More then once someone has told me that yes, they could understand why someone my age wouldn't know to appreciate the benefits of twitter. They always assume it's a generational thing, and it isn't. I just plain find it annoying, full of nonsense, no real conversation and not even enough room if you do want to leave someone a real message.Trudynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-67821890776867482182009-11-22T11:49:54.074-05:002009-11-22T11:49:54.074-05:00Spot on!Spot on!NonymousGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11797875644242667498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-40499500856915086362009-11-22T11:08:31.371-05:002009-11-22T11:08:31.371-05:00Don't talk to the manager of my department abo...Don't talk to the manager of my department about Twitter. He hates it! At a recent department meeting he came out and banned any twittering during work hours. He said he was paying us for 35 hours of work, not 5 hours of work and 30 hours of twitter. Since the company pays for our Blackberries he said that we're going to have to start paying for them unless we can show that it was only work conversation that is on them.Tuvinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-51138014880516231052009-11-22T10:50:05.810-05:002009-11-22T10:50:05.810-05:00Twitterers are the new "chattering class,&quo...Twitterers are the new "chattering class," I guess, except the conversation is less stimulating.Arinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-87871477473920210392009-11-22T10:28:19.448-05:002009-11-22T10:28:19.448-05:00As I remember you don't much like cellphones e...As I remember you don't much like cellphones either.
