That's just it though, there is no appeal. Twitter was a complete failure up until earlier this year when every newspaper, magazine, and TV show started promoting it like crazy and talking about it being the new big thing.

Facebook, don't get me started on that.
Twitter seems to take the cake though.

Although I don't use Twitter, I can definitely see its merits. Like any tool, it can be used constructively or not. I guess for many people it's just another way feed their narcissistic / voyeuristic tendencies. But that doesn't mean it's stupid.
What I don't understand is why people always hate on the next new thing. Everything will eventually change, and we live in a technologically driven society - it's only natural that there will be all kinds of novel gadgets and gizmos being introduced that affect us in little ways.
Plus, if you don't like something, there's always the advice that no one likes to follow: ignore it.

I'm the only person I know without a mobile phone, it's a great feeling... once I leave the house nobody can contact me.

Sampsa Jasli is the only one in this thread who knows what he's talking about. Twitter will change the world.
It is not about what's for breakfast. If you still think the appeal of Twitter is to broadcast the minutae of your life, then of course you'll think it's dumb.
If somebody only talks about breakfast, then you unfollow them and you follow someone else who's talking about something interesting or useful.
Everybody is constantly dropping the people with nothing to say, and following innovators and up-and-comers. Everybody is always expanding and refining the network of people they follow, collecting the attention of people with all sorts of skills and insights, and dumping people with nothing to contribute.
It's like a giant bubble sort for finding the best and freshest minds in any field, on any topic. A search engine where actual human beings -- not just algorithms -- answer your questions and send resources to you.
If your network is big enough, you can have doctors answering your health questions, music fans discovering your music, expert mechanics telling you how not to get ripped off, David Lynch reading your essays, deal-hunters sending you the best prices, anything. You can find out in real time where the action is in your city, or make connects in a place you're traveling to. Making contact with people is easy.
Twitter is providing a real-time mechanism that accelerates the natural selection of ideas in any realm: business, science, culture, art. This is a side effect nobody predicted, and it's a very big deal.
In five years all of you will be doing this in some form. Most people are still at the "Fuck twitter I'm sick of hearing that word" phase, but that's fine. No need for everyone to jump on the bandwagon at once. Mark my words though, it will change communication forever. Dig up this post in five years.

twitter was the first social connection / communication website that i actually heard from the media before friends and peers. thought that was odd.
whiskey you make a valid argument. yet the fundamentals of your opinion are false for twitter is not used to exchange insight and opinion, dropping those who dont contribute and following those with innovative ideals. rather it is a social hierarchy established by the media and hollywood, as well as narcissistic indulgence.
but twitter does have the potential to change the world in the way you described, yet it will be unsuccessful until the public stops carrying that some celebrity went yacht shopping that day. and every individual stops sharing the fact that they ate a good slice of pizza.

I didn't see much use for Twitter until this uprising in Iran started happening. For these protesters, it's their only lifeline to the outside world. In a situation that's been shamefully under-reported in MSM, Twitter has seen its finest hour by giving a voice to those Iran whose other means of communication are being shut down.

I started using Twitter recently, about two weeks ago, and actually kind of prefer it to Facebook or Myspace.
The only thing I've used either for is keeping in touch with people who I don't normally see or talk to on the phone on a daily basis. And when I'm on the road, hitch-hiking and biking and what not, it makes it easy to go to a library and keep people updated on what I've been up to. Also, to arrange to meet up with people or have a phone conversation with them.
No more having to dig through my wallet for phone numbers, or making sure the ones in my phone are backed up in case my phone is lost or breaks (something that happens to me VERY frequently). I just sign in, find who I'm looking for, and shoot them a message.
That is, if the person I'm trying to reach is on Myspace/Facebook/Twitter.
First I got a Myspace.. that was simple enough. Set it up to where it'd send me an email and text message when I got a message from somebody.. so that I wouldn't have to log on or wonder whether somebody has gotten back to me yet.
Then, some friends of mine got very anti-Myspace for one reason or another. Probably got too "hip". But for some reason Facebook was fine and dandy for them.. so, reluctantly (well, in a way) I signed up. Again having a notification set up so that I don't actually have to login unless necessary.
Now, I would gladly stop using both Myspace and Facebook (I'd say delete my accounts, but what's the point really?), if more of my friends would get on Twitter. It suits my needs well.. you can send a private message, or update all of your "friends" at once, as well as read short posts about what your friends happen to be doing in their lives.
The main reason I got on Twitter initially was because all of my family uses it pretty frequently.. taking pictures on their phone and posting via twitpic, and updating while they are out and about. Seriously.. my mom, sister, aunt, two uncles, grandmother.. they're all on twitter. Do any of you have a grandmother on twitter?
Sure, the depth and quality of posts can be compromised at times, since the character limit is so low.. but if I want to really talk to somebody I'll just tell them to call me or shoot me an email.
Anyways twitter ain't so bad.

Twitter has actually proven to be helpful in situations where typical ways of reaching the public aren't possible, like the fires in California and the riots in Iran now.

gah, hahahaha i dont like it either, but unfortunatly thats how i found this site!!! i signed up for twitter like 3 months ago, and i never use it bc of the fact someone said above me, "There aren't very many people who I particularly care to be updated about minute details of their lives. "
but i signed on there to just to sign in i guess lol, and the Shroomery was following me and iclicked on the link and it brought me here, so i cant say i HATE twitter now.

yeah it's really being misused by most people. Like the ones that post 10 times a day. I like it for keeping track of my favorite artists or event promoters. That way i don't miss out on any upcoming gatherings.
it's the people that feel like they have to post every little thing they do that are killing it.
take it for what it is... only time will tell if it will last.

You say you hate Twitter? At least it serves a function in some cases.

It is not about what's for breakfast. If you still think the appeal of Twitter is to broadcast the minutae of your life, then of course you'll think it's dumb.
If somebody only talks about breakfast, then you unfollow them and you follow someone else who's talking about something interesting or useful.
Everybody is constantly dropping the people with nothing to say, and following innovators and up-and-comers. Everybody is always expanding and refining the network of people they follow, collecting the attention of people with all sorts of skills and insights, and dumping people with nothing to contribute.
It's like a giant bubble sort for finding the best and freshest minds in any field, on any topic. A search engine where actual human beings -- not just algorithms -- answer your questions and send resources to you.
If your network is big enough, you can have doctors answering your health questions, music fans discovering your music, expert mechanics telling you how not to get ripped off, David Lynch reading your essays, deal-hunters sending you the best prices, anything. You can find out in real time where the action is in your city, or make connects in a place you're traveling to. Making contact with people is easy.
Twitter is providing a real-time mechanism that accelerates the natural selection of ideas in any realm: business, science, culture, art. This is a side effect nobody predicted, and it's a very big deal.
In five years all of you will be doing this in some form. Most people are still at the "Fuck twitter I'm sick of hearing that word" phase, but that's fine. No need for everyone to jump on the bandwagon at once. Mark my words though, it will change communication forever. Dig up this post in five years.
Thanks to this post I decided to give it a try. Thanks WC! Now Im addicted to the damned thing I hated and didnt understand before.

Hell yeah, I'm with you Coaster! I hate hearing the word Twitter, on TV and in real-life!
The word Twitter can suck my wrinkle, hairy balls! But, the service is actually quite ingenious and convenient for talking to friends and family.
But hearing the word "Twitter", and its forms of it like "Just Tweet me!" or "Give me the Tweet-tails!" can suck a fat one!
Twitter can suck my tiny, tainted Tweeter! ~ LogicaL Chaos ~

Actaully coaster. I lost the source but it didn't really help that much.
something like only 10% of people in those countries regularly use the internet let alone twitter. and when it came to people tweeting from the riots and such something like 60% of them weren't even in that country but in Europe or america.
http://www.cracked.com/article_19225_5-reasons-twitter-isnt-actually-overthrowing-governments.html this is good enough and has sources.
