Who's not on twitter?

    Just wondering is there actually any one who is not using twitter.com? Does any one actually dislike the site for any reason? Do you think its become too popular and full on teenage girls telling everyone there eating there breakfast or winey old stay at home moms?

    Litrally everyone from britney to bill gates is on twitter, has anyone not got time for it?

    I use it myself but not that much, infact i use it mainly for spamming my thousands of random followers links when i can be botherd too.

    Does any one think twitter is just spammy and like myspace bullitens used to be for marketing? You'd get 1 click out of 10,000 friends :D ?


    :D

    The more you talk there the more followers you will get.

    This is what I have noticed :)

    I oppose twitter, much like all social networking sites. Unfortunately there are too many ways to make money on these sites, which is why I cannot stay away..

    My contempt for myself grows larger everytime I log on!

    All websites are not just for making money, some of them are just for fun and twitter is one of them :)

    the thing is twitter is meant to be a website just for social fun, but people like my self i admit are spoiling it a little too much e.g by spamming sale links around in tweets, i think twitter is simple and i like that, facebook is a bit too complecated unlike twitter which is basic microblogging and status updating.

    I'm on Twitter, but I don't think it's all that. It's overhyped by media. I predict it will be sold within a year from now because the owner will realize that it's way overvalued.

    None of the above. Maybe by some private investor.

    They should have sold a long time ago. The site has to cost a small fourtune to run every month, and it doesn't generate very much income/if any at all.

    I've never really understood the attraction really. From a marketing perspective I guess it makes sense. But all those people on it following celebrities need to find something better to do with their time.

    I am one of those who do not use twitter. The first time I've visited it i found it to be utterly boring and useless. Have no plans to revisit the site anytime soon.

    Honestly speaking I dont use Twitter. I have yet to check out the site and it'll probably stay that way.

    Personally, I think its mostly full of SPAM and teens. People are using it as a form of advertisment so you never know what type of quality material is on the site.

    The above is just an opinion : )
