I know a lot of people still use Facebook, but it seems to me (at least in the circles that I know), that there is less talk about Twitter.

Do you still Tweet?

I don't tweet much, myself, but I do occasionally read others' tweets.

I don't tweet. I'm already addicted to CTN and facebook. I would have to go to internet rehab if I started tweeting. "Hi, my name is Donna and I'm a tweet-o-holic . . . . . . . "

I voted other because "never in a million fucking years would I ever participate in the ridiculous fucking exercise that is tweeting" wasn't an option in the poll.

It can be more than that. Yesterday, I was monitoring Twitter for journalists' "#accopbk" tweets from ACC Operation Basketball. I was reading the quotes from the coaches and players as the journalists were tweeting them. I couldn't watch it on TV, since I was at work, but it was a great way to get the news right away.

I hum, but I dont tweet. I like Tweety Bird. I thought I saw a Putty Kat.

I dont have a Twitter account, and therefore I have never twitted, tweeted, twit, twot, tweet, twat, etc.

I have read some online twitter remarks. Must be something, more for the youngsters. I am too private a person, to tweet and let others know what I am doing or not doing.
My twitter would not be that interesting on most days.

But still, by voting "other" we can't really tell how you REALLY feel about Twitter. :)

I use Twitter as my own personal news feed. I scan the headlines from CNN, NYT, DBR, Chronicle, several other news sources every morning. I don't actually use it to post inanities or read those of friends.

TWAT
That's what many want to say.


FREEDOM! There ain't nothin' else like it. :D

BTW, I don't twat, tweet, twooze, twit or otherwise. Who would follow? Who would care? I wouldn't. CTN is plenty more than I can find time to catch up with. Just look at the date this question first started.

If you say "twat" OY, does it make you a wanker? Isn't there something anatomically wrong with that?
