Er, then why bother following them?

Always wondered how people can 'follow' hundreds or thousands of different twitterers. I mean, what's the point?

Also, the layout of the site makes my head hurt.

Don't use the site to follow the posts, use something like tweetdeck.

That way if you are following hundreds of people you can organise them so that interesting messages don't get lost within the huge amount of twets.,

How do they know what an 'interesting tweet' is, though? Ok, keywords perhaps, but...

I just don't get it, and I'm not sure I will.

Is it just me or has this thing taken on a new level of sensitivity lately? Seems you can't have a sense of humour or opinion on there without some jumped up PC saddo calling you out on it.

Stupid Twits

Chris Johnson, editor of Click Liverpool, is never short of wise words and his latest are ones that should be heeded by any social networking fiend.

"Twitter can be dangerous", he said and that observation could not be any closer to the truth as sensitivity now appears to be the order of the day on the micro-blogging network.

Everyone it seems nowadays uses Twitter; friends, family and colleagues alike appear to have bought into the notion that the only way of making themselves heard on the information superhighway is by using just 140 characters.

It is novel concept but it is also in grave danger of suffering the same fate as other hit social networking outlets and being overrun by political correctness.

I have a Twitter account as it is a useful tool to use when communicating with readers and fellow journalists. What I did not sign up for, however, was to have each and every 'tweet' scrutinised by the sensitivity brigade.

The tweets in question were not racist, homophobic, offensive or even controversial - merely dry-humoured remarks. No one was directly targeted but political correctness bores took them far out of context and made a mountain out of a molehill.

You would have thought I had committed some heinous crime judging by the comments responding to my tweet but the internet is a serious business to some people and there is always one willing to get uppity over the slightest thing purely for the sake of mock outrage.

Society seems to have taken on a new level of über-sensitivity and Twitter is the latest flavour of the month being placed under the microscope by the current breed of Mary Whitehouses.

This is one of the problems with communicating via computer - things can be misinterpreted and blown out of all proportion to the point that the message originally trying to be conveyed is lost entirely and replaced with something far more sinister.

People aren't allowed to call a spade a spade any more for fear that it will be twisted to suit the agendas of a select few.

Twitter isn't the problem here, just like Facebook and MySpace weren't before it. Society has taken political correctness a further step in the wrong direction and should reconsider its stance before picking up the cyber pitchforks once again.

i cant say anything meaningful with an infinite number of characters let alone 140.

The only way to fight PC is to ignore it. Just carry on. The trouble with text is that it conveys none of the body language that portrays context and the subtleties of language. Especially the way us Brits use the language. For instance the 'c' word is both an insult and a term of affection in many parts of the country. My mates and I always call each other c*nt, twat, dickhead etc. Because we see each others faces and hear the way the terms are used we infer its just banter. In the same vein even a stranger can use those words as banter and we infer it as such. Because body language and tone are as important to language as the words are themselves. It is for this reason I dismiss the importance of twitter and its ilk. Even forums such as these are just the CB radio of the modern age. We should not lose sight of the importance of actual face to face communication. Unless your ugly.

Seems to be. Use mine for work but it's starting to grate me how people latch onto the slightest thing and blow it out of all proportion. Seems to be a lot giving out what they can't take back too.

More 90% shit, 10% useful. However, the value of that 10% for me personally far outweighs the non-value of the rest. Twitter is about attention, not publication. You chose what you want or not.

Anyway, there's another largish thread about Twitter. If you can't figure out the search function, there's little help for you with Twitter ;D :wave..........not you personally BCCC
