AMEN TO THAT after 3 years of hard work the scumbags shut down FACEBOOK and now Twitter accounts that cost me alot of money and time. They only want celebrities that get followed by millions of people BUT guess what that don’t pay the bills. In the end Myspace will be the survivor because i have never had a problem with them.
PS:
I have become aware that their employee’s in competion with your affiliate marketing are shutting down competitve sites so that you can’t compete.

Lets SUE THE SCUMBAGS BLIND

Using social bookmarking sites like twitter is a great help for people. Here, you will learn more because a lot of followers will also give their insight and through that, it will give you an additional knowledge about what is happening. So it means that you are more updated.

I have a whole different issue with Twitter. Let me tell you my experience after I was unable to login to my account. I get the message "username/password invalid."I'm still receiving my email "follower notices", but I no longer receive them on my cellphone. I contacted them 33 hrs. ago, and they sent me a "standard" email for things to check in this situation. Such as try to reset account, check my bulk folder, and how to derive "secure" passwords. Its been 33 hrs. since then, and I haven't heard hide nor hair from them since. I thought this problem would be fixed by now. If you were running a business, and you had your power turned off for 33 hrs., how would you feel? One big key is that with this problem I'm unable to "follow" anybody, even people that decide to "follow" me. Maybe, they have "suspended" my account. But, they haven't told me that, and I don't have any kind of notice on my Twitter page. I just wished they would let me know something or get this problem fixed. I'm furious with how they have seemed to ignore me.

I couldn't agree more. I just read an article that Twitter is a flop in Europe.Speaking for the 50+ crowd (please understand that I really love technology), whatever happened to interacting with people in real time???We are growing further and further from person-to-person interaction and hunkering down into our cyberworld nests. IMHO, this is not healthy… people are supposed to interact with each other in a meaningful way.As much as we may try in the cyber-world, nothing can match eye-to-eye contact when interacting with another human being. We need to see the non-verbal cues so that we can learn more appropropriate social skills.As an educator, I'm seeing more generations of people who are socially inept and lack the skills to work out problems with others.Who needs to know when I'm eating a sandwich? Instead of technology making the world easier and more efficient, we are tethered to cellphones and laptops. Many corporate people are "on call" 24/7.We need time to unplug from the digital society and spend more time with friends and family in a slower, more relaxed pace. Technology has become a double-edged sword and the more dependent we become on it, the more deterioration we will see in our societies.

Does anyone here know exactly HOW to disable auto-follow on Twitter? I opened a new account about a month ago and since then my account has been randomly auto-following people! It's ruining my twitter experience!

"The 140 character restriction just encourages people to post half-baked thoughts – indeed, it's virtually impossible to say anything of substance with that much space."Then you're following the wrong people.Again, your article and comments say more about how you don't "get" twitter, and don't know how to use it than it does about the failings of the service itself. One could also make similar arguments about other pieces of technology."email? What's wrong with regular mail?""Fax? What's wrong with just sending a letter fedex overnight?""Search? Can't I just look in the phonebook?""PDA? I'll just carry my day planner!""Caller ID? I'll just only give my number to people I want to talk to.""text messaging? What's wrong with just calling them?""Yahoo! Messenger? I'll just stick with AIM, thank you.""Facebook? I'll just stick with Friendster, thank you!"Your rant on this subject puts you somewhere between luddite and old fogey-ism. I added the CDC twitter when the swine flu story first broke, — heck of a lot easier than combing the news for bits and pieces, and the CDC twitter was up to the minute. People use it for Amber Alerts, to learn more about a subject by following an expert who posts links to articles they like. It has value, just not for everyone, and you're not required to like or use it. Clearly it holds no interest for you, but that is not the same thing as it being useless in general.At the end of the day, these are all just options. Use or don't use them.

Ultimately, if I'm just following people who are writing interesting things, or following celebrities, how is this different than blogging, but at a much more inane level. The 140 character restriction just encourages people to post half-baked thoughts – indeed, it's virtually impossible to say anything of substance with that much space.Recommending URLs – that sounds like Digg, StumbleUpon, or Del.icio.us to me.So combine blogs, Facebook, and Digg and I have everything i need, only better, than what I might get from Twitter if I spend a bunch of time ferreting out the few good Tweeters from the masses of spam.
