I'll bring it to bear on a semi-serious note.

 

I use to do a small gaming/entertainment podcast and used twitter to advertise the new episodes. Haven't done it in a while, but I follow mostly game developers, game companies, and Simon Peg.

 

I'm not posting feed links, because I'm sure like 90% of you here just don't care lol.

I actually think it's a good thread. There will always be those who refuse to try new things, but Twitter is actually quite useful for several different purposes. While I don't currently use it, I have in the past. Some of the posted feeds are making me consider starting another account.

I just honestly use it to kill time in the bathroom. Nothing says time waster like reading twitter while taking a Modern Warfare 3.

As little as a few months ago, I cursed evertime someone mentioned Twitter. I had done that without ever seeing or logging on to it. I got a new smartphone and one of the apps are supported via Twitter. That got me to make an account. I started spending some time with it and found I could get instant news feeds, local feeds of interests and be able to communicate to TV personalities that I enjoy. Ever since, I've been hooked. I thought it would be nice if those who used Twitter would share their feeds. I had never anticipated it would have turned into what it did. Anyway, I'm 10-7 for a bit.

I jest with that "Tweets are for birds" thing.... I actually do have that t-shirt. However, I do have a twitter account - it does help to keep track of some current events sometimes... and I can message people through it

Why do you need to "follow" someone or something on Twitter? Their website should suffice. Jesus Christ people, get a life!

There seems to be some confusion about what Twitter is and isn't... sure, you can sit there and tweet all sorts of nonsense about yourself that no one will probably care about. But, no says you HAVE to tweet anything, or tell anyone what your twitter name is.

 

It can be a useful tool depending on how you use it. I couldn't care less about the "social" aspect of it... but I do use it to keep up with a bunch of gun/gear related retailers and web sites because it saves me the trouble of having to go to each individual site to find out about a sale they're having or a giveaway contest they're running.

 

Anyway, here are some decent gun/knife/gear related twitter links in no particular order

That should keep you busy for a while

With over 11,000 posts on (1) message board since April 2009, you're actually telling people to get a life? You crack me me up with just about every post you make Ray. Think of it as a single source and single collection point for everything and anything you ever wanted to know. News, media, events, sports, science, support, etc. The list is really endless and you can access this anytime, from just about any place, to a single source, without ever "tweeting" to anyone. You really have to experience it to understand it. That was my biggest mistake in having really strong negative feelings about it at first. Anyway, I'm off-track again. I don't want this to be a thread to justify Twitter. If you don't use it, that's fine too. Just move on and ignore the thread.

Awesome response and summary Caine. I appreciate it.

I don't always tweet. But when I do, I prefer to tweet queer slurs (like Amare Stoudemire)

Right, (1) message board. Not on a bunch of other forums or websites or pages or whatever.

Sorry about not sharing, but it is more of a personal contact list.

I'm 10-7 for a bit.

 

 

you mean "QRX" ?

No, I mean 10-7. I'm talking 11-meters AM. Not SSB or one of ham bands.
