Twitter

Everyone seems to have Twitter these days. I still don't have an account, but is it time I gave in and signed one up? Perhaps I could start a Scirra twitter account and post updates. But even then, the whole point of it seems to elude me. What do you think?

when a site can barely explain its purpose i dont think its a good idea.

Running late to a meeting? Your co�workers might find that useful.

Partying? Your friends may want to join you.

Twitter seems more like a frequent-updates kind of thing. Like, multiple times per day.

New builds and status reports for Construct aren't all that frequent. I think posting on the front page and making announcement threads is sufficient. Maybe email notification, as was mentioned in another thread.

At any rate I don't have a Twitter account and I don't plan on getting one.

Until now I've never heard of Twitter. If I were you, I wouldn't make myself more work with giving reports of work ^^. There's nothing to gain with this, all the info you give here is sufficent.

Twitter's utterly superfluous and useless.

I don't like twitter either. Maybe i'm getting too old for the internet as I don't like myspace or facebook also. The latest internet application I bother with are php forums like this one.

Twitter, where twits tweet.

Hey look I made a rhyme.

i think you meant *where*

on topic: Meh, i have an account, but i never use it. It's alright i geuss, but it's more of a massively linked IM more than anything else (Which is what it's supposed to be... i think... )

Twitter is like leaving your house with a megaphone and loudly announcing that you are about to to fry some eggs with bacon to the whole street, then going back inside to do just that.

"Well..., it's not going to happen to me"

I would say you should link from twitter for the positioning purpose. And besides twitter news can be displayed on your own website.
