BMW fans on Twitter

ElliottP · 04-14-2009, 01:07 AM

I'm sure that many of you have heard of Twitter, its been on the news and what not lately, and I'd invite everyone here to get involved. Basically, it allows you to update the world with anything you desire, in 140 characters or less. For instance you could say: "I'm flying down Hollywood Blvd at 125 mph" via text message and all your friends would know right away.

Following people or entities is a great way to keep abreast of what's new right now as in this very second. It's a lot of fun!

Anyway, the point of this post is to a) make a list of bmw people to follow, and b) have everyone link their twitter name.

Here are some good twitterers to follow:

This list is far from complete, so please reply with suggestions and your twitter handle. Mine is TalllGuy

Peace,

Elliott

I fail to see why anyone should be so desperate to know what I'm doing second by second that I need to sign up for twitter. Seems more like an invention for old people to feel cool and hip more than anything useful to me. Im 18 btw.

I twitter when I take a dump or shave my balls.

SteveMD · 04-14-2009, 09:00 AM

Facebook is better.

Am I the only person who thinks twitter is WEETAHDEEED?

Hopefully everyone here has better things to do than melt their brain on Twitter telling your fiends all the things your doing that no one really gives two shits about - get a life, if you have time to constantly twitter about your life, then it means you have no life!

Zirenz2006 · 04-14-2009, 10:14 AM

Twitter is actually lamer than Facebook..no easy feat

Facebook is absurd too.

"Mike is eating a sandwich"

"Jen is excited for the weekend"

"Chris sent a gift to Marissa using superpoke"

WTF?

Exactly!

i personally think twitter is useless... except if your a journalist or researcher for a news corporation or your job title depends on breaking news and updates. I also think twitter is in its final days... While i hate facebook and recently noticed it has become an information and sensory overload, i think facebook has killed whatever chance twitter had in the industry...

Facebook has over 200 million active users and over half of those users log on to Facebook at least once each day. Now that is ridiculous!

I bet a large part of the those that logon daily are chicks, because of the incredible and unexplainable need women have to stick their nose into other people's business.

...my sexist flame suit is on...

I like FB. I have a lot of friends and relatives in the UK and I get to see what they're up to, get to see photos of my family etc.

But yup, chicks love FB.
