We be twits!

We be twits!

Everyone who uses Twitter is a twit: it's right in the name.

Been spending a bit more time on there lately, attached my "main" account to my Kindle:

Was wondering if any of you were also twits.

Before following, a disclaimer:
· I don't tweet about Unreal/UT very often.
· I periodically tweet to those in the Adult Industry.
· I really don't like the Trump Administration.

If you do follow, let me know who you are and what forum you're from.

I don't tweet. I don't think it is bad but it has just never been for me. I just don't get it yet I guess.

I am there with you Herm. Twitter, snapchat and who knows what else. I do not use them or even know how to use them or have the desire to learn to use them. Just me. I think I can survive without it.

Twitter is full of people that don't understand twitter.
It is basically a newsfeed for some, and a chat platform for others.

Ywitter is what YOU make it do.
I follow servers and game projects that post the current status.
I follow the bands, artists and poets I like, so I can keep up with the new stuff in the world I like, but without putting in any effort to go and find it.
I follow security and tech profiles, so I see important security problems as they are being reported.

If you gauge twitter by the media focus on idiots that rant all the time, then you miss the point.
Don't follow idiots, and you don't see idiot posts.
Follow useful projects, and you see useful and relevant info.

You can search twitter with filters and keywords, for such things as #UT99 and find people asking questions or posting cool stuff.

Note: all modern servers and clans use twitter to post notifications. This means those that follow and those that search for their interests are quickly up to date.
It also means that when a site or server in down, that the players have an alternative way to find out what is going on, and to contact the admin.
Relying on the contact details that are on a site that is down means no contact.
As a site or server admin, you don't even need to follow anyone or ever look at twitter. All you do is post your events and status updates and walk away.

Fear or disgust of the unknown is not useful if you are the one covering your own eyes.

For me, I do not fear nor do I disgust Twitter or other social media, it is just something that is not needed in my life. For those who use social media in a responsible way, it can be beneficial and a good source of communication.

I mostly use it for news, roleplay, and making people giggle.
