Wh...That comment looks rather testy in retrospect. What I mean is: a) I find that kind of update rather difficult to parse; b) also a bit frustrating, it implies more than it actually communicates. It's a perfectly valid use of Twitter, but my tastes in updates are as particular as my tastes in Flickr photographs or people's blog posts, for example. Some stuff I like, some stuff I don't.<br><br>Hmm... interesting. I realise I'm still not really sure what point I'm making here. One thing's certain: I still find Twitter endlessly fascinating, both as form and content.Hghttp://hydragenic.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1750120863647373520.post-68222265069725560402009-01-14T22:29:00.000+00:002009-01-14T22:29:00.000+00:00The celebs don't really bother me, but then I ...The celebs don't really bother me, but then I only follow one and that might not last. The pseudo-RSS feed thing does annoy me, but thankfully most of the people I follow who were trying it out have now desisted.<br><br>My Twitter bugbear is the ultra-compressed "social" updates that some people like to do, which are utterly incomprehensible to me. You know the ones: "Riffing on #vadnets in CRMA with @fauxhican, @skinnyjeans & @meejaboy. Drinks @ Cock & Twat later? http://is.gd/aRsE"<br><br>I've unfollowed a couple of people who I actually like in real life because this kind of stuff does absolutely nothing for me. I'm not saying they're "wrong", just that I want something different from what they're offering.Hghttp://hydragenic.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1750120863647373520.post-24883552560863509202009-01-14T15:00:00.000+00:002009-01-14T15:00:00.000+00:00I signed up to Twitter in Feb 2007 and never reall...I signed up to Twitter in Feb 2007 and never really used it, but lately I've got back on board and yes I have signed up to Jonathan Ross, Stepehen Fry, and Robert Llewellyn.<br><br>At the moment they are releasing quite personal tweets but these 'celebs' are few and far between with the majority just using the service to promote gigs etc.<br><br>We'll see how long it all lasts.Ademhttp://www.ademweb.co.uk/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1750120863647373520.post-88058990242379384922009-01-14T10:30:00.000+00:002009-01-14T10:30:00.000+00:00I don't like the sucking-up-to-celebs aspect e...I don't like the sucking-up-to-celebs aspect either. It feels false and creepy. But then again, it doesn't massively impact on my particular experience of Twitter. The only thing that really makes the red mist descend: people who the service as a duplicate RSS feed.

I'm so unclear on the etiquette. Like you with the people you follow on Twitter, my Facebook friends are people I am actually friends with in real life, with a few bloggers thrown into the mix. Receiving requests to be friends with people I've not seen (or thought about) since leaving school is just weird. I'm choosing to ignore them for now, but that feels impolite, and like I can't do it forever. But do I really want someone I once went on a youth club camp with almost 20 years ago to know that at lunchtime today, I ripped my tights, and was less than thrilled about it?Cathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11858850210791504996noreply@blogger.com
