See, this is the very thing that makes Twitterers look like fanatics. If you are having a baby, going to the bathroom or any other bodily function, please continue to do those activities and stay the hell off Twitter until they are done. Am I wrong on this?

Designer Sara Williams went into labour late last night and is updating friends - and hundreds of thousands of strangers - live online. "Dear Twitter, My water broke."

I need to setup twitter so I can twit about me taking a crap. I can take some very impressive craps. Sometimes, the bowl can be completely full of crap.
 
"Dear Twitter, dialation, contractions, breath in, push... Maybe the buttsechs ain't so bad after all?"
 
So, I'm not the only one who reports their medical emergencies on twitter (but I do send a text message to my family and friends when my blood glucose levels are out of control and usually they come and help out)
 
One minute into actual birth - "Dear Twitter,screw natural childbirth,just give me the damn drugs!!!!!!!!"
 
Man, talk about a hate fest.

Yeah Twitter can suck, but it does have some really good uses as well.

Remember the Iranian revolts that happened just a bit ago?
Great for news conferences.
Some companies use it for customer service, and it works great for answering a simple question quickly.

HEY

I'm narcissistic and I can't stand twitter.

if I ever procreate however, let it be known that the gf/wife with have a desktop set up so she can raid while it's coming out.
 
Um, how busy do you think someone going into labour is until they're bearing down? That could be a good 12+ hours with nothing to do but count the minutes between your contractions. And feel pain during.

With no internet. And only movies from the VHS age to watch. At $10 a day.

Damn right, I'd Twitter! In fact, if I was on Twitter, a single tweet could have saved me hours a month ago when my wife gave birth:
  • E-mailing all my co-workers and stakeholders that I would be out-of-office
  • Getting the inlaws to come meet us at the hospital
  • Arranging babysitting for the previous rugrat
  • Calling eveyone back who left this VM: "Oh my God! I haven't heard from you in the last couple of hours--is it happening?"

A second tweet would have saved me hours of calling everyone back again and doing Facebook updates. "Where are the pictures?" *sigh*
 
Dear Twitter

"I decided to have a C-section so I will be extra tight for my billionaire husband who invented twitterbox"
 
get a life people i dont see why people have to post there whole life for others to read, il rather see the tweet pigeons that they had on hear a few weeks ago flying every where and make it so they shit on the people who ues them:)
 
I don't see all the hate towards Twitter. Sure, it's kind of pointless, and I find it stupid because I don't see the need to share every detail of my life with the world (from taking a shit to killing a man), but I think all the hate is ridiculous. I think you're all just jealous you didn't come up with the idea first. =P
 
Hang on, lemme twit about how much I hate twitters and twitting, especially this twit that twitted while having what could potentially become yet another twitter.

Oh, wait, I don't twit. Nevermind... :D
 
Yeah tweeting is shitty. I'd way rather jump on a forum and post a bunch of stuff, or update my blog, or update my facebook status, or text message my friends. Twitter is just a medium; if you don't like it don't join in. It's not going to hurt you just by existing.
 
I use the laptop and talk on the phone even when I'm on the toilet. How does that make you feel?

Yeah, I don't understand why [H]'ers feel the need to repeatedly say something sucks ad nauseum.:eek:
 
Twitter, for when you think the Internet community actually fucking cares what you think you self absorbed piece of shit.

But then again, I'm anti-social networking because the name social networking itself is a goddamn buzzword that makes me want to punch midgets.

Like snarky, everytime I hear it I wanna push Perez Hilton's face into a frying pan of acid and wash it
off with rock salt and bleach.

I don't think you're so much anti-social-networking as much as just plain old anti-social. ;)

Also, as I've pointed out before, not every use of a twitter feed is a product of narcissism. One could make the argument that Twitter wasn't created to feed peoples' self love, but instead to feed everyone's desire to know exactly what is going on all the time.
 
I probably am anti-social. I'm probably more nostalgic than that though honestly.

I'm tired of the "everything is the next big thing" asshole movement in the media. It drives me batshit to turn on the network news and feel like everything is a hip pepsi commercial when it comes to news reporting.

Just stop, stop with the bullshit, stop with the over dramatized pile of crap reporting. I think the whole "blogosphere" phenom is pretty well responsible for that though.

Youve been quoted multiple times in my aim profile. How does that make you feel?
 
Lol, nerds on a social site bitching about other nerds on a social site. High and fucking mighty.

Remember folks, the things we hate most in others are the things we hate the most in ourselves.
