Even the hip-hop artist MC Hammer, who arrived to present some awards, couldn't quiet the crowd down.
Please Hammer don't quiet the crowd down.

Twitter is a fucking joke. I have friends who have it set up to send their feed to a livejournal post. WTF? So I get pages full of shit like
@fred lol I know its great isnt it?I hate it when someone pees on a tram@sheila you know it baby
And other such crap that MAKES NO SENSE OUT OF CONTEXT. Its like hearing half a conversation when some yapface is on their cellphone on the train. NOBODY CARES THAT YOU JUST ATE A FALAFEL THAT WAS A BIT ORDINARY.
Why do people feel the need to spew every tinym irrelevant ramble out into the universe?
Thats what mad homeless people do.

Yeah, I am genuinely unable to wrap my head around Twitter. Like, what sort of role does it play in people's lives? I guess I'm happy that these people no longer have a Twitter-shaped hole in their hearts, but... damn.

Twitter is fine in isolation however people who link Twitter to Facebook LJ et al should be rogered as above
― Objective Deployment Component for Failure Mode Effect Analysis (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 13 February 2009 02:58 (fifteen years ago) link
I suppose in it's own setting it makes about as much sense as AIM or MSN. But yeah why feed it out elsewhere? Especially to blogs.
I'm just more depressed that people can't be bothered to write thoughtful coherent peices of writing any more. You do so and get tl;dr. The next generation are going to be brain-damaged monkeys who cant focus for longer than 10 seconds.
Sorry... seem to have caught a serious case of old, today.

I do mean triple! I didn't feel like correcting it.
I usually give them one listen. If I REALLY like something, I'll listen to it again to make sure I'm not tripping balls before I gush on it.

"Like, what sort of role does it play in people's lives? "

Hello, I'm Nathalie a twitaholic.
Srsly just something mindless if I have ten min to lose.

Lack of desktop/phone push clients would be the most obvious thing; that and the fact nobody's really jumped on the bandwagon ;)
Whiney: I've just remembered that I favourited a couple of your posts because they were things I wanted to check out ... Weird Owl, Mountains, These Are Powers and Emeralds. Should start to check some of those out.
Anyway. Witterings and swearing: https://twitter.com/weesimon

twitter makes sense when i'm drunk and on public transportation at the end of the night, wanting to catalog the weirdos around me (or in my head). i've only ever sent from text though because every time i encounter the WHAT ARE YOU DOING RIGHT NOW? screen at the computer all i can think is i am sitting at a computer, reading, and isn't that fascinating
