I'm going to write a story about a brilliant and twisted psychiatrist who perfects a method of implanting suggestions in victims through specially coded electronic communications. Basically, he discovers a method to control people by typing special phrases and opens a Twitter account and spends years building an army of hypnotized drones who don't know they're hypnotized and then at the end someone finds out what he's doing and tries to stop him but it's too late and he activates his Twitter army and takes over the world blue chicken pasta rowboat.

Why don't you write a story called, The End of Literacy (in 140 characters)

Win.

It's things like this that give cat people bad names. I'm no stranger to cats, and my mother is a certifiable cat lady. Why Twitter? Write a damn coffee table book and actually profit off the rabid nature of catnip dazed retards who live out their parental fantasies with a feline.

I like cats. We have 2 and the caturday thread is always entertaining. But half a million people following a cat on twitter, are you farking kidding me? I almost want to quit the Internet.

So the antennas on their heads wasn't just to make them look more science-fictiony?

Oh, and I hate people. Seriously. What is the real point? Live your life like this? I envy the people who live in "poverty" and have to subsistence farm. Sure, times are tough... but they don't know there is any leisure like this so they are blissfully ignorant of not having a life where everything is done for them and shiat like this can exist. Double-edged sword I guess.

I'd rather talk to a lot of cats I can think of than 90% of the idiots running around Twittering all day long.

 
TheJoe03 [TotalFark] 2009-05-16 10:18:34 PM  
I don't get the point of twitter. It's just like a site devoted to the facebook status, how pointless is that! Damn trend followers.

I know it's "en vogue" to hate on the Twitter and all its Twits, but it's not that bad.

But what's the point of the site? How is it entertaining at all? I'm not hating on it, I just don't understand why it got so big.

Here's the thing, I don't get it either.

I am a journalist, and it's a way to interact with the people who watch my show. I can interact with them and tell them the stories we are working on. It's also a way for viewers to send us tips. And it's a great way to drive viewers to our website.

So, I guess it's a marketing thing.

Anyway, something tells me if Fishing Cat had a Twitter feed, it'd be way more popular:

This is why I have you on my favorite list. In fact, you're the only person I have on that list so far. So few people can ever top your posts, and those that can don't do it regularly enough.

Regarding TFA: I hate twitter. I do not need to hear about the bowel movements of Ashton Kutcher, or the day-to-day activities of a spoiled housecat. That is all.

I hate twitter, but I had to check this one out -- it's some cute writing, but I could never waste time on it beyond the short reading I just did.
