Twitter
I just went to twitter to see what the BFD is about... my god, how is that site so popular?
It's filled with useless updates from people who think their lives are so interesting that everyone should know that they are "getting a cup of coffee!!!!"

Twitter is a top 50 website right now and climbing fast. Some peeps used to say the same things about Facebook being useless...

twitter shitter:
One who tweets, or posts to Twitter, while shitting. This was originally used in webcomic Penny Arcade on April 23, 2008.
Man, while I was taking a dump today, I was twittering from my phone, I must be a twitter shitter.
From the Urban Dictionary
Does twitter allow pictures along with tweets?

"According the study, which was conducted by doctoral candidate Aryn Karpinski of Ohio State University and her co-author Adam Duberstein of Ohio Dominican University, frequent Facebook users typically spend less time studying and receive lower GPA scores than students who do not use the service at all."

I do not like how Facebook has become so much more like Twitter. I would like to go back to how Facebook was a year ago."My heart shall cry out for Moab..." Isaiah 15:5

I think the usefulness is a measure of how you use it.
I like facebook for keeping up with my immediate family.
I do not have hundreds of random friends on it, just the family.
It keeps us in touch much better than phone or email did.
Of course I don't post on it 10 times a day and neither does anyone else
in the family.
I couldn't see the value in SMS until I got an iPhone so go figure.Please buy my book - "Paiute ATV Trail Guide" at www.atvutah.com - I need gas money!!!!

It's all about automation. Have the RSS feed from your site automatically update twitter, in turn it updates facebook automatically.
I've got several accounts on each, for different purposes, but I'm not all giddy about it either. I just use it because it's the only way to contact certain people without calling them.

I finally understand the necessity of twitter..... How else can you automatically send status updates to millions of people every time a methane detector in your office chair records a fart?

This singlehandedly affirms the necessity of "Twitter"

The Facebook/Twitter allure is completely lost on me; it seems to be not much more than the latest, most popular way to waste incredible amounts of time and be really unproductive. I'm good enough at both of those things as it is, unfortunately . I do get that it would be a good way to keep in touch w/family, but I have no interest in having people I used to know 20 years ago finding me and knowing what I'm doing (or not, as the case may be ).

Oh yeah and at a glance I can see pretty much what my entire family is doing, where they are and what they are feeling. My aunt (who I quote in my sig) uploaded her new artwork. My cousin is documenting his trip through Spain right now and I'm hooked reading his entries. It also lets me know that my other aunt's birthday was today. So I know to call her and say it.
But then again, I spend incredible amounts of time arguing politics on the internet. So my time wasted threshold is way less than yours. hehe.Your safety is not my responsibility.

I didn't keep in touch with anyone from h.s. after I graduated, and even the good intentions that some of us had to try and stay in touch after the reunion fell by the wayside. My life, esp. at the moment, isn't that interesting to *me*, so I don't want to showcase my boring life on Facebook . And, many of the things I do find interesting to discuss (books I've read, some political stuff, geology, anything pertaining to the Colorado Plateau, baking/cooking) none of my friends do. So, I go to forums like this one where I can read (and discuss) things with like-minded people.

Over the past several years, my online interests and involvement have waxed and waned. I was really involved with it socially 15 years ago during the peak of Usenet...back in the day when I had a UNIX shell account, Pine as my mail reader and the WWW was in its infancy. Now, most of the time I spend online is either entertainment or to learn something. Social networking/communications is a distant third. Hell, my friends think something is wrong with me because I don't even want to spend that much time on the phone anymore, but the job I have now gives me plenty of human contact.
Bogley is the only forum I now read regularly and occasionally post to, 'cos it has the highest % of interesting/funny peeps of any of the forums I do read. Everything else is blogs or other forums I breeze through on occasion and of course, lots of Googling to learn new stuff .
Teh internets: an amazing way to spend and waste lots of time!
