firstnameunknown Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Britney Spears started following me months back, then stopped, and is now following me again... she's clearly flirting I think you'll all agree. Â I initially joined up to follow certain folk, then figured I probably ought to post at least some updates myself, but seeing as nobody I know in "real life" uses Twitter, I feel like I'm pretty much talking to myself like some kind of Internet crazy person most of the time. Â I've started scaling back the amount of people I actually follow now. P. Diddy's updates were (are) annoying as all fuck, for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's what I use, as yeah I also know no one in real life that uses it, so yeah, just update it via twitbin on firefox and it does the FB status too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Au Posted April 20, 2009 Paid Members Share Posted April 20, 2009 Quite surprised so many people don't have real-life people on their Twitter - the way I first heard about Twitter was from all the invites I got when my mates signed up.

I may be wrong, it's been a few months. Or it feels like a few months... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â The influx of corporations and individuals using it to market is the only thing that I hate about Twitter. Â "Increase your followers 10-fold with these easy tips on our website!" "Gain 1 million followers in one week!" "You could do with our new service, x. Check it out!" No, thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
