Thanks for this great forum. This is my first post to the forum and I wonder what you people think.

Why people use Twitter? What motivates people to use Twitter? Any ideas? It’s about news or comments?
 
Twitter is for Twits!

You can win stuff
You can find out about news (I found out MJ was dead on twitter before the news channel/websites)
You can find out what your friends or fav celeb is doing if you wish
It keeps the all the spam in one place :p
 
How ironic...

Those saying twitter users have no life might like to consider their post count on internet forums, at least with twitter you're generally communicating with people you know.

I've started to use it to see what it's all about - it's kinda cool, but I don't really fully "get" it yet.

I was like this when I first started, as I added a few more friends and got used to it, I've started using it more.

This. Great for filtering out updates that you want to find out about things and getting them quicker than you would from other sources on the web.

I prefer to think of it as facebook without the BS. And life stealing EULA...

Gotta agree. If someone using twitter has no life instantly just because they use twitter, what of the people that go onto internet forums and accuse people that use twitter of having no lives?
 
I love twitter bashers, they're so predictable and have so much ironing.

I use it over dreaded pos known as MSN now. I keep in touch with friends, make new friends, keep aloft of what happens in my own town, traffic updates from real people stuck in jams, see what Davina is upto, discuss popular topics who else wants a list?

Half the time you'll find out about stuff on twitter before it even hits the general interwebs.

Well, how you use the service would depend on your personality. So if you're an attention seeker then sure, write about every last detail of your existence. I think the twitter video did them a disservice, it's much more useful than telling your family that you made a cup of tea, which seems to be what everyone who hasn't used twitter think it's used for.
