Why do you use Twitter?

Hybrid Trainer June 2nd, 2011 11:22 AM

I'll join! I'm @HybridTrainer

I mostly use twitter because its known for having a single person post a lot rather than facebook which people moan about if you post more than once each day ¬.¬

Skip Class June 2nd, 2011 11:29 AM

Why did I not see this earlier, Definitely joining? I absolutely love twitter!

☆ TheSmartOne [@MissSmartsies]

I use twitter because... I don't know tbh. It's fun when I hook it up to my phone because I have unlimited texting and then can just tweet about whatever is happening. I can vent or flip out or be super excited and nobody minds unless I'm spamming up timelines something awful. ^^; I can keep in touch with all my online friends easier since I'm out and about most of the time. It's just fabulous~

I only use Facebook for real life friends really close forum friends. Twitter is usually for my online friends and randoms XD

And it's nice being able to do this:

☆ Charizard★ [@NocturneAlley]

Why do you use Twitter?

It lets me keep in touch with my PC friends, because I don't have them on Facebook. Plus, it updates me on everything I follow. (Stores, teams, artists, etc.)

Meganium June 2nd, 2011 2:45 PM

Oooo a twitter fanclub! I love twitter so much. Awesome! I am sooo joining. :)

☆Meganium90 [@Misdreavus9]

Why do you use Twitter?
I use twitter to keep in touch with online forums, not just on PC but other sites as well. It's also a place where I want to get things out of my mind, and where my mind speaks for itself. xD

Buoysel June 2nd, 2011 3:08 PM

@Sonerand

I'm so joining this club. I use twitter to say anything that is on my mind and to assist the ferret world take over.

Meganium90 is the one who got me to join, and now I'm in love with twitter, its so fun, I like to put random funny stuff, or photos of things I see.

Alternative June 2nd, 2011 4:34 PM

I updated everyone. :D

Anyway, I think one reason why I like to use Twitter is because it's something where I can rant, or do anything and tell people what I'm doing without spamming Facebook, in which I would probably be flamed into oblivion if I mentioned anything which I would usually mention on Twitter. It also means I can follow people and see what they're doing, and their obsessions with World of Warcraft or something. :P

What do you tweet about?

Hybrid Trainer June 2nd, 2011 4:43 PM

I tweet about anything really xD
Most of it is random gibberish but some times it can be small rants about random crap that bugs me. I'd also like to twitpic stuff but my damned limited data plan would probably crash and die if i tried uploading a picture through my 3G xD damn you orange!

☆BlooMilk C. [@Milkdroid]

Why do you use Twitter?
I use Twitter because I have nothing better to do with my life other than rant on Twitter about things I'm doing, emotions, things I think are funny, and random song lyrics. Seriosuly, sometimes I have nothing to tweet about because I have no life. I also talk to people from PC, and I get to stalk Gerard Way, Frank Iero, Mikey Way, and Ray Toro. These are some reasons why I love it :)

aRedMoon June 2nd, 2011 5:47 PM

I am... @aredmoon (gasp)

I love twitter. It's such a great resource for just random stuff. I love getting links from people, and just stalking random fun people.

It's also a ~great~ way to talk to people when I don't have my computer. They can just @reply me and I can get right back to 'em :)

Meganium June 2nd, 2011 6:09 PM

What do you tweet about?

I tweet about the following: what's on my mind, the weather, Pokemon, school, what I'm watching, what I'm reading, what I'm actually doing, umm...pretty much EVERYTHING. lol

Zeffy June 2nd, 2011 6:22 PM

@ZeffyDood

I use Twitter because I want to. And its a place I can pour out my opinions and whine about everything I don't like. Something like a public diary, I suppose.

Alternative June 2nd, 2011 7:11 PM

Yeah Twitter's great. I mainly use Twitter for tweeting with other people, PC friends, gaming news, Pokemon, Glee, and other things as well if you like all that stuff. I kinda mentioned it in my profile description thing all the things I will generally tweet about.

My life, anything I find funny, or random thoughts.

So I updated the list with all the new people to the club, so welcome all you new twitterers (is that even a word?), and just for fun, I thought I'd follow everyone who is a part of this group, so I'll probably reply to y'all a lot now. :D

Maraala June 4th, 2011 10:28 PM

Hey, I'll join. I'm @Sammyskitty

Why do you use Twitter?
It allows the spammage and the stalkerage that Facebook doesn't have and I like that. Not to mention that I also hate Facebook.

What do you tweet about?
Basically everything that is going on in my mind.

YungKnowledge June 4th, 2011 10:51 PM

I'll join @Knowledge931

Why I use twitter?
I use it to keep up with tech news and gaming news. I keep in touch with two of my older cousins with it also.

What do you tweet?
Just the most random things I think about.

Cherrim June 5th, 2011 6:20 PM

Alright, gotta join this. I'm @Cherrim on twitter. :D

Why do you use Twitter?
Twitter is essentially my Facebook. I'm almost always on it (it's the main reason I wanted a smartphone with 3G :x) and it's filled with both online and offline (IRL) friends. It's quick and easy to keep up with everyone and if I need to contact someone, I know in my groups that it's much faster to @ them than it is to email or catch on MSN. I've been using it actively since 2007 so I'm pretty hooked.

What do you tweet about?
I... tend to tweet about whatever I'm doing. I can get kind of annoying if I'm obsessed with something and have no one else to talk to about it. xD; Mostly my tweets are fandom-related, with a bit of RL "what i'm up to" sprinkled in. So expect a lot of fangirling if you add me. u_u;

Hikamaru June 5th, 2011 6:42 PM

Can I join? My Twitter username: @Hikari10Girl

Why do you use Twitter?
I use Twitter cos it's fun and many TV shows use it.

What do you tweet about?
I often tweet about politics, sport and comedy. I love satirical comedy.

Do you use any special Twitter applications?

Cherrim June 5th, 2011 7:00 PM

Do not underestimate eggplant Cherubi. :D

Do you use any special Twitter applications?
I use MetroTwit on my computer. Been using it for a few weeks now and I love it. On my phone, I use TweetDeck and I like it even more, but it doesn't work the same way on the computer as it does on my phone, so oh well.

aRedMoon June 5th, 2011 7:44 PM

Do you use any special Twitter applications?
I have in the past, but never like them all that much. I stick with the good ole #NewTwitter

:)

Zeffy June 5th, 2011 8:12 PM

i don't think I've ever used any twitter applications. besides, how hard is it to type "twitter.com" and log in when your surfing the internet anyways? not that hard imo.

Meganium June 5th, 2011 8:24 PM

Do you use any special Twitter applications?

When I had my Android phone I used TweetCaster. It was the best Android twitter app out there and I always recommend this app to my friends. On the computer, however, I used to like TweetDeck, but the whole "twitter API" thing made it less fun. So I stuck with the web instead until I find a more decent application.

Alternative June 5th, 2011 8:45 PM

Zeffy, the whole point of the apps is that you don't have to do that, and it makes life so much easier. Most of the time with apps also you only log in once and never have to log in again, which is always helpful. :)

Anyway, right now I'm using Echofon for Firefox. It's a great application and plug-in if you ask me. It's quick, easy and I can shorten links easily, which I learntonly a couple of days ago which I can do. Now that's always handy, especially when I'm trying to shorten huge links which I want to share with everyone. :D

Hybrid Trainer June 6th, 2011 12:51 AM

Do you use any special Twitter applications?

I use the twitter app on my android phone for anything special like seeing what tweet got a reply thingy too. But mostly for viewing them on my phone i use Motoblur because its synced with my facebook feed and for actually tweeting i use the Motblur status update widget because it does both my facebook and twitter at the same time.

But on my computer i just have twitter bookmarked xD

I made it basically so I can follow my favourite Youtubers and have an avenue to communicate with people I only know over the internet, (I can keep Facebook for my real life friends). :D

Alternative June 13th, 2011 6:48 AM

Brb, following you Massimo. :]
Yeah, Twitter is great! I mainly use it for anyone who uses it, since none of my irl friends use it except for like, 3 of them lol. It's good to keep in contact with internet friends who have no relevance to you whatsoever, from forums or anything. :3

Have you ever been tweeted to by some kind of celebrity?

I remember once being tweeted to, or about by Notch, one of the main people behind Minecraft, which I thought was really cool. I didn't even know about it before then. I was also tweeted to once b Bajo, a presenter on a game review show I like to watch.

Cherrim June 15th, 2011 1:11 PM

Not really. :[ I've been tweeted to by some Youtubers I follow or webmasters of sites I visit but they aren't even big names. xD; And had a conversation with @SEGA like two years ago about smilies. Not sure if any of those count though. :P

I use Tweetdeck for iPod and for chrome. I love it for chrome because I have it so it opens when i start up chrome and it whenever somebody i follow tweets it pops up in the corner of my screen right when they do it.

Nope. Not at all. ;-;

Alternative June 17th, 2011 10:59 PM

Gonna liven this up quickle. :)

Do you prefer Twitter over other social networking programs?

I do prefer Twitter over the other programs. There's just something about it which just makes it so much easier to access than Facebook and the like. It's also a lot better to use Twitter just to do stuff with moreso internet friends, and not worry about anyone that I know irl knowing things which I tend to reveal online, because they all hate it or something.

Skip Class June 17th, 2011 11:35 PM

Do you prefer Twitter over other social networking programs?


To be honest I'm quite equal between Facebook and Twitter. I like twitter to keep up with people I like following and Facebook is good especially in terms of school friends and uploading my photos. Apart from Facebook I do like twitter compared to other networking sites like myspace and tumblr (Tumblr is ok but I prefer twitter)

Meganium June 17th, 2011 11:45 PM

Do you prefer Twitter over other social networking programs?

Since Twitter became popular. I've been using Facebook less and less, but I haven't stood away from it though. Yes, I do prefer Twitter over other social media. I prefer simplicity over complex.

Cherrim June 18th, 2011 9:48 AM

Most of my online friends are on twitter and most of my offline friends are on twitter. The people I have on Facebook, I'm not all that close with. I can only think of one really good (offline) friend who won't get a twitter and only uses Facebook. :/ So I have no reason to use any other social networking sites. (To be honest, FB actually confuses the hell out of me. It's only recently, when I started using Tweetdeck on my phone to check FB, that it was simplified enough for me to bother with it. :P)

Alternative June 18th, 2011 10:04 PM

I don't find Facebook all that confusing, but Twitter does have the element of simplicity to it which is always nice. I only really use facebook nowadays to just see what offline friends are up to, which is either spamming those stupid games on there or complaining about something. "/

AMC Theatres, Borders (I've talked with them multiple times), Peach Tree Publishers, Kohl's (who I work for!!)

Heidi Kling is really cool too. Author (:

It only lets me go back to October, so I can't find anymore :( I think I've been tweeted by Michelle Branch at one point... and both Greyson Chance and Justin Bieber follow me.

Oh, and Hipira-kun said he'd suck my blood :-D

I've talked to T-Mobile about their service in my area...

Also, I was unaware that T-Mobile, Borders, and Discovery News all follow me. O_O

It depends. Sometimes I really get off on keeping up with Twitter, other times I'm like "Whatever~". Sometimes it's just TOO much. Right now, I'm keeping mostly up with Facebook and Tumblr, and ignoring Twitter.

Okay I finally got un-lazy and followed everyone in the club. xD;

I'm at a loss though. :< Metrotwit, the client I use, added support for streaming tweets, so I get them instantly as people submit them, but I'm following so many people that it usually means every 5-10 seconds I get notification of more tweets. xD; I always thought having them instantly would be awesome, since on other clients I always set them to check as often as possible but I think I might have to turn streaming off, haha. It's so distracting.

aRedMoon June 20th, 2011 3:50 PM

This is why you only follow people that you are actually interested in. :P

Alternative June 20th, 2011 4:47 PM

I started with following lots of celebrities, namely the stars of Glee, and then I stopped because i didn't like doing that for some reason lol. I want to follow more people who have the same kinds of interests as me and/or is a game developer or something along those lines. :D

Meganium June 20th, 2011 5:53 PM

I only follow the people I know online or IRL. I keep celebrities out of my "Following" list and decided to make a custom list on Twitter instead. I find that easier that way.

Alternative June 20th, 2011 5:59 PM

I follow people I'm interested in and whatnot, but always get that occasional tweet to me with a link about nothing. I just don't click them. I'm afraid I'll contract a virus or something. :P

Cherrim June 20th, 2011 7:02 PM

I follow several companies (mostly video game related, lots of stores, some news, but all things I'm interested in), a few celebrities (mostly internet celebs, some actors [like those from glee], and then my friends, both online and offline. :[ A lot of them are acquaintances, but I still manage to talk to them once a week or so, so I would feel bad removing them. u_u;

Xyrin June 20th, 2011 7:06 PM

I have instant streaming on Tweetdeck. It pops up in the corner of my screen. The only times I don't read every tweet is when I get off the computer for a few hours at a time. To lazy to go back when it's over 20 tweets back.

Cherrim June 20th, 2011 7:10 PM

Haha, only 20?

...orz, I wake up to about 100-200 every morning if I sleep 6ish hours. .__.; When I used echofon I used to have problems because it only went back 199 tweets from the last time it checked. :s

But I do use my phone so I can scroll past them very, very quickly, only stopping to actually read a handful of them. XD;

Xyrin June 20th, 2011 7:29 PM

Well actually I don't look farther than 20. Because in Tweetdeck it shows you the latest tweets in the corner and it only shows up to 19. So yeah

Cherrim June 20th, 2011 7:32 PM

Really? I use Tweetdeck on my phone and it's always pretty good about getting every tweet. I think it skipped some when I turned wifi off on my phone and didn't use it for two days recently but it still showed me several hundred. :P The desktop/Chrome app and the mobile app are pretty different though. Maybe that's why?

Alternative June 20th, 2011 7:33 PM

I only read like, the first 5 or so when I come online after a sleep. Then I look at mentions and stuff, and after that I'm like "meh". :P

Cherrim June 20th, 2011 7:39 PM

I have a few friends abroad right now (or always) and I don't like to miss out on their tweets so I try to at least skim most of the stuff I miss.

But yeah, sometimes I just can't be bothered and I'll check mentions and be done with it. XD;

Xyrin June 20th, 2011 8:58 PM

I'm talking about Chrome. In chrome it pops the tweet in the corner. And when you open it up it pops up the ones you missed but only shows you the last 19 that you missed in the corner. I can scroll down, just too lazy.

I read everyone's tweets. I only respond to the ones I find interesting. :P

I'm currently using Silver Bird on Chrome. It's a pretty useful app, but I still find myself using the website just to tweet because I'm so used to it. >_>

Alternative June 21st, 2011 7:18 AM

One of my friends' reads everyone's tweets. Since he only checks a couple of times a day, he has to go through like, 12 hours of tweets or something all the time. He told me he got mad during E3 because I tweeted a lot about it. Myself, along with another person he stalks follows were tweeting about it a lot, so he had to go through like, three refresh things (doesn't use a twitter client) on Twitter for it. xD;

Needless to say, I am damn proud of those tweets! stayed up until 3am tweeting then

Chikara June 21st, 2011 8:13 AM

I think... I think I'll join a club and this is the one!

My twitter is @exwires :D... I tweet when I can, but it's mostly just when I remember to do so.

I was working during every single E3 day, and I have a few of my friends tweets sent to my phone. It got annoying cause I had 10-15 tweets to read whenever I had a chance to check, but it was also good cause I didn't really miss anything.

Maple Leaf June 21st, 2011 11:45 AM

I try to check everyone's tweets, but that doesn't always go too well. I'm a procrastinator.

Since I only follow 19 people, it's not too hard! xD

Cherrim June 21st, 2011 12:02 PM

I don't think I've ever used the txt feature of Twitter. It was too expensive back when I didn't have a texting plan and it turned out it was easier to just use the crappy mobile web browser on my phone. For a while I think I had direct messages send me a text as a quick way for online friends to get hold of me.

My main reason for getting a smartphone last year when I upgraded was so I could have a dedicated Twitter app. n_n

Same here. But actually, I don't have any friends outside of the internet that have Twitter, so it's only people from PC.

The text feature is good, because it lets you chose who you actually care about, and you're sure to get those tweets. :-D

I also use the @reply feature to let people contact me instantly if needed.

I never had the txt feature either. Back when I could access it from my phone though I didn't know anything about Echofon, and thought it was annoying that I could log in from my phone, and that would instantly log me out from the computer, so I stopped using it. My phone sucks for the internet anyway, I'd prefer to get some sort of smartphone to use Twitter on. :)

Cherrim June 22nd, 2011 5:50 PM

I know here, at least, there are a lot of pseudo-smartphones that only social networking too, if you don't wanna splash on a full smartphone + data plan. :3

Meganium June 22nd, 2011 5:54 PM

I've been using the txt feature for a long time now. To be honest, it's quick and useful. Twitpic also had a txt feature...you can snap a pic and MMS it via email. I find this easier than having to buy a data plan just to use twitter. xD

Cherrim June 22nd, 2011 5:59 PM

I did that too. :D Though now I use yfrog since for a while my new phone wouldn't upload to twitpic and then twitpic came out with new copyright info that said they assumed rights of any photo you upload so I sort of fell out of love with them. 8( I think they changed it after an uproar but oh well.

Chikara June 23rd, 2011 4:16 PM

I can only text... Normally.

My phone doesnt have internet so I kind of have to. Also the site lags my computer SO BAD. i miss the old layout :(

aRedMoon June 23rd, 2011 5:40 PM

I do wish that there was a way to do pagination, instead of the continuous load :\

Chikara June 23rd, 2011 7:11 PM

Yeah, I think they should think about NOT sacrificing page productivity for attractiveness :/

Hikamaru July 16th, 2011 12:07 AM

I follow lots of celebs on Twitter but I have not had a celebrity send a Tweet to me.

Never used any applications yet.

ナギ July 24th, 2011 6:24 AM

i'll join! can't say i'm extremely active on twitter, i just get on whenever i like and tweet whatever i like.
meaning you'll mostly get a lot of tweets that don't make a lot of sense if you're not living inside my head.
and random retweets of things i agree with or i just think are funny. XD;

ahwell.
@hiinotama i am. such an original username. o_o

also, i tend to use my iPod a lot for tweeting.. so i has Echofon on that. it's simple and does exactly what i want it to do, so that's enough for me. XD;
see you on my timeline ~

Nihilego July 24th, 2011 6:38 AM

I'll join! I'm @iaintgotachance.

I actually had a different twitter an age ago but it died because I wasn't really using it to follow people I liked. I'm gonna be much more active this time round though, since many people on PC use twitter.

Patatas Fritas July 24th, 2011 6:54 AM

I meant to join this decades ago -- I'll join. @MeepingItUp

Don't ask about the name :x

Oooh I've been tweeted by a couple of celebrities, one of them is my favourite singer of all time, Kim Petras, when she replied to one of my tweets I was just like *Eeeek <3*

Alternative July 24th, 2011 6:56 AM

Wow this place got active really fast. <3

Also Kawaii, you know you can change your Twitter username easily, right?

I'll update this right now. :D

Of course, but I cant think of anything better and I like it so I'm keeping it.

Huh.. Twitter, it's like Stalking For Dummies.

Charizard★ July 24th, 2011 7:06 AM

Just another username update, back to CharryStar again :)

ナギ July 24th, 2011 8:10 AM

justnow followed all of you. so you got a new stalker. XD;
if you spam my timeline with stuff i don't enjoy reading, i will unfollow tho. :3

i'm also amazed at how much y'all change your usernames o_o....

Meganium July 24th, 2011 8:13 AM

Username change as well...if I haven't updated. I'm @TwilightSpark1 :3

I noticed a large increase of followers in the past week. xD

Actually, I think that's just Charizard that does that. I've only ever changed my name like, twice, maybe? I'm keeping this one though, because I really do like it. :D

So how about this:
How many times have you changed your name, if any?

Patatas Fritas July 24th, 2011 8:51 AM

How many times have you changed your name, if any?
Hum... Let's see, I was Amy391, then PoshVenusUK and now MeepingItUp

That's three two times if my maths isn't flawed.

Meganium July 24th, 2011 8:53 AM

How many times have you changed your name, if any?

I went by the following names:

Anistorm (2/09 - 3/10), Meganium90 (3/10 - 3/11), Misdreavus9 (3/11 - 6/11), and now TwilightSpark1 (6/11 - present).

ナギ July 24th, 2011 9:10 AM

NAMECHANGES?
yeah, well, that's the thing.
i didn't change my name once yet. XD;
but yeah. if the first.. say, three names i come up with for an account are taken already, i've to say i'm way more likely to want to change my name afterwards too.

but so far no-one's tried to take the name 'hiinotama' yet. except on youtoob :/

Nihilego July 24th, 2011 9:12 AM

How many times have you changed your name, if any?

Not at all yet, other than switching from my old account (@lilbitofbanter) which I disabled to have a new start. I can't really think of anything else I'd want right now anyway.

Oh, but your maths is flawed. You've changed your name twice, not three times. /shot

aRedMoon July 24th, 2011 9:08 PM

I've changed my username once. I started as @scipio1357 but then switched to @aredmoon... much more ~me~, ya know?

I recently got a smart phone, and the first thing I did was get the Twitter App. It's <3~~~

Skip Class July 24th, 2011 9:26 PM

WOOT ACTIVITY!
Time to follow! But I think I'm following most of you already xD

How many times have you changed your name, if any?

None, I originally had 2 different accounts @zcyler and @zappyspiker. Can't exactly remember the reason why I had to but I decided to use my @zcyler one and just ditch the other one

TornZero July 24th, 2011 10:24 PM

May I join? :D My Twitter username is TornZero.

Why do you use Twitter?

It's easy to use; it's short, sweet and to the point; it has a nice, polished interface; the "short" part of "short, sweet and to the point" makes Twitter better for those who just want to get updated on things, unlike other social sites that are generally spammed with unnecessary information and "copy this into your profile if you ___".
While Twitter does suffer from people putting ads and sponsors in every now and then, it's always been great to me for nice, short conversations between me and people I follow/that follow me, and getting the updates I want and need.


On name changes, I've never had to change my username from TornZero (funny, eh? A name with "Zero" in it without and "X" at each end or in-between words; I really haven't seen many of those). I do have an alternate/backup on some sites under Xerorin, however, for sites that require you to make a different display name from usernames, and for sites where I don't want people constantly stalking me on TornZero.
