I have a whole different issue with Twitter. Let me tell you my experience after I was unable to login to my account. I get the message "username/password invalid."
I'm still receiving my email "follower notices", but I no longer receive them on my cellphone. I contacted them 33 hrs. ago, and they sent me a "standard" email for things to check in this

I couldn't agree more. I just read an article that Twitter is a flop in Europe.
Speaking for the 50+ crowd (please understand that I really love technology), whatever happened to interacting with people in real time???
We are growing further and further from person-to-person interaction and hunkering down into our cyberworld nests. IMHO, this is not healthy... people are supposed

Does anyone here know exactly HOW to disable auto-follow on Twitter? I opened a new account about a month ago and since then my account has been randomly auto-following people! It's ruining my twitter experience!

"The 140 character restriction just encourages people to post half-baked thoughts - indeed, it's virtually impossible to say anything of substance with that much space."

Then you're following the wrong people.

Again, your article and comments say more about how you don't "get" twitter, and don't know how to use it than it does about the

Ultimately, if I'm just following people who are writing interesting things, or following celebrities, how is this different than blogging, but at a much more inane level.

The 140 character restriction just encourages people to post half-baked thoughts - indeed, it's virtually impossible to say anything of substance with that much space.

really, all your post does here is show how bad you are at using twitter.

Who auto-follows? I've been using Twitter since last year and this is the first I've heard of it, and just hearing about it sounds like a really dumb idea -- for exactly the reasons you state. What's more, it's not even part of twitter -- it's a function of certain twitter clients! So one

Thanks for the link - that guy is definitely angrier about Twitter than I am. I totally agree with his point about CNN quoting Tweets about Iran - ridiculous!

2009-06-21T14:54:04.104-07:00

I also Twitter, especially with the all play it's been getting with regard to Iran. This is definitely the angriest anti-Twitter article I've read yet:

Following someone is deciding you want to read what they have to say, equivalent to giving your email address to someone.

Auto-following someone is making that decision without any screening, equivalent to posting your email address in plain text on a forum.

Why are you surprised that you're seeing spam?

That pointless, banal drivel is exactly what those people want from Twitter. If you're tempted to tell the world every time you eat a bagel, chances are that when your friend posts that they've just eaten a bagel, you're stoked for them. Hooray for bagels!

We're animals evolved from apes. Other apes groom each other as a social habit, but we've replaced that with

Well Twitter seems to be like the drum roll with no actual beat, I too do think that twitter may wear out in an year or so and the reason it has so many followers is because of the hype it has created including but not limited to social celebrities. We tried it for Company Formationbut was bombarded with spam =/

Great post, I could not agree more!
The media obsession with Twitter is partly what is driving this (such as GMA, but these guys/gals on this show are so full of themselves it is disgusting).
IMO, the whole social networking craze is over rated and is for those with too much time on their hands.
I have built my web site on hard works, articles and similar; with the exception of
