I totally agree that twitter unfiltered contains a lot of carp. That was the precise purpose of my post, to which you’ve clearly taken annoyance to. Twitter is just one of those many sources that is on the whole big internet that MANY people use to post current event and political information, in headline form, which leads to interesting blogs and alternative information sources. Some are good, some are not. Why NOT utilize it? It certainly isn’t my only source. I don’t really ‘rely’ on it, as you suggest. It’s just one of many internet sources which can be useful. Not sure what you have against it, but I certainly am not forcing you to get an account and use it, any more than I am trying to force you to cut your cable with my tag line.
I thought “#ObamaSongs” was funny. Posts to #EmptyChair made me laugh hysterically at one point. But surely you missed all that. Some on this thread expressed interest in Twitter and I was simply suggesting an available FREE tool which makes Twitter easier to filter out the noise and act as a useful news/information feeder that can fit the user’s interests. If you filter twitter properly, it can be quite useful and timely as a source. I am sorry if that irritates you. Use whatever internet sources you wish. Kay?
I never understood the propensity of some Freepers to harshly criticize those that simply attempt to assist other Freepers. #whatever
What do I have against Twitter? Just that the most empty-headed dingbats in the galaxy post there, and 80% of the comments are mindless babble. Not even decent stream-of-consciousness. Sure, you will find a nugget of wisdom sooner or later. But look at all the bulls*** you have to dig through to find it! A total waste of precious time.
