When there's a discussion going on, it can be interesting- probably what really soured me on the concept was when someone I know at school "livetweeted" a student senate meeting in excruciating detail.

I don't mind Livetweeting - I've done it myself from time to time ... I think its probably way worse if you follow a number of people that are tweeting the same event (like Maxfuncon) rather than just one person.

I'm definitely aware of who and when people unfollow me, but I try not to sweat it too much. You're free to craft your own twitter experience, know what I mean? You have to get the mix right for yourself.

Auntie Christina, you will never leave me, will you?

I certainly won't, Dave. You have one of the best Twitter feeds around.

Lord, no! I think you were one of the first FOTs who swapped follows with me, too.

Sorry, I am one of those pathetic, needy, begging for approval types.

I will never unfollow a FOT. Unless you get weird. Real weird.

I'm not using Twitter as much as I once did.

Probably because I've run out of things to say.

Has that stopped anyone else? I tweet about what color nail polish I'm wearing for chrissakes.

Does anyone have a http://www.formspring.me/ account? Sometimes things get interesting on there.

No. I checked it out after reading a "moral panic" type story about it on the NYT. I discovered that it looks like it justifies the moral panic. The users all seem to be under 16 years old (though presumably there are also some middle-aged creeps pretending to be 14 year old girls, too.) It's not for me, that's all I know.

But I don't paint my nails.

...which can be said for any other social networking site....

Anyway, my friends and I follow each other on there and it's a lot of fun to ask the most bizarre/interesting/thought provoking questions to each other. Of course, there is that anonymous option, which allows for some weird questions. i can differentiate between the ones I know are spammers/creepers and the ones from my friends, so I just don't answer the questions I think are weird. Easy peasy.

Hey Doodlejump, I didn't mean to come off as a judgmental jerk. (Even though I am one.) I just meant to say that it made me feel really old, and that it isn't for me - which, as you say, could be said of any other social networking site!
