“Deja Vu allover again...................”

Exactly. Reminds me of the Dot Com Bubble bursting in 2000. Except, President DJT is keeping the economy from crashing with his Kick Butt economic policies. Wait ‘til the new GDP numbers come out.

I think we may be seeing the end of Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook) and Jack Dorsey (Twitter) as CEO’s. And it could end a lot faster than people think.

Good but I still find it very useful for Breaking News. If only there was a competitor.

Remember the cb craze of the early ‘80s? Everyone had cb radios in their cars and trucks and talked about Smokies. It was a fad that ran its course, and people dropped it. That’s what social media seems to be. A lot of money will be lost on this collapsing fad, however.

Twitter Stock Tanks as User Numbers Tumble

Here's why:

Maybe people are suddenly realizing that you can’t say anything of real importance in 144 characters. I have always seen it as more as a service to massage the egos of self important people; “I am going shopping at Whole Foods”, “I am buying Charmin to wipe with”. Who really cares?

Users/stakeholders react to fb and twitter manipulating information.

No, check that out some time ago. A BIG FAIL as they allow pornography and all. We don't want completely open--just don't want someone playing favorites. That's the problem with facebook, twitter, and youtube. They fail to recognize that people want fair play, not bias.

Besides, a site based out of Anguilla is a loser for US users!!! Stupid to use .ai

That reminds me of Wisconsin governor Walker as that literally is his Twitter history!

I actually get much of my news from curated Twitter feeds that I follow.

(1) You need to educate yourself on Twitter for you know not of what you speak.

(2) First of all, the limit never was 144 characters. It was 140 characters and has been raised to 280 characters since.

(3) Secondly, links to more substantial articles easily fit within those 280 characters.

(4) Lastly, you can thread your tweets like I did here, allowing followers to pull up the entire thread at once.

BEAUTIFUL NEWS!!

Die Twitter!

[bigbob]

Jack will join Zuck in the poorhouse, lol.

[ConservativeMind]

Twitter is like GeoCities or MySpace...

[SMGFan]

Wasn’t that in the mid to late 70’s

[Reno89519]

That cartoon really sums it up well. Conservatives not welcome. The problem is that once they go down that path they have to split hairs about what is further allowed or not, alienating even more people. It is a losing approach. They should focus on delivering a even-handed, respectful platform, the town square. Applies rules to all parties evenly and recognize that not everyone is in favor of their Democratic, liberal, progressive, socialist fascism. It IS OKAY to think Christianity is okay, Islam is evil, homosexuality is a perversion, gender and race identity are wrong or abused, capitalism is good, etc.

I really don’t recall seeing CB radio’s much past the very early 80s.

[Vaquero]

I’m thinking at first glance. Cows Twittering each other by stock tanks?

[Red Badger]

[Maskot]

Yeah. Young mush brains never even THINK of picking up a phone, having a face to face, nor do they realize putting every little thought out into the world is just plain stupid. Twitter people are the sort of folks who think sex with robots is the next bestest thing, EVAH!
