Twitter is for people with an overinflated sense of importance.
Get over yourselves . . . NO ONE is that important!!!
Why would I care to read a running commentary of every moment of your life – minute to minute thoughts, what movie or TV program you just watched, or what you had to eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner – WHY, WHY, WHY.
Twitter is a soapbox for people to shout from – unfortunately no one really cares what you have to say, they only care about what they have to say – it’s a pointless social utility for people with an overinflated sense of importance; egomaniacs, if you will.
I’ll say it again, Get over yourselves . . . NO ONE is that important!!!

Think Twitter doesn't suck? Your wrong. Here's why. There are too many idiots on it. "I'm putting the lid down." "I'm dropping my pants." "I'm sitting down." Do these people want to have a stalker? Is that why they do that? Or are they just idiots? The biggest problem is the 140 character limit. That is not enough to say anything meaningful. Youtube has a limit of 500 characters for comments on videos and sometimes thats not enough. A normal blogs, email and instant massaging can do the same thing as twitter but your not limited to 140 characters and they can do it better. Thats not to say that Twitter can't be good. They need to increase the limit to at leas a 1000 characters but normal blogs, email and instant massaging will still do the same thing but better. After a while all those who love twitter will see its huge flaws and twitter will die. But of course by that time Google would have bought it for a billion dollars.

One of the many reasons I find Twitter unsatisfactory is their lack of customer service. They are unresponsive to a major degree. For example, if you have log-in problems, you have to submit a support request. To submit a support request, you have to log-in. Does anyone else see the problem here?

If you send an email to the address provided – support @…. – you get a robo-mail telling you how you need to have a ’strong’ password and sending you to their password troubleshooting page. That then leads to the forums and support pages which can only be accessed by logging-in. If you send another e-mail, you just get the same robo-mail.

One of my acquaintances who has to use it for his job put it rather succinctly: “Twitter is run by twits who tweet”. After my experience, I have to agree.

“The problem with twitter is that the service is down more often than it is up. Imagine if you wanted to write a blog entry and your server said “not now — I’m overcapacity yet again.” Then 10 minutes later, same thing; 30 minutes later, same again.”

I AGREE COMPLETELY!!! This was posted in 2008, well I just started using Twitter 2 days ago. Can’t get a simple profile setup due to issues pointed out to them months ago. STILL NOT FIXED.

I’m done with this service, Twitter Sucks!!!!

Use LinkedIn. Much better than twacker or whatever it’s called.

I guess I’m just a few years too old.

Right. Considering the 300,000 jobs of writers et al out there, if I got a $2000 freelance job after wasting my time checking in like a house-arrest inmate? Jobs have been and always will be secured by proper networking and more personal meetings.

Twitter isn’t a professional’s tool, it’s a toy. It will get old, and people will move on. Twitterphiles may love the “Me me me me,” next step in a world where self-importance rules all, but that’s why Twitter too, will be replaced.

I would never use twitter to hire for my business, and I write. If you get hired by it, good for you. It isn’t something I’d hold my breath over, jobseekers.
