Can someone explain to me what's the deal with "Twitter" and why you'd be doing that while you drive

[AlCzervik]

does everyone need to know what you're doing every second of the day?

Thanks.

sounds kind of filthy.

1. I certainly can't

I'd never heard of it until a few weeks ago, when someone asked me to join.

Seems totally mindless and pointless.

But then, I'm a geezer myself.



PS- People do that while they DRIVE?

Sounds like the way my friend was killed- in a head-on collision with a texting teenager.

2. The explanation is this:

It's a hoax. Everything about it is false. Backwards B. Bogus black eye. And a lot more.

3. I'm 22 and I hate Twitter

I use just about all of the popular networking sites out there, but Twitter? I just don't get either.

But it is quite common for people to update their Twitters every half hour or so or even sooner.

4. Best not to twitter while driving--

if you have an accident, guess who seizes your cellie and checks whether you were texting...

5. A lot of 20-somethings text and drive

Very dangerous, but they do it.

7. i drive a stick shift, no yapping or texting in my car, just shifting gears.

6. Twitterists are twits.

Well, from another geezer...

I think it indicates a rather highly developed sense of self-adulation to think that anyone in the world cares that you're driving around looking for an ATM from your own bank and that before that you were eating pizza and then you were sucking your thumb while sitting on the crapper. It seems to suggest that Twitterists are twits.
