What is the point of Twitter?

[dot.haukes]

Why is everyone using each others email addresses? Who can understand how to communicate with more than 3 words? It's dull, except I've managed to put pics of Garth Brooks all around the edge of my profile screen.

[ummmm]

I quite like it. Like I said, I follow people like Jamie Oliver and he posts new receipes and stuff.

Dot,twitter,is owned by google,and they pay big name celebretys to promote it,

[MissNoway.]

I thought you'd love it MissNoway. It's made for stalkers!

[dot.haukes]

I wonder if garth is on twitter, if he is and I follow him and he sees my pics of him he might PM me and then we might get chatting on there and he may decide to come over here and do a concert tour or even just a big stadium eh?

[ummmm]

Yes you can Noway....but the cookbook doesn't answer you back. Which Jamie does on Twitter.

You're not getting it again are you?

[Jan1957]

Too thick ummmm.

[ummmm]

I know....It's a struggle.

[crisgal]

do you have to pay each time you receive a message?

[ummmm]

On twitter? No.

It's a bit like facebook with it's status updates.

[MissNoway.]
