Twitter or Facebook

Im way to boring for twitter and its TMI IMHO....I have a Facebook account that I look at 2-3 times a week but im kinda boring for that also.
In fact I have 3 tweets and zero followers.....I dont even know anybody on twitter to be honest.....does anybody use it?

I started to but felt as if I was all alone, there was no interaction.  Waste of time in my opinion.  I have a Facebook account but again, although there's more interaction, it's still not enough.

Not me.... but I don't use Facebook, either.  I'd rather try to stay unconnected these days....

I'm not a member and see no reason to open one seeing that I'm on four different Forums already!!!

I got a twatter account, but I think that might be a little bit different from what you guys are talking about.

Forums are more than enough for me.

I do have a Facebook account, but rarely use it. This place and local friends keep me busy enough.

I have a Facebook account. I know nothing about Twitter and have no desire to. Keeping up with things here and touching base daily with a few friends and my kids on Facebook is enough for me!

I have a Twitter acct. Haven't even opened it in over a month. I don't have anyone to follow and noone I know follows me. Really I can't see any value.

My daughters got me to sign onto facebook....  but I check in once in a while and really don't have much to contribute..........

If they are the same in US as UK its best to make regular deposits to keep  topped it up, if it runs dry it may foreclose and you then may be asked to transfer your business elsewhere

You men are digusting!!!!!!!!!

I did have a facebook but I got bored of getting 500 emails a day saying "Robert is having a wee", "Jan is washing up".

Life is too short.

I at first did not understand your comment, but then when I realised you meant disgusting I looked at my post. Imagine my surprise when I researched the offending word. Myself and I imagine Bubba have made the same mistake as Robert Browning in understanding what this word means. I believe even Darwin was mislead. Bubba & I are in exhaulted company.

I have copied wikipedia.

Robert Browning famously misused the term in his 1841 poem "Pippa Passes", believing it to be an item of nun's clothing:[2]
Then owls and bats
Cowls and twats
Monks and nuns in a cloister's moods
Adjourn to the oak-stump pantry

Its meaning was in reality the same then as now, Browning's misconception probably having arisen from a line in a 1660 satirical poem, Vanity of Vanities:
They talk't of his having a Cardinalls Hat
They'd send him as soon an Old Nuns Twat

Another mistaken (or perhaps dialectal) use was in Edward Bulwer-Lytton's 1870 science fiction novel The Coming Race, in an apparent satire on Darwin:
Among the pithy sayings which, according to tradition, the philosopher bequeathed to posterity in rhythmical form and sententious brevity, this is notably recorded: "Humble yourselves, my descendants; the father of your race was a 'twat' (tadpole): exalt yourselves, my descendants, for it was the same Divine Thought which created your father that develops itself in exalting you."

Oi smarty pants.

I realised the typo...couldn't be bothered to change it.

I've looked at that exact same page today for another purpose...Lisa's use of of a term which has a different meaning in the UK.

Small world huh Love?

Hm. I just looked up that word that Lisa used - I didn't realize the um, differences!  
Jimbits76

Interesting...in the US it would seem that most rude words related to the physical form come from the rear whereas in the uk, it come from the front.

I set up a Twitter account and signed on to a few professional Twits/Tweets/Twats (whatever they're called). I made the mistake of having the messages appear on my phone.  I kept getting so many innane, idiotic messages, I turned off the phone messaging option.  I haven't looked at my Twitter account in a couple of weeks.  What a waste of time.

I also set up a Facebook account (sort of at Adrian's and Paulie's suggestion).  That's a little bit more fun.  I have actually reconnected with some people from my past (on a selective basis).

It's now full of Farmer Brown has got a new cow, the Mafia bosses need new machine guns etc.  Too many applications for people to waste their time on.  

It's good for finding old friends and publishing groups though.

It would be more like squashing a bug.  Wouldn't be enough left to cook.  I'd just have to sweep him into the dustbin.  
Jimbits76

We need one of those bug zappers that M' has...when his little firefly starts buzzing around her when they're down by the lake, M just zaps it with an electric charge!!!!!

Bit like Dumdog's shock collar.

I think the dog saw sense earlier than old ac/dc1957

And this coming from someone who thinks being told they are "hung like a light switch" is a compliment.
