Politicians have to think about what they are saying.

This is a normal post Have you tried it?
I find it very useful, and its definitely not pointless.

Religion is pointless.

This is a normal post Religion
gives many people a sense of purpose and the strength to get through hard times.

Football is pointless.

This is a normal post But to some, football is religion
and forms a very important part of social cohesion

Edit: also, the reason why some people are so against Twitter et al is that many view it as a passing wanky fad.

I haven't used it so will not comment.

You're supposed to say why football isn't pointless, then say that something else is pointless. You broke the chain.

Kerry Katona isn't... wait, I don't know who she is. But she's definitely not pointless.

Paedophilia is pointless.

This is a normal post No she really is pointless.
I was wondering how you would explain that she isn't!
 (I helped save b3ta! t0ria has forgotten how this all works, Wed 29 Jul 2009, 13:31, Reply)
This is a normal post I'll have to look her up.
Hang on... Right. She probably provides pleasure to teenage boys who are fans of large breasts and aren't very discriminating.

Now justify paedophilia.

This is a normal post Paedophilia isn't pointless
it gives people like Jonathan King something to do and keeps them off puerile digital arts message boards.

I give up!

This is a normal post Giving up is not pointless.
It's a simple acceptance that something cannot be achieved.

Danny Dyer is pointless.

its a a false sense of purpose, and how can it give you 'strength'?

This is a normal post yes, I've had it for months
only made 14 (actually no, 25 having just checked after not using it for ages)updates before I realised it was pointless, even with nearly 3000 followers (mainly due to me sharing my name with someone famous and everyone assumes we must be the same person) It's very self indulgent in more short and frequent terms than f/book and not really designed to do anything of use, other then update people on 'how you feel, what you're up to' which facebook does a bit better, and with added scrabble

This is a normal post I must disagree with you.
I closed my Facebook account a few months ago because of the terrible layout and the invasive nature of its content. Twitter allowed me to get updates from people i respect, priority news from comedians doing gigs, new releases from companies I like to buy from.

It really is not pointless.

This is a normal post it's good to disagree, opinions are like arseholes, everopne has one :)
I'm still of the opinion it's pointless though. ;)

but cheers :)

Look, please try to understand before one of us dies.

This is a normal post I agree with you, Pointless Camel
But I'm not a missionary, so won't say much more on the matter

(other than Twitter is what you make it: if you just talk about what you are having for dinner and that you are off to the beach, and follow similar people, yes, it is pointless. But using it like that isn't compulsory.)

This is a normal post we do understand,
but it's just as easy to sign up for updates to arrive in your inbox of people/companies you want to be kept up to date with.
You tend to get the relevant stuff and not the celebrity equivalent of 'I've bought new shoes'

This is a normal post David Cameron thinks twitter users are twats
...its ok, as I think he's a twat too. Another corrupt, sleazy politician who wont be getting my vote.

Ive been using twitter for a couple of years now, and in some ways I prefer it to Facebook.

I see information on twitter that I wouldn't find on facebook, mainly because facebook requires a reciprocating relationship between both parties. After failing to purchase twitter, FB changed the news feed to works to mimic the twitter real time stream. Just wait and see some of the new changes being implemented at FB shortly to compete with twitter, one of which will be public status messages.

Fair enough, there are some people who, no matter what type of broadcast medium they use still think other people want to know that they have having a turd or are wearing blue pants, but at least I'm not constantly invited to become a fan of 'breathing' or Anti Bacterial Hand Wash (Gel) by complete fucktards.

Facebook still fails as you are allowed to join a group that denies the holocaust, yet the display of nipples is banned.

This is a normal post Twitter, like blogs, is as shit as the people who use it.
As long as it's interesting people updating then there's no problem.
It's everyone else shouting at the darkness that makes it seem like wankery.

This is a normal post I use Twitter
and find it invaluable. I now tend to use it more than FB mainly because it's a different type of networking tool - for me, anyway. Twitter is all about work, FB is private and for mates.

And as others have said, you get out of it what you put in....

MySpace has proved invaluable for bands and musicians, Twitter is good for writers/publishers.
