what's the point when you have FB status updates?

I'm an addict.

The status updates on facebook are one of my favourite aspects of FB, so I liked the idea of twitter when I first heard about it a week or so ago. I've signed up, but it hasn't stuck with me as yet, I think because none of my friends are using it.

Twitter is for productivity douche-bags and aspirational web developers.

I used to use Twitter quite a lot, but Facebook status updates reach a lot more of my friends, and I can do them from my phone as easily as a Twitter so I've kind of abandoned it.

I think Twitter is good for publishing interesting links and news and things, and for asking advice from the microblogosphere, but for the latter you'd need a whole load of like-minded followers and it's hard to get there.

I use Twitter to keep up with a very small handful of friends (FreakyTrigger mob mostly) so mine is mostly a collection of stupid injokes that come to my mobile. I like that a lot, saves me having to text loads of people at once, but it freaks me out when I see random strangers following me. I have to purge my followers list about once a week.

This is the key, really. Twitter got some ferocious use at wwdc, and was v. good for finding out what was giong on where, and what sessions to leave, etc, but it doesn't work so well if you've just trucked up in some random place.

There's a twitter client for iPhone that might help with that though -- it shows you all the updates from folks in your location.

the end of twitter in the UK? er: yes, as far as i can see. i don't want to have to *look* for tweets. i want them to come to me:

Hi,

I'm sending you this note because you registered a mobile device
to work with Twitter over our UK number. I wanted to let you
know that we are making some changes to the way SMS works on
Twitter. There is some good news and some bad news.

I'll start with the bad news. Beginning today, Twitter is no
longer delivering outbound SMS over our UK number. If you enjoy
receiving updates from Twitter via +44 762 480 1423, we are
recommending that you explore some suggested alternatives.

Note: You will still be able to UPDATE over our UK number.

Before I go into more detail, here's a bit of good news: Twitter
will be introducing several new, local SMS numbers in countries
throughout Europe in the coming weeks and months. These new
numbers will make Twittering more accessible for you if you've
been using SMS to send long-distance updates from outside the UK.

Why are we making these changes?

Mobile operators in most of the world charge users to send
updates. When you send one message to Twitter and we send it to
ten followers, you aren't charged ten times--that's because we've
been footing the bill. When we launched our free SMS service to
the world, we set the clock ticking. As the service grew in
popularity, so too would the price.

Our challenge during this window of time was to establish
relationships with mobile operators around the world such that
our SMS services could become sustainable from a cost perspective.
We achieved this goal in Canada, India, and the United States.
We can provide full incoming and outgoing SMS service without
passing along operator fees in these countries.

We took a risk hoping to bring more nations onboard and more
mobile operators around to our way of thinking but we've arrived
at a point where the responsible thing to do is slow our costs
and take a different approach. Since you probably don't live in
Canada, India, or the US, we recommend receiving your Twitter
updates via one of the following methods.

m.twitter.com works on browser-enabled phones
m.slandr.net works on browser-enabled phones
TwitterMail.com works on email-enabled phones
Cellity [http://bit.ly/12bw4R] works on java-enabled phones
TwitterBerry [http://bit.ly/MFAfJ] works on BlackBerry phones
Twitterific [http://bit.ly/1WxjwQ] works on iPhones

Twitter SMS by The Numbers

It pains us to take this measure. However, we need to avoid
placing undue burden on our company and our service. Even with a
limit of 250 messages received per week, it could cost Twitter
about $1,000 per user, per year to send SMS outside of Canada,
India, or the US. It makes more sense for us to establish fair
billing arrangements with mobile operators than it does to pass
these high fees on to our users.

Twitter will continue to negotiate with mobile operators in
Europe, Asia, China, and The Americas to forge relationships
that benefit all our users. Our goal is to provide full, two-way
service with Twitter via SMS to every nation in a way that is
sustainable from a cost perspective. Talks with mobile companies
around the world continue. In the meantime, more local numbers
for updating via SMS are on the way. We'll keep you posted.

Thank you for your attention,
Biz Stone, Co-founder
Twitter, Inc.

I never understood why anyone would want tweets pushed to them. I get excited when I receive a text. I don't want to find it's some spazz like me telling the world they've found an odd-coloured bogey up their nose.

― Alba, Thursday, 14 August 2008 09:21 (ten years ago) Permalink

it would be nice, when the iphone's push service is switched on, if twitter would push messages down to twitterific - this would solve the 'excited when I receive a text only to find it's about a bogey' problem

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Thursday, 14 August 2008 13:25 (ten years ago) Permalink

I have a friend who uses this to read his friends' feeds, so I basically only see it from the angle of a person who is constantly checking his phone while I'm trying to have a conversation with him. The first time I heard of Twitter was from him when I finally got exasperated with his constantly checking his phone.

Maybe I'm the one with the problem, but I can't really think of anyone in the world interesting enough for me to want updates on their activities throughout the day. I'd say the only people I could imagine wanting to twitter could be: Drug smuggler, violent prison inmate, Slash-in-his-heyday type rock star, and a dog (if they somehow managed to translate its thoughts into English text).

SMS functionality seems to be its USP now that Facebook status updates have taken the mainstream microblogging space.

As I said above, people using it for pushed news bulletins and question-broadcasting rather than personal what-i'm-doing stuff is another application.

Depends who you follow I suppose.

I think this used to be the case but increasingly (maybe this is the new "algorithm"?) to be on Twitter at all is to be on all of Twitter. The whole design of the platform works aggressively against creating micro-communities in which (less chaotic, more coherent) "conversations" or encounters can take place. The supreme annoyance of Twitter is that it's a room in which all points of view and all forms of talking are taking place at once and responding to (at) each other--when in the real world for any coherent or productive kind of communication to take place you're already relying of a number of exclusions and simplifications (or reductions in complexity) of social space.

― ryan, Wednesday, 22 August 2018 Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

However much white noise there is, it hasn't been enough to stop connection forming. In my time I do see micro-communities (via group chats and the like) that develop when a few people find each other on twitter - and I reckon many of these then transfer to the real world connections so I am not sure it works as you say.

― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 23 August 2018 13:26 (one month ago) Permalink

to clarify we did not meet on twitter, and at this point most people in it either don't use twitter or have it write-only. in my experience micro-communities do not form on twitter (or other social media) but are reflections of what exists in the real world already. which is what people don't understand about @ replying and why it usually isn't wanted

― aloha darkness my old friend (katherine), Thursday, 23 August 2018 13:55 (one month ago) Permalink

I am sure that much of it is a reflection of the outside world but I have seen people from different places but similar interests forming connections.

Besides, twitter allows you to restrict your notifications to see replies by mutuals only so that aspect is covered, for the most part. I see the fact that many don't do it (despite knowing of it) means that they are looking to hear others' points of view (although you often see people's patience being tested).

― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 23 August 2018 14:17 (one month ago) Permalink

"hurt me" meme always reminds me of this (which i actually think is fairly funny)

We are tearing ourselves apart.

Twitter is not a "dumb site". Facebook isn't a "dumb site". I've a friend who was diagnosed with PTSD because of all the shit he had to moderate for facebook: decapitations, child-pornography... It's not the sites that are dumb; it's that we've created monsters. We want to say and draw and place photos of everything from nice to vile to criminal and... expect, somehow, these platforms can moderate that. Can moderate "us". People put so much out there, online, who could possibly moderate all that?

There are 19 year olds in Manilla working for Facebook having to press either a 'keep' or 'delete' button, preferably within three to five seconds, deciding on what we can or cannot see on facebook. Can't blame them for making mistakes. We are doing this. Same with twitter. Force-feed our first world shit through a digital medium and eventually someone in the third world will deem it inappropriate. It's how rotten we are.

Ive been in dozens of bar fights (ask the guys I grew up with) nearly lost an eye in one and that's just one of the injuries (I have the scarred stitch marks to prove the rest) never been black out drunk but I have had to defend myself, which I am still perfectly capable of doing https://t.co/VQSotGWW5g
