Why do you persist in foisting that inane 'Twitter' box on this site?Why would want to 'tweet' when I am on here?

[moondog]

arf. it makes me feel like an old lady in the corner of the room shouting 'whats that you say?' i just can't follow it.

So mindless...

yet quite amusing when read wrongly

MumsnetTowers Staff caught tampering benefits records.

all those annoyingly flashing nastythings are useless and crap. ditch the lot.

My MN local have been advetrtising 2 events - one in 2007 and one in 2015for years.

Yes, but ... if its really mindless, why are so many Mnetters tweeting more or less all the time and never posting on here any more?

I am as old sceptical as the rest of you, but there must be some attraction to tweeting that the rest of us just don't "get".

Come over to Twitter and join us! See what it's all about!

i de-regged because of bleeding twitter and fb. apparently i crawled back, but now serially namechange.

i'm waiting for the first broadsheet obit that starts with a list of usernames and sites so there can be proper virtual mourning.

although can i have madwomanintheattic back, please? i liked her.

Oh thank goodness its not just me.

Its like reading Coptic script. I keep looking at it and thinking "what does that actually mean?

Isn't it just repeating what is on the threads but in less intelligible way?

Decipherthat!

The bits at the side annoy me as DD1 demands to know what they all are.

Gaaaah!

Now I've created a big whte gap on MN with that last post.

Don't worry - they'll fill it with an advert ...

I have never ventured into Twitter as

I don't quite get it and
Don't see the point.

It appears to be electronic clutter.

Really? Really?

You can't understand what it says?

::shakes head::

Nothing worse that Luddites posing as internet users.

Come into the 21st Century. You'll be much happier here with us. I promise.

Also - i can't go no Twitter about something on here that's specific as it's my real name iyswim...

go on Twitter that was meant to say.

TheDoodler -

Tee2072 - I'll have you know I have been typing with two fingers since before the internet was invented. I was using a ZX Spectrum before Bill Gates was shaving.

I refuse to join the 21st Century!

MN is like a Boeing 747. It looks like it was invented in the 1960s but it works. I dont want to fly in a modern plane made of recycled plastic stitched together with elecronics I dont understand anymore than I want to go on Trwitter.

Tee2072 - explain it then....

Tell me one good reason why we should Twitter.

Even the name irritates me.

Twitter is like email but a lot less good.

Imagine if email had been invented in 1980 but you were only allowed to use 140 characters. Everyone would have thought it was rubbish and it would have died.

Now everyone writes uninteligible junk in text speak on mobiles - suddenly Twitter seems modern and wizzy.

Thanks BeenBeta.

I will happily forego Twittering and remain Amish.

I cannot understand the need for 24 hour communication that is unimportant or relevant. Each to their own, I suppose.

Yes, the name irritates me immensely too.
The Facebook and Twitter crap cluttering this up reminds me of anover anxious mother offering all sorts to a fussy toddler.

What would you like? Biscuits? No? Yes? And cheese? What about a little bit.? And oooh, here are some sausages. You luuurve those! Now... drinks. Orange, apple, Ribena, smoothie? Which one babes?'

Why do we assume choice equals quality? It doesn't.

Twitter more addictive than crack cocaine

I agree Twitter feed box on here is beyond irrelevent. And i'm on twitter
