Twitter - Anyone use it?
« on: June 13, 2015, 09:12:37 pm »
Does anyone here use Twitter? I made an account a few years ago that I haven't used since, but thought it could be cool to finally give it a shot. I also thought it could be cool for anyone that uses it to post their username here as we all have a common interest!

Here's mine - https://twitter.com/RetroOlly

I set up one years ago to follow the tweets of some of the TSN hockey analysts here in Canada for the NHL trade deadline so I could get instant notifications on trades but just ended up taking the day off and watching sportscenter anyway.

Have no real use for it and haven't used it since.

I only use it as a new/update feed.  Posted a couple times, but I don't really have friends or anything for that, since that is what Facebook is for.

I use it all the time.  It can easily run away from you once you get to following so many people that you can't read everything.

It's a great way to keep up with the latest updates with patches, new game announcements, and game deals (these sort of things can be very time sensitive).

I know a few VGC folks use Twitter, and we all use it differently, I think.

I mostly use it to keep up with gaming news (I don't visit any particular gaming site regularly) as it's a good way to get quick headlines and such.  In regard to what I tweet, I use it for giving notice about any livestreaming I might be doing/planning and will retweet gaming news/deals that I like.  I'll also post a silly pic here and there for friends.

I use it.  It's mostly immature humor, MMA, video game stuff, and youtube. I hit up a few youtubers on there since I almost made it into that community at one time.  The rest of it is just silly stuff.

@jasonoverturf is the one I use the most. 
@turf1218 is strictly for youtube and video game stuff.

I never had much interest in Twitter so I haven't bothered to create an account there yet. My brother made one about 2-3 years ago, but he hasn't gone to the site in a long time.

I used to had one but to be quite honest never had a chance to use it and since it was only keeping dust I deleted it, not a big fan of post or letting now others what am doing or where I am located, I don't even own a cellphone cause doesn't like being call, have to take care of a lot of phones calls at the office that the last thing that I want to be is being called at my free time  ;)

I don't want to be horny anymore, I just want to be happy

never had one. never had a myspace. never had a facebook. if i have any interest in keeping up with a friends daily life then i will call them up and have a conversation. although the creepy thing is back about 4 or 5 years ago a facebook account got posted that had my picture and started friending all my family and friends. i had to call up facebook to find out that they will not delete accounts but they did lock it so whoever was using it could no longer use it.

Nope. I don't understand at all why people would use it over Facebook. It is very limiting on what you can post.

I don't use any social media. Forums like this one are the extent of my social media.

I use Twitter a lot, I think it makes a great newsfeed.  Used to follow 500+ accounts, but cut way back to around 150.

I apologize in advance for the high percentage of Mariners tweets, but it is baseball season right now.
