I finally understand why I don't like Twitter

Ewan nailed it:

Texting, in this context, is totally last century.  It needs to be an app on your phone.

Bingo! I don't even like push email, I prefer opening the Gmail application when I have the time to actually go thru my messages.

I can't imagine what it would be like getting text messages all day that are complete rubbish. I don't care what my friends are doing this very second; I only care about what they're doing when I have the free time to sit on my butt and ponder when our next evening of debauchery will take place.

      The only SMSes I get on my phone from Twitter are when people do a direct message. Otherwise, I just check in via the web on the phone. Either Twitter's site directly or the WAP formatted version that 30boxes does. They both work.

      I thought people actually liked the whole getting 100's of text messages a day thing?

      I 2nd Jaiku. The S60 app is awesome, especially for 3rd edition.

      I have a script running that posts my Jaiku updates over to twitter just to keep my twitter using friends happy.

      Hi stefan,

      Hmm, i don't like twitter either, but for different reasons.

      I read somewhere today, that it took Twitter for the US to catch on to what Europe has been on for years - SMS.

      Like I said, I don't like twitter either, but there are an awful lot of people to live and die by SMS. And then there are the under twenty-somethings in Europe.

      I suggest you pay a visit to somewhere in Europe to see exactly what I mean.

      Stand outside (or even inside) any irish bar, and you'll see the power of SMS.

      bernard
