I wasn't entirely sure where to post this but I figured this would be the safest bet...

I was just wondering how many people on here use Twitter, whether just to simply follow certain celebrities or who actually use it and post things.

I joined it quite awhile ago just to see what bands I could find on there that actually posted things, but logged in once, got bored, and didn't go on again til recently. After listening to some of the recent interviews from the cast members from Band of Brothers some of them wanted people to add them on Twitter, so I decided to add a few of them and even one of them added me back {I'm now so afraid to say anything incase I embarass myself xp }, which was pretty weird to get an email saying an actor I recognize added me on Twitter. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaeyes.gif)
Anyways, now I check it out every few days just to see the dorky things these actors say on this {some of the things they let people know...}.

Now, I think I've maybe made two posts but they've only been replies to other tweets, no one wants to hear about my life, which is another thing that's weird is that regular people seem to think people want to hear about such boring and mundane activites.

What do you think about the celebrities that are obsessed with it and will post about such personal things?

How many of you wish this fad would just disappear?

Discusssssss.

I've never had a twitter; I think it's ridiculous. However, my mother was obsessed with it for a few months. She would follow everybody she had a remote interest in and never tweet anything about herself. Everyday she would be on it arguing over stupid ###### in retweets, and generally wasting her time when she could've been doing so many other constructive things. Eventually it got so bad that she was spending most of her day in flamewars and ignoring everything else. Since Twitter's a website there really wasn't much we could do in terms of blocking it and preventing her from going... so we kinda just had to wait for her to wake up. It pretty much took until she managed to get a job and had to spend five weeks in training for her to get off it.

So, really? I think it should burn and burn ###### hard. Twitter is a monster that preys on people who are bored and think they have entitlement.
