Twitter? Oh FFS.
BootBlock | 20 February, 2009
Twitter is a stupid fad of little worth used by people who think they’re intellectually above everybody else but have an overwhelming urge to let those loser everybodies know how much their morning dump weighs mere moments after it came dribbling out of their flap. They’re fad-driven arseholes and I hate them.
I signed up for a Twitter account about ten minutes ago.
Woah! Wait! There’s a reason. Plugin development.
I’m working on something called FluidBar that utilises plugins, and one of those plugins – as much as it pains me – is a Twitter plugin. As I ranted above, yes, I think Twitter is a waste of time. But, feed-driven updates work well with FluidBar, so I’m going to put it in there, and this requires me having an account.
I’ve signed up but I can’t work out how the hell to post a “tweet”. I notice there’s a prominent Delete My Account link at the bottom of each page, but no links for actually posting something. Maybe that’s the most-clicked link and they’re just putting it in an easily accessible location?
Anyway, whatever.
I’ve placed a link to my Twatter thing below should you honestly give a crap what some idiot on the internet rants about, but be aware that it’ll contain rants and swearing, along with programming “updates” that at least give the impression that I’m using the “service” for its intended… intention. But remember that it’s primarily for test entries that I can enumerate through – not some thing where I absolutely must let everyone know about the inane shite I’m doing every second of the day.
Now I just need to sign up for a Flickr account and I’ll be a fully certified wanker. Which I’m not going to do. Ha.
Edit: I’m thinking of removing the link to my Twitter thing; I’m not sure I want to be associated with the whole “thing” of it.
Edit 2: I’m not currently working on the plugin right at this moment, so I’m done with Twitter for the time being. The people who are having full-blown conversations via It are making me sick. I’ve removed the link from the menu on the right and from below. Hah!
View: – removed –





I agree whole heartedly.
I’m stalking you, matey boy
Noo, you can’t do that after I’ve just stopped using it!
