lately.

And as you have stated, twitter is beneficial for those who work in entertainment business.

Now, they have even created a website called: tweetvolume, that allows you to search key words and phrases (i.e. – a website’s name, URL, author name, etc.) to see how many tweets have mentioned your search terms.

www.tweetvolume.com

The more people mention your name, your website or your business, the more popular you are.

As for today, April 20 2009, i got hit 247 times, not bad indeed..
