Moan!

I just don't see the point of Twitter, and I really don't see the point of posting it to your LJ journal. It is like a one sided conversation taking place on your friends list. As annoying as someone using a moble phone within earshot. I had no idea of the context that the whole twitter is in.

Its fine if you use an lj-cut, that way I can just pass by.

I guess I just will not be twittering at all. No matter what celebs I might be able to be friended to. I've done the whole joining things because it is popular or because LJ has some issue. I joined MySpace, and used it for a week, got a greatest journal, which I deleted, but have heard it has gone down, and now have insane journal, which I never use. Unless something happens to LJ.

Never got a facebook, and don't intend to get a Twitter either. LJ is my home.

.................

I'm really looking forward to Sunday and the responses to the challenge. I think there will be some great reading/viewing. I do have an idea myself! Whoo Hoo! Thank You whomever, I can take part in my own challenge

...........

Went to bed early, so of course I'm up early. Why is it when the really good dreams get to the Really Really good bit, you wake up?

........
OMG, OMG, OMG! I let Ronnie borrow my "Good Omens". Scream! I'm without my book!

I had been raving to him about it, and left it on the couch, next to where he sat down. He picked it up, and had a glance through it. *Deep Breath*, it's ok. It is Ronnie, you have let him borrow books before and got them back just as you gave them to him. He always gives them back!

*Panics*

.......

Another Edit! Oh Ronnie and David watchng "You're Welcome" and "Fresh Blood". Well Ronnie loved them both, but David found "You're Welcome" too difficult to follow, and went off to the garage to get a quote. He asked when we were going to have something to eat, and came back five minutes before we did, missing both episodes.

He did recognise Spike in You're Welcome, but didn't remember his name! *head desk*

I heartily agree. I do not get the idea of posting twits to LJ. They are annoying me more and more as more of my friends are doing it. In fact one night a few weeks ago I wrote out an entry basically saying.... "filter me out of your twitter posts". And then didn't post it because I was afraid I'd come off sounding bitchy.

But I'm glad it's not just me.

[http://users.livejournal.com/woman_of_/]

I'm finding myself more and more annoyed with it! *sigh*. It is not as if anything posted interests me enough to even ask about it.

Then I also suspect it will be a fad, but an annoying one while it lasts!

Good that we are not alone!

As annoying as someone using a moble phone within earshot. I had no idea of the context that the whole twitter is in. I completely agree. I don't get the need for little popcorn communications of 145 words or whatever it is. Really, what is the point. Is it some sort of behavioural stimulus/response? Press a button and get a pellet of response from someone? Little addictive rewards that someone's paying attention though there's no real content to the communication, just a little reward buzz of attention.

[http://users.livejournal.com/woman_of_/]

I know. There is no substance to it at all. Just spamming little titbits of nothing out there, waiting for someone to react and give you a response. It just doesn't appeal to me at all!

[thebiggest-lie.livejournal.com]

I am completely with you on the twitter thing. I don't see the point, and it pisses me off when people continuously post it in their journal, like it is going to mean something to the rest of us.

LJ is my home as well. :D No myspace or facebook for me.

[http://users.livejournal.com/woman_of_/]

I know, and as more and more people use it, the more annoying those posts are! *sigh*

Nope I'm not going to be one joining at all! LJ all the way!

[kimalis.livejournal.com]

I love my LJs, they are top of my list.
I am really beginning to like my Facebook, not as much as LJ though.
I use Twitter but at the request of, and only for, one person.
But....I cannot see any point in posting the tweets to your LJ. They make no sense, they are very very short and ...well..they just make no sense.

Its bloody annoying to see on your flist and yeah, they are getting longer.

[http://users.livejournal.com/woman_of_/]

Oh yes, it is the longer ones that really bother me when I'm scrolling past. I'm beginning to think I'll never get to the end of them! I really don't mind if they are behind a cut, that is different!

I guess I'm just sticking to LJ myself!

[jude-91.livejournal.com]

Good Omens is such a good book!

[http://users.livejournal.com/woman_of_/]

It is a great favourite of mine, and one I reread often! *sigh* I miss it already!

[exuberantself.livejournal.com]

I don't get Twitter, I hate Facebook, MySpace hates me...if not for LJ, I might have to make friends with people I've actually met.

[http://users.livejournal.com/woman_of_/]

I know, and that would be sheer Hell!

[kazzy-cee.livejournal.com]

I agree about Twitter - thank goodness my flist are sensible enough to cut their twitterings!!

[http://users.livejournal.com/woman_of_/]

I wouldn't mind that. I can easily just scroll down and ignore. It is the ones who post a long list outside a cut!

[petzipellepingo.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I have about enough time for LJ - anything else is just shiny and new and I don't need more toys in my life.

[http://users.livejournal.com/woman_of_/]

Very much agreed!

[jaded-jamie.livejournal.com]

I have Twitter and I NEVER post my twitter to LJ!

They are both different entities altogether and should not be put together.

It's insane!

And a few of my flist have started doing it now and it is driving me insane. I hate it. It's so pointless and if I am following them on Twitter anyway why do I need to read it twice?

And if I am not following them on Twitter it's cos I don't bloody want to!

*ug!*

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

Applauds Jamie!

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

Never got a facebook, and don't intend to get a Twitter either. LJ is my home.

You and me both.

[http://users.livejournal.com/woman_of_/]

Yes, LJ takes up enough of my time!

[ficbitca-bear.livejournal.com]

I absolutely agree about Twitter, even though I've got one. Same with Facebook.

[http://users.livejournal.com/woman_of_/]

I'm sure it is fun for the people on it, but when they post them on LJ, without a cut, it just makes no sense!

[babycin.livejournal.com]

I have a facebook account but seriously, it's nothing great. I took a loot at Twitter but I don't like it and I don't understand his meaning *.*

[http://users.livejournal.com/woman_of_/]

I didn't even open a Facebook account. I had a look, but it just didn't seem to be for me. I haven't even looked at Twitter, but from what I've seen, it is totally not for me!

[kros-21.livejournal.com]

honestly?
I hate Twitter so much!
and I skip all the entrys in LJ that are made with that... because honestly? what am I supposed to reply to it? O_o

[http://users.livejournal.com/woman_of_/]

So do I! I don't mind if they are behind a cut, but a great big long list of them has me gnashing my teeth as I scroll past!

They are meaningless!

[kudagirl.livejournal.com]

I tried My Space because edenskye wanted me to, but it bored me to tears. I canceled it. I have a profile on Flixster, but it drives me crazy. It freezes and I get messages from strange men and women wanting to hook up. It's a movie review site and not a dating site. I seldom even check it for messages anymore. It has lots of trolls and freezes up too often. Several of my friends there are on LJ so I just talk to them here now instead. Twitter and facebook don't even interest me.

I loved the episode of "You're Welcome". The scene in the hallway between Cordy, Angel and Spike was awesome. I love when actors show up on other shows like Mercedes McNab did on "Fresh Blood". edenskye and I are always seeing an actor we know and trying to figure out what show we know them from. Lots of BTVS/ATS actors are on Supernatural and other shows. Saw Adam Baldwin on Bones DVD last week and squealed.

I guard my books like crazy and hate to lend them out. Their like my babies and I don't like to share. I still need to find a copy of "Good Omens" to read. *Puts that on list to find on Amazon*

[http://users.livejournal.com/woman_of_/]

Oh MySpace was a no hoper for me. I just got so bored as well. I did find a Buffy community, it was like a messageboard, but it was pretty dead!


Yes, after watching You're Welcome I waited to see if Ronnie would recognise Mercedes McNab on Fresh Blood. He didn't say anything, so I pointed it out to him.

I usually guard my books as well, but Ronnie is pretty trustworthy. It is just it is a favourite child!

[fabilimah.livejournal.com]

I have Twitter account but I've never got in it because I don't know how to use it and what for?
:P
Seriously, so why do I have an account???
My friend asked to do a test for her so I created my account just because of that lol

[http://users.livejournal.com/woman_of_/]

I find the posts on lj with people transferring the information puts me off! I just don't see the point of it, the people I want to talk to are on LJ anyway.

[shannon730.livejournal.com]

twitter is not supposed to have the big conversations that it has at times. It's meant to be only short sentences of what you're doing right now. I have an acccunt but only use it if I'm away from home for too long. or extremely bored because I can do twitter from my phone.,

[http://users.livejournal.com/woman_of_/]

I find the posts on LJ put me off a lot! And are annoying because I just don't know what they are talking about!

I guess I will stick to LJ.

[sophisti-girl.livejournal.com]

LOL! I find it hysterical that on my flist right under your post about the absurdity of Twitter there is a post from somebody showing their tweets. I really don't get the Twitter phenomenon.

[http://users.livejournal.com/woman_of_/]

Perfect illustration of what I mean! LOL!

From what I can see, even if you are on it, unless you are all friended to the same people, you still would have no idea what they are talking about!

*shrugs*

[yourlibrarian]

People are posting their Twitter posts to LJ? Why? I don't blame you for being annoyed.

I just had a friend ask me to join Twitter but I turned her down. I don't have time for something like that. I already have plenty to keep up with at LJ/IJ, and Twitter is so content-free.

[http://users.livejournal.com/woman_of_/]

Oh yes, my flist is getting worse with it! I don't mind if it is behind a cut, so I don't see it! I have no idea why they do it at all.

It is totally content, and when posted to LJ, context free.
