I still hate Twitter, and it's 2011 by the way. Who cares what you had for dinner or what you're eating for lunch, next!

I have plenty of conversations on Twitter. I think it's very valuable for
that.
What's your Twitter name?

Find someone people locally with similar interests as you. Then hop in the
conversation or start your own.
If you're trying to sell something or you are being pushy, you'll get
ignored.

Think of it as a cocktail party.

Conversations? What conversatations? In my experience people cannot be bothered to answer other people's twitter messages to them. They're too busy telling everyone about how they're on the 'bus, or what they had for dinner. I'm sick of commenting on someone's twitter only to be ignored and realise they probably didn't bother to read my comment in the first place. I hate twitter.

I truly do NOT care for twitter. I could understand how it'd be beneficial for some businesses to have to make more money, but I just think it's ridiculous for anything else. Whatever happened to the good old days of actually talking to people face-to-face and forming friendships that way? It seems like everything has to be on the internet which, well, would be considered indirect socializing.

I've got a couple of presentations on this site about using Twitter.
Click my SPEAKING section to check them out.

There is much value in Twitter.

Cheers

I don't know if I buy this whole Twitter phenomenon. But I'm glad you are getting some value out of it. I think I'm going to see how long I can hold out before using twitter. In the meantime I'm holding on to my hate towards it.

Hi Dave,

You're doing great. I think your negative posts has made them a better company. I salute you for that.

I've got more than 6000 tweets to my name and I've shed more than 200 followers through various maintenance routines used by Twitter HQ. Those kinds of things are part of growing up in a web 2.0 world. In that world, I've always seen Twitter as a "social comms play" not a "communications utility" because when you have a utility, you have pipes that work all the time. And if there's a clogged drain, there's a team fixing the problem and sometimes digging up a place to lay another pipe.

Twitter appeals most to people who have never sat next to a green screen on USENET. Twitter provides the greatest invigorating punch to people who have never joined a discussion board. If you haven't bonded to a group powered by a LISTSERV, then Twitter must seem to be the bee's knees. In all those other places, reliability and accountability have been paramount. I don't feel the same community concern on the part of Twitter's developers or funding partners.

Hey, it is open source. If there isn't anything now, someone will make it. Right?

I just left a video comment, but something crapped out in the middle of it, so it didn't embed.

Luckily you can still view it here: http://seesmic.com/video/jp...

Come to Identi.ca! The community there reminds me of the early days at Twitter, and I can even put my own version on my own server so I'm in control of my own darn uptime. They're still working out kinks, but I'm extremely impressed. An open source service also won't ban you (and if a bug gets in that does - someone can fix it!). Best part: Iv'e seen Identi.ca's own Evan respond to multiple blog posts mentioning the service in under an hour. That's responsiveness.

Awww sweet - thanks Dave. Can you tell I was pressed for time after fumbling around with the laptop connection for awhile? I didn't know I could talk that fast without taking a breath! :) Maffin did a great job of running two laptops and helping me out.

Oh, wow. Scary craziness, that's for sure. Twitter's a hub of my network, too--after all this, I'm really making sure I have backup contact info for the great people I've met there.

I'm still not thinking of leaving Twitter, though--just because I'm hoping for all I'm worth that everything will be fixed and work fine...someday...

I'm so reading into this that the 'team' still thinks they are operating out of someone's basement. They've not gotten that fact that they could be a billion dollar company if they'd act like one.

Thanks Michelle. Great job at PAB by the way, I listened to the session during my first workout in ages today. I hate working out, but you helped me forget I was at the gym. Thanks. :-)
