I have a Twitter account, but I don't use it. I find myself far more interesting than a mere 140 characters (though, some people may disagree with that).
So, I've never really gotten into it. I prefer forums as my medium.
But you know what they say, restrictions breed creativity!
But you're right. Twitter is really for quick thoughts, soundbites, or jokes, and it can feel pretty limiting. I know a lot of people who rarely post things themselves but follow others and check twitter pretty frequently.
And now we know where "Dsell" comes from!
Yep.
When I first found Isotropic, I tried to use "diesel" but it was already taken. I think you know a thing or two about that.
I use Facebook as my social networking outlet. I update it a little too frequently, however, which makes me think I'd like Twitter more.
Twitter has become my social network of choice. I still use facebook all the time, but mostly for chat and groups. I used to give twitter a hard time, but there aren't any distant relatives to comment on all of my stuff on there... It's also easier to create a personal brand that's 100% sarcastic, which a lot of people just would not get on facebook.
So I have Whatsapp groups with my family and closest friends and that's about it.
I never got the appeal of Twitter. "I'm going to the toilet now!" "OK! Have fun!"
Whatsapp sounds nice. Controlling the flow of personal info would be much easier. And people who use twitter for things like that....ugh. Just don't follow them. XD
