@StephenFry #Love you but I still #hate #Twitter

 

Why?

~ It is unsatisfactory to read because of both the brevity (ref the 140-character limit to each posting) and the disfigured English and codes that are part of its conventions to include URLs and tags

~ It is used mostly for self-promotion, and much of the traffic is automated — ie forwarded from somewhere else rather than written specifically for Twitter

~ The sheer quantity of postings plus the inane nature of most of them equals a junk diet

no buts except on the odd occasion where it’s been used from a phone in a life or death situation; and the constant presence of Stephen Fry. Maybe the only thing I don’t “get” about Fry is his championing of Twitter, and how or why he keeps it up. It’s not as though he needs the fans.
