What's the story with whole celebrity promotion of twitter. Why has this site become such a high profile communication tool, given that things like myspace and facebook already existed. Even organisations like BBC and CNN have started to promote it. Can anyone explain why should it have taken such a market share so quickly.

I've no idea. I think its absolute shite.
I personally think there is more to this twitter lark than any of us are aware of..... Bit of a conspiracy type theory I know, but why else would these huge news organisations and these global celebrities be encouraging people to use it. Understandable yes if you are just talking about the odd celebrity being paid to endorse it, but huge companies... what's in it for them?
Murdoch said last week he was interested in it. Might be a link.
I dont know all that much about it but one of the lads from work was let go a few weeks back. So he is gone of to the US on holidays to get over it, we all keep an eye on this twitter page and in fairness I can see the appeal of it. Sure everything the lad does he twitters on about it, sure its mad really :D

Na, the popularity of Twitter took off when Stephen Fry said he was a fan of it last year. More and more celebrities joined and with that, more people joined to follow them. Sites such as BBC and CNN then saw it as a great place to promote various parts of their website and television programming.
It will get to the point, not in the too far future I predict, that it will become too popular and 13/14 years old start using it. Until then, I find it useful to track web development articles and tips on Apple.
Eh? I was suggesting there might be a link somewhere online to that story!
Urban legend has it that Fry banned you from viewing his. Is that true?

a) Oops, sorry.
b) Yep. Apparently I'm the only person he banned. Don't know what I did on him.
Twitter first came to mass public attention when a passenger onboard a (crashed/damaged/hostage situation whatever it was) plane in the states used his mobile phone to "twitter" on the conditions inside during the crisis. This helped authorities to keep up to date with the current events at the time. The story was then broadcast internationally.
Long before Stephen Fry boarded that particular band wagon
Would the passenger have caused the aeroplane trouble in the first place by twittering to all and sundry that she was on a plane during the flight. I am going to keep away from twitter because you will get yahoos twittering about every nuance that happens to them in the day, I used to like facebook till you see some of my mates changing their profile every 20 minutes posting on my walls and basically filling up my page with shit. I meet some of them these days down in the pub and I can see them logging in on phone, I dont like them any more..........f**king eejits!

There's a lot of misconception about Twitter out there. You only receive updates from people or institutions you want. For example, I keep an eye on Guardianmedia, BBCNI, Lance Armstrong, Gerry Adams, NINewspapers, SF and Arseblog.
I only signed up to it this week, was on yesterday evening and somehow landed on Mariah Carey's page, no idea how I got there probably from some other fecking celebrity page and I saw she had 999947 twits as friends and so I waited my chance and saw the clock going up and seizing my moment became her 1 millionth twit or whatever the feck you call it.
So I sent her a message explaining my millionth twitter predicament and how great it was for her to finally have a friend in the real non celebrity world, I said I knew feck all about her music career, but that she probably knew feck all about Kerry football either so we would have loads to twitter about.
She never replied.
I sent her a second twitter explaining I had just downloaded a few of her free songs from limewire, jaysus they were looking for money on iTunes, and told her that she might have some potential as a singer but not to give up her day job as a page 3 model just yet. The Music business is a rough auld place to be.
Surprisingly she did not reply either.
My 3rd twitter asked for a few free tickets if she ever makes a concert over these part as my prize or even an auld CD and I promised to introduce her to the O'Se brothers too.
She did not reply to me again.
Last time I am going to be Twittering that Carey one, who the f**k does she think she is not replying to me, so I told her to twit off and removed myself as her twit friend.
Jaysus that was funny.
Feck it anyway, I should have played along and kept twittering to her as me best twit friend, looks like someone else got a prize for being her 1 millionith twit.
QuoteCongratulations @amymcnulty13 for being Mariah's MILLIONTH FOLLOWER! The lucky #1,000,000 will b getting a prize courtesy of MariahCarey.com
I was going to appeal her decision to the DRA but Amy McNulty13 & Mariah Carey are welcome to each other, fecking slappers the lot of them.
Kerry mike that was powerful shtuff.
Twitter:To Quote Mark Corrigan (Peep Show) - 'Is this what my grandfather died for?'
I see it as another example of modern society's obsession with celebrity at the expense of any sort of social or political awareness. To see the beeb and broadsheet newspapers print celebrity 'tweets' makes my blood boil.
Oh look, Ashton Kutcher just took a pic of his womans arse. Lets see what insights Andy Murray has on the current war in Afghanistan, or perhaps even some insight into his pre-wimbeldon preparations..... oh, hes splicing up tennis player names with food. He make a joke!
The world is doomed ;)
Funny stuff KerryMike :D
So I see you can register your mobile, and each time the person you are following 'tweets', you get their message in text format to your phone.
Now for the likes of Mariah Carey, if each of her 1 million followers has registered a mobile, do each of them receive a text each time she tweets? If so, who the feck pays for that?!
I know feck all about this twiter thing but I enjoyed the Kerry meets Carey posts.
Maybe we should all follow Carey and why her why she is ignoring KerryMike! :D

Not sure never get phone updates.
But possibly: each message/twit/tweet can only be 140 characters and a text message can hold 160 characters so that would leave up to 20 characters for advertising.

My sentiments exactly..... and I feel there is far more to this than meets the eye.
Maybe when Mariah Carey becomes Vice President to Sarah Palin and they make Kerry Mike Secretary of State for Communication, Kerry Mike will be able to let us know exactly what the whole tweeting business is about.
KerryMike is she one of the famous Patrickswell Careys or is she from beyond in Gowran?

When someone calls a person from the north a Nordie, they are implying the term 'them ones up there', with the suggestion that Southerners are superior beings and in fact a different breed entirely.
However very few people find the term Nordie offensive.
Most northerners actually find it humorous that 'Southerners' think it is a victory for them to call a person from the north a Nordie.
Let them have their little win, I say, for if that is what a person classes' a success then moments of a triumphant nature may are likely to be few and far between for this individual.

I'm not on any social network, so on Twitter I would just want to follow people rather than post. I would also like to remain as private as possible, with little or nobody knowing i'm on it (don't want to get roped into this social networking malarky). Has anyone got any tips?

*taps side of nose*
Big Sam is the funniest thing on Twitter, possibly even the whole Intenet. Some of his highlights:
About the Leicester match:
Just saw a dead fox by the side of the road. Can't help but feel it was a rather foreboding sign of things to come for Leicester tomorrow.
I stopped in a lay-by, lifted the corpse of the beast high above my head and screamed with an almost paranormal intensity.
"I am Big Sam," I roared. "And this is what awaits you, you sly c**ts."
I tried to tear the beast apart with my own hands but rigor mortis had set in. It was as stiff as a c**k nestled inside an attractive fanny.
So I just threw it at the windscreen of a passing Fiat Cinquecento. Any c**t that drives that abomination deserves roadkill launched at him.
About the Brighton match:
In the dressing room. John Carew has just put his long, slender hand in the air. "Is it true that this Brighton place is full of the gays?"
"It is true, son" replied a scheming Big Sam. "And if you don't score tonight, son, they're all gonna bum you into retirement."
Hat-trick guaranteed.
2 hours later...
Job done. Big Sam has once again straddled the magnificent steed of tactical bravery and rode it majestically into the sunset of victory.
Random one:
Doing the Haka in front of the wife. She's f**king terrified. My c**k looks so silly flopping about all over the place.
Training pitch:
Ran onto the training field this morning where the lads were gathered and launched straight into 'Wonderful World' by Sam Cooke.
Eventually a confused-looking Carlton Cole said: "What you doing, boss?" So I took my belt off and beat him around the head & neck with it.
I carried on with my rendition of a genuine soul classic before Robert Green put up his hand and whispered: "Is this real? I'm scared."
I took his sweet, simple head in my hands and kneed him repeatedly in the face until he became limp and lifeless. Then I carried on singing.
Before too long, the entire squad was crying and shaking - but singing along to 'Wonderful World' with their master, in perfect harmony.
There's not a f**king chance these c**ts will lose this weekend. I'm moulding f**king machines here. Big Sam innovates like a motherfucker.
But then I remembered we don't play until Monday night, so I just sent the entire squad home to recuperate. They were in absolute bits.
As I watched them crawl off the pitch, though, I knew I'd instilled a fire in them that has long been burning inside me. A hunger. A desire.
Big Sam grabs the very essence of 'mind games' by the hips, and fucks it deep in its quivering arse.
About Karen Brady:
Had a meeting with Karren Brady today. She kept shuffling around in her seat. Eventually she said: "Ever had a big thumb up your arse?"
"Does my sexuality make you uncomfortable, Big Sam?" she purred, before plunging a big dildo into a sachet of 'Dip Dab' and sucking it off.
Big Sam is a confident and aggressive sexual combatant, but I won't lie - this woman f**king terrifies me.
I've passed her office three times now and seen her sucking her own tits. I've never known such a voracious appetite for self-gratification.
Papa Bouba Diop:
If there's anyone who can manufacture more beautiful sounds from a lute than Papa Bouba Diop, I'd like to meet them. Just sensational.
He played 'Green Sleeves' for me the other day, his foot perched upon an old stone like some ancient storyteller. A truly incredible moment.
I began to cry. I blamed it on the Libyan crisis but big Papa knew. He knew it was his sweet, sweet melodies pulling at Big Sam's emotions.
He brushed my cheeky gently and whispered something in French. I don't even want to Babel Fish the meaning. I want the mystery to remain.
Once he finished playing the lute, he ran onto the pitch, shouted "mark up!" and smashed Mark Noble round the head with it. Outstanding.
Home and Away:
I'm trying to keep my cool here, but I'm watching 'Home and Away' and the amount of trouble those River Boys cause makes me f**king sick.
Big Sam was in a gang back in his youth - The Dudley Death Deliverers - and, yeah, we were pretty roguish. But we had a code. We had honour.
Apart from that time we kidnapped that baker. He had it coming though. Him and his shit buns.
I feel sick to my corrugated stomach watching 'Home and Away' recently. This gang warfare is going to tear Summer Bay apart. Mark my words.
Sami X Factor:
Big Sami is on X Factor now, she's a big unit. She could do a job for me on corners.
Home and Away Part 2:
Another day, another furious bout of scurrying across the Internet, checking the ages of girls from 'Home and Away'.
She's 20. Get. The. f**k. In. Operation: Bigsamthinkseroticthoughtsaboutacheekylittleantipodeanprincess can commence.
Bristol City:
"Bristol Cities - Big Fat Titties". I wrote that little poem at half-time tonight. Short, hilarious, provocative and sublime.
Unfortunately, it proved to be the single glittering highlight of an otherwise spunk-drenched, w**k-rag of a game.
Was there any late goals? I stopped paying attention by the 75th minute. I was too busy seeing if I could eek out a secret flaccid w**k.
By the way, I thoroughly recommend flaccid w**ks. I patented the idea in January 1997 and I've never looked back. They are extraordinary.
Granted, it takes Big Sam-levels of mind control to achieve orgasm during a flaccid w**k, but what is a man if he dare not dream? f**k all.
Just imagine squeezing a big wallop of toothpaste out of its tube really slowly. But with the sure-footed assurance of a mountain lion.
Now imagine the tube is attached to your balls and as the last dollop of paste plops onto the floor, your body is quivering with ecstasy.
That, my friends, is the unending, endorphin-spanking magnificence of the Big Sam Flaccid w**k.
Mortal Kombat:
One of the 'Mortal Kombat' films is on TV. I'm the f**king master of that game. Once beat Emma Forbes 27 times in a row. She had no answer.
She got all stroppy about her humiliation, so Big Sam switched off the SNES, laid her down by the fire and made love to her until she cried.
I should point out - her tears were a result of the tenderness and sheer magnificence of my intercourse. Not terror. Full consent was given.
Before she reached climax, I hilariously roared "finished her!" Then once I'd done the same, I stood up and declared: "Big Sam.. wins!"
In all honestly, though, I don't think she got the references. Which kind of made my record 27 victories feel a little bit hollow.
f**king hell, there's a woman in this film with four arms and a cracking pair of tits. That's just magic in anyone's language.
How she has time to get into fights is beyond me. If I had four arms & great tits, I'd be at home in front of a mirror. Destroying myself.
About the wife:
A few bottles of Brooklyn Brewery Summer Ale, 11 Wagon Wheels, my Medisana Comfort Footspa and Warren G's 'Regulate...G Funk Era'. Bliss.
The wife has just interrupted my chillaxing by coming into the room uninvited, pointing at her minge and saying "fill her up, guvnor".
If she thinks I'm getting out of this bean bag to go anywhere near that f**king thing, she's even thicker than she looks.
Millwall Preparation:
Big Sam is ready. Ready for Millwall. Ready to take the Lion by the minge and finger it into submission. By Christ, Big Sam is ready.
How am I motivating 'em? By standing in the centre of the room - topless - punching a slab of beef that's hung from the ceiling. That's how.
Fergie's 25th anniversary dinner:
What a night celebrating Sir Alex's 25 years as king of football. And talk about pussy. I'm still wiping the fanny batter off my cufflinks.
Dancing with Sir Alex, Mike Phelan and Terry Christian to 'Intergalactic' by the Beastie Boys is a memory I'll take to my grave. Joyous.
At the end of the night, Sir Alex & I dressed up as the Snowman & the boy as we glided through the air to the sound of 'Walking In The Air'.
It was all done by strings and harnesses, of course, but the effect was undoubtedly magical. I had a smile as wide as a queer's cravat.
Sir Alex is my mentor. My guide. My lighthouse. But on this occasion he let me take the lead as the Snowman. That's the calibre of the guy.
As we landed on the ground we embraced. Sir Alex looked into my eyes and said softly: "The sun will never melt you away from my life."
Usually I'm nervous when the word "melt" is uttered in front of Simon Weston, but Westy was busy spit-roasting some slag with Roger Daltrey.
Fave moment? When Sir Alex & I stole five minutes away from the rest, locked ourselves in a cupboard and felt like the only people on earth.
It was like that bit when Teen Wolf and Boof were in that wardrobe at that kick-ass party and get all intimate and close and shit.
Although, Teen Wolf got a bit pushy in the wardrobe and was a bit too rough with Boof. I can't stress enough that Sir Alex is a gentlemen.
Perhaps the gentlest gentleman who ever lived. Christ, I know he hates when I get all gooey, but what's Big Sam meant to say? He's my rock.
The Wife again:
The wife just says to me: "Hey Sammy, guess what song I've got in my head?"
Quick as a wheelchair down a ramp, I reply: "Is it 'When's My Dinner Ready?' by The Getbackinthefuckingkitchens?"
Big Sam 1-0 International Women's Day.
Neighbour:
"Here, Big Sam," my neighbour shouted with a muffled giggle over the garden fence. "You fancy the Egypt job now it's available?"
"No," I replied with a steely glare. "I f**king hate Africans. Don't you?"
Straight away I'd turned the tables & put him on the back foot. He shuffled and mumbled "I guess so... I mean, I guess I don't trust them.."
"I'm only messing," I interjected. "They're a marvellous people. Full of joy & courage. Surprised at you though, Ray. Bit of a racist?"
He tried to be smart & I exposed him for the disgrace he is. I left in triumph, leaving him caught up in a wreckage of shame & humiliation.
Random ones:
I'd like to see Fabio, Valencia & Nani line up in a defensive wall. It'd be like looking at the different stages of Michael Jackson's life.
Just hearing about Tevez. Can you imagine if he'd tried that shit on Big Sam? He'd be getting sexually abused in the showers right now.
I love swaggering nakedly towards the wife, singing that 'Here Come The Girls' tune, but changing the lyrics to 'Here Come My Balls'.
Robin Hood took from the rich and gave to the poor of Nottingham. Big Sam just looted the entire f**king town. Shagged it to f**king bits.
Look at Johnny in the 'X Factor' now. Rocking out like a right rascal. He's such a great role model. AIDS doesn't mean the end, people.
Noel Edmonds once offered me a Volvo 440 in exchange for a suck on the wife's tits. The man is scum. The car only lasted me a f**king week.
Callum McNaughton:
Disgusted with the lads. Pushed them into the showers & made them watch Wally Downes w**k himself off with a milk bottle. That'll learn 'em.
"Maybe it's me," I muttered to myself. "Maybe Big Sam just isn't good enough."
Then I saw Callum McNaughton taking a piss and thought, "Nah, it's that c**t's fault".
I launched at McNaughton like a mardy mountain cat, scratching at the back of his big ginger head and enveloping him in terror.
I wanted to hurt him. I grabbed his c**k and yanked it with all my might. "Get off my dick, boss!" he squealed. "f**k off!," I roared back.
"This is totally inappropriate!" he whimpered. tears forming in his panicked, bewildered eyes. "I have rights!"
"You have the right to pain!" retorted a magnificent Big Sam, as I dropped his dreadful c**k & ripped off a clutch of pathetic ginger pubes.
I left him weeping in the urinal, crushed and battered. He's just a boy but he needs to learn that Big Sam is whirling windmill of terror.
I won't hold grudges, though. I'll bring him in some of my lemon torte tomorrow, cuddle him and make him feel ten foot tall. Psychology.
After training:
Look, I'm not a pervert or a poofter or whatever, but I really do love watching the lads take a shower after a hard training session.
Watching the soapy suds trickle down those heavenly bodies like rivers on a map is just so relaxing.
It's like watching a lava lamp.
I try not to look at the genitalia - of course I do - but Big Sam is a curious being. I bloody love nature too
One thing I have learned, however, is you don't look at Papa Bouba Diop's penis. It looks at you.
Setting the managerial pace:
In times of duress, few things relax me as well as a buzz about on this electric wheelchair and the second Meat Puppets album on vinyl.
Singing 'Oh, Me' in a Stephen Hawking-style voice is one of life's simple pleasures. Doesn't erase the pain of defeat but it's still fun.
Might give the wife a good loafing while sat in my wheelchair. She has to wait a few seconds between each penetration, but it's so worth it.
Oh, who am I kidding, I'm f**king angry. Pretending to be a sophisticated cripple & tearing into the wife's cavernous muff won't cure that.
I'm going to poison a member of my useless squad tomorrow. Haven't decided who, but I'm totally serious. I'm gonna poison one of the plum.
Mancini meekly says Tevez won't play again after refusing to come on as a sub. Big Sam murders one of his lads after a last-minute defeat.
Big Sam, yet again, setting the managerial pace.
Hull City:
Leaving Hull with three points. The three points is a bonus - the fact I'm leaving this f**king place all that matters. Good lord.
It's impossible for words to describe what is necessary to those who do not know what horror means. Horror... horror has a face.
And that face is Hull city centre.
I hear the whores are good up here, though. I won't hear a bad word against any town with a nice, fluid supply of top-notch whores.
I aurally think the Big Sam is hit and miss.

Yesterday I told him 'Hi John, just up. Had a shower and now eating Cheerios in my boxers. What you doing?'. Now, that doesn't ask for much like. I didn't ask him something personal or for money etc. He NEVER replied. Stuck up bastard.
Demi Moore is another. I asked her about Ghost and if she thinks Patrick Swayze is watching her right now or even in the bed at night etc. No reply. Only once did someone reply. I asked Cheryl Cole if she thought Kant's ideas on utilitarianism were outdated and in fact insulting to modern society. She replied 'no'. Fair play to her.

Brilliant as usual Olly.
Indeed. Excellent.
Olly's humour reminds me of what the likes of Curb our Enthusiasm and Ricky Gervais are trying to do. The difference is, those people (who get paid for it) simply play out the same scenario over and over in different situations and forget the main point of humour - it's supposed to make you laugh. Or at least smile.
Olly never repeats himself. And the crucial difference - he's funny.

Richard Bacon had a programme on BBC3 last night called The Antisocial Network - about how "trolls" leave messages on social networks for people - bullying people, leaving nasty messages on sites that have been setup to remember the recently desceased, etc...
It's very hard to understand what motivates people - found it quite an interesting programme. Bacon himself (and his wife) have been trolled by someone and the programme tracks his quest to find out who his troll is.

Yes, they said just 2 convictions using a communications act from 2003 (I think).
They confronted one of the people who was convicted when they caught up with him on the street and another one agreed to do an interview and then lied through his teeth in the interview - as you might suspect neither of them seemed like the type who would say to your face what they were prepared to write online.

I remember around the time of Michaela Harte's death, Tyrone GAA setup a Facebook Page in her honour. It was being trolled non-stop for a few days. I was continuously emailing them about it and they kept removing the comments. Eventually they closed the Page down and created one on the actual TyroneGAA.ie website.
It was disgusting to read.

They have been doing this type of thing for a year or two now, as shown on BBC documentary on Impartial Reporter behind scenes during G8 - where it was dull as dishwater with no real response online. You may be giving them a little too much credit, though they are thanking their followers and readers for making it an online hit.

http://www.rte.ie/centuryireland/articles/southern-unionists-appeal-to-king-george-v (http://www.rte.ie/centuryireland/articles/southern-unionists-appeal-to-king-george-v)
Published: 13 May 1914
Southern Irish unionists have warned the British government that there will be civil war in Ireland if the Home Rule Bill is signed into law and that it will result in ruinous consequences for the nation.
The warning came as the Irish Unionist Alliance petitioned King George V 'on behalf of Irishmen of all creeds and classes, your Majesty's subjects in the provinces of Leinster, Munster and Connaught'. Led by its president, Lord Barrymore, the Irish Unionist Alliance has called for a general election as an immediate priority.
The Alliance is drawn from southern unionists and stated that the idea of Home Rule is 'abhorrent, not only to the people of Ulster, but to the great numbers in the Southern provinces, for whom we speak'.
A resolution, dated 17 April 1914, from the Co. Clare Unionist Club stating that when the Home Rule Bill is passed Unionists will be attacked. It calls for a military garrison to be established in the county for their protection. Click on the image to enlarge. (Image: National Archives of Ireland, CSO RP 1914/6618)
The petition continued: 'We are convinced that the present Bill, if forced upon us, can never prove the foundation of such a settlement as your Majesty ardently desires, but that, on the contrary, it will produce a rankling sense of injustice which will create bitter animosity and entail grave difficulties for the Empire in the future.'
As well as Lord Barrymore, leading members of the aristocracy such as the Earl of Rosse in King's County and Lord Inchiquin in Co. Clare have signed the petition.
Branches of the Alliance are active in at least 30 centres across the provinces of Munster, Leinster and Connaught.
In the petition to the King, they conclude, 'speaking with intimate knowledge of their county', they have the 'gravest reason to apprehend that on the outbreak of civil war the lives and property of many of Your Majesty's subjects dwelling in isolated parts of Ireland will be exposed to the greatest danger'.

sends you a notification every time they post a tweet or retweet something else

Handy when following match scores on a team's Twitter page, but you need to remember to turn off the notifications after the match or you will be polluted.
Twitter still knocking about. Nothing really challenged it?

That's the only thing I use Twitter for. Must try that bell option though. Sounds handy.

Fell across his comments. Seriously thought it was a WUM. You'd have to feel sorry for such an individual.
Dunno whether he is losing it or if he's fond of the good stuff but a lot of incoherent ramblings.
Why is twitter so popular? I use it for scores in games. Nothing else
Good for breaking news, tid bits, anecdotes that don't make the news etc. Ewan McKennas musings on the pandemic are worth setting up an account alone.
There is alot of crap though, with alot of traffic being directed towards posts on the extreme of political ideologies.
Ewan needs to lay of the drunken tweeting, see that one at Marty Morrissey last night wtf was that about??

RTE brought back The Den as part of Comic Relief.
Niall Horan sang a song as part of Talent on the Telly. They cut the end of the video short and Dustin had a cut off him saying they wanted Harry Styles instead.
Niall Horan fan accounts are now trying to get Ray D'Arcy and Dustin boycotted and cancelled having missed the fact it was a comedy skit for charity as most seem to be American. They need to get a life
Jesus wept ;D ;D
I saw Dustin had a tweet about one of the Kardashians this evening, presumably they will miss the humour in that too.
I'll happily admit I don't understand the world anymore.

I like twitter, I don't like the rush to get whoever sacked for something that emerges they done about 15 years ago that seems to be prevalent on the platform though.

This creates it's own problems tho, especially if you're following politics or big issues, you're only getting echo chamber viewpoints. Labour and the UK General Election last year being the prime example of operating in a bubble. I follow gobshites on purpose to get a differing and wider view of things - especially uk politics.

Would do that a bit myself a few right wingers in the UK and a couple of nuts in the US a good bit but they are mostly mental.
I find it mad the echo chambers these things are though. For example I watched a film called "The Personal History of David Copperfield" because I mostly like Ianucci's stuff and the comments on twitter were very complimentary.
I loved the film but noticed the rating on imdb was quite poor (6.3)and then I went into the comments . . .
QuoteOne of Dickens greatest comedy-dramas cheapened into a ridiculous slapstic comedy with an unrealistic PC cast that makes no sense in Victorian England.
QuoteFor me movies are about:
Believability and Escapism
The movie utterly fails on this regard with the over colourised casting of ethnic minority members #replacing what originally should've been a European White cast, being in the mid 1800s the story is set in.
QuoteFor example, having an Indian David Copperfield born to a white woman, Mr Wickfield being Asian and his daughter Agnes being black, as well as the white Steerforth's Mother being played by a black actress. There are also many other examples in the film. This colourlind casting is very distracting.

Looks like Elon Musk will get Twitter
https://www.cnn.com/2022/04/25/tech/elon-musk-twitter-sale-agreement/index.html
Twitter said Monday it has agreed to sell itself to Elon Musk, who will take the company private in a deal valued at around $44 billion.
The deal caps off a whirlwind news cycle in which the Tesla and SpaceX CEO became one of Twitter's largest shareholders, was offered and turned down a seat on its board and bid to buy the company — all in less than a month.
Under the terms of the deal, shareholders will receive $54.20 in cash for each share of Twitter stock they own, matching Musk's original offer and marking a 38% premium over the stock price the day before Musk revealed his stake in the company.
"Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated," Musk said in a statement Monday. "Twitter has tremendous potential — I look forward to working with the company and the community of users to unlock it."
Does this mean the likes of Trump and Jim Corr will be back lol?
It's a massive sewer full of rats. Maybe he'll clean it up but unlikely. The number of anonymous trolls on it is crazy. Look under any politicians tweet and bots or trolls replies from rival parties is just vile.
It's not going to get any better with this boy. I think some people think they pick their causes and selectively choose who to "cancel" etc. He's probably just not going to "cancel" anyone so it'll be worse lol.

Yeah that would be my view on it too despite a pseudonym lol. There's a lot of ones making threats etc and it needs clamped down on. I really don't think that's Musk's agenda though so I very much doubt anything will change there. If you are on those platforms saying nasty things etc and doing things you could not do to peoples faces you should be clamped down on and you need to take a look at yourself.

There is but it doesn't do much. Some pretty toxic stuff goes untouched. Threats etc go without being addressed.

It's the anonymity of the users (irony alert) who say something get banned and just re-join under a different name and go again. There is also a lot of bots. Many run by political parties here. It's good for scores and some current news but as a debating platform it's toxic.

I use it mainly for football / tech stuff but even the tech stuff is a bit polluted. It is fantastic for sports results though.
Anti vax and pro russia were things that were banned and "the right" have been up in arms. Stalking and threats are fair game. Posting videos with rights to them is not fair game.
A hilarious example recently has been George Galloway who has more or less been labeled a Russian agent because he worked for RT. Now it may be a bit harsh but if you are just posting russian propaganda which is what he seems to do and then say you're balanced then your argument weakens slightly.
"The right" want anti vax and pro russia and things like that to be ok and tbh I think Musk will ok that.
It, and facebook, have been heavily used to influence election campaigns as per the cambridge analytica stuff etc. Probably more facebook mind you.
The looney left losing their minds about musk buying twitter is beautiful, terrified that they can't censor opinions they don't like .

It will be no harm in one sense to get the hatemongering liars like himself back out there.
People have short memories. Nothing wrong with reminding them of what he is and why he got himself banned in the first place.
And it will force the GOP to deal with his bullshit and not memory-hole it like they've been desperately trying to do.
But... on the other hand its been very nice not having his histrionics dominate the airwaves for the past year. :(

Yeah, but the problem is that what used to be the extremists on the right are now that side's mainstream. And its not just the US. Look at the growth in the vote for LePen.

She increased her first round vote by 5.9%, and 1.85 pct points. Not insignificant ; but not nearly as much as the headlines would lead one to believe.

That cracks me up ;D
The twitter label imposed over every Galloway tweet is "Russian state-affiliated media" I thought George would have accepted that as a badge of honour.
I don't mind if Trump or any other deranged person is allowed to use twitter but I don't want to wake up every day, turn on the news and the main item of interest is what nonsense Trump tweeted.
Is Twitter down?
Where will the angry people go now?
Jesus Elon Musk's gone through Twitter like a dose of salts.
I love how the lefties (and I am a bit of one) are losing their shit. Musk was not the boss when Trump rose and they were the ones quoting him there and amplifying.
It's like the idiots who give out about an offensive topic trending but when you hit the # it's fuckin their tweets crying about X ir Y making it trend.
Also people using examples of it being horrible by screen shots of accounts that are clearly bots...
It's great for sport, funny videos and the likes. Lookit Insta has lots of direct racial abuse and TikTok is ropey too.

It's brilliant. Trump, Andrew Tate and whoever else was banned for not following the script of the MSM should never have been banned. Disagree and challenge their views absolutely but they're perfectly entitled to them, as are all of us.

Same thoughts going through my head. The doom scrolling isn't healthy
But lads you don't have to doom scroll! I muted the word Trump and it was great when he was on it.
Also, all these holier than thou ex-employees spouting on their concerns for the platform helped to create a platform where bots were rampant, outrage and anger was exploited. So, they can shut their beaks over Musk.
Musk will get bored of it in a month. Also, all the concern over the Saudi shares...sure they are great friends of the UK and USA when they are selling them weapons and buying their oil, but all of a sudden when they are involved in social media it's a big worry...

In fairness he's not the first guy to come up with a suggestion like that. Didn't Kevin Bridges come across guy on a bus who was 15p short on his bus fare but had enough financial acumen to suggest that if he was in charge of Facebook he'd charge a quid a go. It's refreshing to see that Elon's actions are in line with that guy. He understands the masses and has that common touch
Advertisers are leaving too. Musk is playing senior hurling. He might get hooked.

Twitter and managing depressed Milennials and Gen Z is more like Junior B hurling.
Musk seems to be right wing in terms of his belief in free speech, certainly it's the right wing that is applauding his taking over of Twitter.
But he has made his fortune from selling EVs, his customers won't be the same right wing people on Twitter who are welcoming how he seems to be running the Big Bird. I find this juxtaposition interesting.

Did he not make his fortune on the potential of future sales of electric cars and share price. Tesla would be nowhere near the top in terms of car sales.

I think we're seeing the demise of Twitter.
FB has been struggling recently and I think Elon's plans sound like they'll drive users away from the platform.
What's the next big platform??
How is Facebook funding WhatsApp? It has become (nearly) indespensible across business, community, social, voluntary, family etc etc

I think so too. Well done to plastic face Musk.
I despise Twitter and how people use it, but as a real-time news source it's by several distances the most important and useful social media platform (WhatsApp isn't social media) and it will be around longer than any of us will be. Even though it's unlikely ever to be profitable, for the speed at which it churns through every single topic imaginable makes it exceptionally difficult to target with advertising.
The only difference with twitter from 3 weeks ago is the content is not moderated by a bunch of 20/30 year old progressives which is a good thing , the fact most of the people outraged by musks takeover probably drive teslas makes it more delicious .

It's a reflection of a polarised society .
There are culture wars everywhere to keep people divided. This stops any kind of progress. The North is a fabulous example but you also have Brexit, Trumps vs Dems, Migrants, Trans vs women , Abortion, Guns, CNN vs Fox etc. It's all bullshit.
'Globalists' is the next big LvR issue. I've noticed it popping up a lot lately from a few right wing sources.I watch GB news the odd time to see what nonsense is being spouted and this is it- Globalists are bad, home bred Nationalism is good.

Woke means alert and sensitive to racism. Extreme right wingers and racists have tried to extend the meaning to include a host of other issues which are more debatable. Any decent person is woke in the pure sense that they hate racism.

He's a (snakeoil) salesman who's struck lucky with Paypal and to an extent on Tesla cars (who were already making good inroads to the EV market) but he may become unstuck with Twitter if the advertisers don't like the direction it's heading.

Certainly, David McWilliams reckons that he has wiped out billions by buying Twitter, as he set the price earlier in the year but tach stocks are much lower now.

My God there's too many jumping off points from that clip. She pulled him for referring to globalists and then referencing her Jewish friends - I got the impression from the GB News shite hawks when they were referring to Globalists it was any hoor who wasn't English tbh and I got the feeling that that is what that Tory voter meant too - either road, it's not good. I get the feeling we're going to hear a lot more about Globalists in the ongoing (fabricated) culture wars.
Globalists entered my timeline a while ago and funny enough it also seemed to come from accounts of people who believe COVID is made up, vaccines are a hoax and there's a great financial reset.
There's 420k verified accounts on twitter not sure how many of those will pay $8 a month to stay blue checked .Elon says It's losing 4m a day currently and looks like 75% of staff did nothing , Hard to believe musk would buy it not knowing this stuff .
I'm sure there's plenty of advertisers around to pick up slack if some current ones leave , musk doesn't seem like a guy that willingly loses money .
Well if he lays off 75% of his staff I guess he'll find out.
He's taking a huge risk. It's his nature. It's not clear that it will work out.
All these platforms have a lifespan. Twitter was there to stay before musk but he could well break it. The line that it represents the best and the worst of internet culture is for me bang on the money.
Without Twitter I don't think the Jamie Brysons of this world exist. Without it I don't think the anti vaccine "movement" has remotely the same influence it does. Without it sports updates and things like that just not the same.
It's going to be very interesting. It really was not moderated well and "the right" thought it was moderated heavily by "the left" and to a point I would say it is but there are various things it has influenced like brexit etc that would also favour non lefties. Basically in a lot of ways it's a mess and Musk recognises that but for the wrong reasons.

He's paid 44 billion for this cesspit. I'm not sure if it worth 1 billion. He has to cut costs to make it work. He needs to clean it up as well. It's a massive undertaking. It'll be interesting to see if he can pull it off. The subscription model will be interesting but I wouldn't pay that's for sure.

Massively wary of anyone who calls themselves a 'free speech' advocate
Because, like Elon, they are (in the main) actually only advocates of their own brand of free speech
"People should be free to say whatever they want - as long as it doesn't annoy ME"
The best exponents of this are the poppy brigade gammons
These folks will castigate any and all comers for 'virtue signalling'
Except in November - when this particular brand of virtue signalling is compulsory

Take over a company
Sack thousands of people
Realise that dozens of them are actually critical to your business
Beg them to return to work
If you're being honest you'd have to admit - it's a fairly monumental fcuk up
It's a bit like Truss.
Take a hatchet to convention and arse everything up

Boys on call for systems they've never heard of before.
Asking managers to manage 20 people and code.
Phoning up ones that were sacked and giving them an hour to see if they want their job back.

Who remembers the Ulster Bank IT debackle? Bean counters outside to offshore, and offshore know feck all.
Apols to any Ulster Bank IT staff, lol.
That could be what's coming but at least you'd be locked out of Twitter as opposed to your bank account!

Not just Twitter letting staff go, Meta (Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp) is letting 11,000 of its worldwide employees go, with about 350 of them in Ireland.
QuoteAround 350 Irish-based employees are at risk of losing their jobs at Facebook parent company Meta.
The firm has announced that it will reduce the size of its global workforce by about 13% and let more than 11,000 employees go.
There are around 3,000 people directly employed by Meta in Ireland and the 13% cut is expected to be applied, meaning that around 390 jobs would be at risk.
However, RTÉ News understands from people with knowledge of the process that the figure is closer to 350.
It is understood all potentially affected Irish-based employees were being informed today.

I do wonder if we're going to see, for the lack of a better term, the "original" Web 2.0 pillars like FB & Twitter going into a gradual downfall in users/incomes especially as there's a significant risk of a worldwide recession hitting advertising & potential paid feature uptakes not to mention that there really isn't much room for either platform to grow user numbers (if anything they're starting to fall)?
The rich have all the money. This means that most businesses can't grow. f**k them .

Musk & Twitter ownership don't seem a good fit. He'll likely ruin it first with kneejerk tinkering and then bankrupt it.

If twitter goes he would go with it. That's where he "made" himself. That's one of the main reasons I hope it goes ;D

He will drive down the value and someone else will take over or it will be IPO'd

Put yer money where your mouth is...
Turns out he tried to get out of the commitments he made with all the bumming and blowing he did a few months ago, but whatever he signed up to, the then owners of Twitter won in court and he had to honour those obligations.
Allegedly he'll be paying almost $7B per year on interest alone on the loan he took out to buy Twitter.
As I've said before, a snake oil salesman who got lucky on Paypal, but looks like he's fúcked it up.

He paid $44b for it. It's doubtful if it is worth $44m.

Elon has missed the point of twitter. He wants a "free for all" but if those who put up the interesting content (for me that's politicians, journalists and scientists, sports content etc etc but will vary from person to person) and allows all the shíte of the day on it unabated, then the companies currently advertising on the platform may have rethinks and those who put value content on will move away, not needing the hassle that comes with the lunatics with a free reign.
It's a complete mess anyway and what he thinks the problem is is very far from being the problem. He thinks people should be able to speak uninhibited on it. A lot of people do and stuff like vaccine rhetoric, even more local the likes of that binlid etc say what they like however there are some "causes" that have been muzzled so suddenly it's woke etc. There are quite a few on it who are not muzzled who should be. People who are susceptible to being influenced read all that stuff and hey presto they're influenced.
That said on the flip side I do wonder if the cancel culture stuff originates from twitter. I definitely think it's a big factor but I don't know if he'll be able to stop the "pile ons".

Is advertising revenue that big for Twitter. I think he's trying to get the $8 to finally monetise it.
I do agree that it will become a cesspit.

Why would you need to ever give Twitter your credit card details?
How would you pay for the blue tick?

Musk & Twitter ownership don't seem a good fit. He'll likely ruin it first with kneejerk tinkering and then bankrupt it.
Put yer money where your mouth is...
Turns out he tried to get out of the commitments he made with all the bumming and blowing he did a few months ago, but whatever he signed up to, the then owners of Twitter won in court and he had to honour those obligations.
Allegedly he'll be paying almost $7B per year on interest alone on the loan he took out to buy Twitter.
As I've said before, a snake oil salesman who got lucky on Paypal, but looks like he's fúcked it up.
Greed and ego are a bad combination especially when you've no one around you to tell you to wise the fúck up..
He paid $44b for it. It's doubtful if it is worth $44m.
When you cannot see your own limitations it is amazing where people can get to in life.
That's why I don't understand how something that is hemorrhaging money by all accounts can be worth 44 billion
Surely something as big as twitter wouldn't take a whole pile to turn a round and make profitable?
It will end up like those mobile games that used to come out and be really addictive and generating high traffic, then the owner monetises it by putting ads in it and people just stop playing it
Elon has missed the point of twitter. He wants a "free for all" but if those who put up the interesting content (for me that's politicians, journalists and scientists, sports content etc etc but will vary from person to person) and allows all the shíte of the day on it unabated, then the companies currently advertising on the platform may have rethinks and those who put value content on will move away, not needing the hassle that comes with the lunatics with a free reign.
Is advertising revenue that big for Twitter. I think he's trying to get the $8 to finally monetise it.
I do agree that it will become a cesspit.
Nice new slag though, "your Da pays for a blue tick on twitter" Up there with "Your Da sell Avon"
How else did it generate income before Elon took over?
He's trying to monetise it in more ways than selling a blue tick for $8 per month, he's trying to sell off your data hence why his CFO and a few high up legal types resigned lately.
It didn't need to find the $44bn the galoot borrowed to buy it. Twitter was famously famous for never making real money.

Yes.

Apple get most of their phones made in China by Foxconn, well renowned for the suicide nets on their accommodation blocks.
Lots of US multinationals use Foxconn.
I've been to China auditing competitors of Foxconn and the first thing they tell you is that they're not like Foxconn who are the bottom feeders when it comes to sub contracted manufacturing of this sort.

Obviously because they have figured out that, in the US at least, Twitter/Musk are a liability--a drag on their own profitability.
The market is free, right?, so capitalist companies should have the right to decide whom they do business with.
Not sure why Republican free-marketeers have a problem with this, tbh.

Gmac won't remind you that even the NY Post writer whose name appeared on the byline publicly distanced themselves from the story at the time.
Elon is trying to change the subject from his being forced to deal with Kanye West, the new hero of the right and Fox News, after his naked anti- semitism progressed to open admiration for Hitler and the swastika.
And it takes the attention away from Trump's enjoyable evening at Mara Lago with Kanye and the racist, Jew-hating holocaust denier Nick Fuentes.

That evening is going to be a problem for trump going forward surely. He'll still have his far right lunatics who hate everyone else from blacks, jew, liberals and gays. Jewish republicans are surely appalled by the company trump is keeping as will be any decent republicans left in the party.

Elon needs to re-employ his entire engineering team who he sacked on the first day, lots of glitches in using it since he took over. Plus lots of adds that are of ne relevance to me as well.

CEO of Twitter is a full time job, there is no way that Musk was planning to do it permanently. He will still be the owner and will appoint a CEO.

McGregor. Clarkson, while a borderline pub bore at times, has at least some intelligence and can be willing to make himself look like an eejit when needs be. His recent words concerning Meghan Markle were out of order**, but unless you're either Piers Morgan or work in catering the chances of you being physically assaulted by him are relatively low.
McGregor OTOH is an example that a skanger is still a skanger even when they escape from the big smoke.
** Couldn't give much of a damn about all of the current drama concerning the British royal family TBH, but it was still out of order.
No contest between McGregor and Clarkson when you read his latest post about Paul McGrath

I'd never heard of him before yesterday when I read about his attempt to troll Thunberg and then his laughably pathetic and desperate efforts to save face after her response.
Then I see last night he's been arrested for sex trafficking!
And then I see Tucker f**king Carlson had him on his show to whine about being banned on Twitter a few months back. But of course...
Read a bit into him. Talks a bit of shite but is generally spot on. I'd 100% say that these charges are bullshit as well
Serious question, have you read much about his tweets? He's an odious person.
To be detained for another 30 days https://www.rte.ie/news/world/2022/1230/1344154-andrew-tate/

No he hasn't been released as of this time. And if it's only "money laundering" you might want to tell the Romanian police that.
QuoteA spokesperson for the Directorate for Investigating Organised Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT) said prosecutors had applied to hold the influencer at a "detention centre" for an additional 30 days.
A judge will rule on the application on Friday, the spokesperson added. The brothers have been under investigation since April alongside two Romanian nationals.
During the detention hearing, the two brothers maintained their right to silence, their lawyer told the BBC.
"The four suspects... appear to have created an organised crime group with the purpose of recruiting, housing and exploiting women by forcing them to create pornographic content meant to be seen on specialised websites for a cost," DIICOT said in a statement.

Being very wealthy or having nice cars doesn't make him a good person or someone to look up to or admire. Plenty of complete bastards have made lots of money usually by exploiting people along the way. If you have him on a pedestal as someone to admire then that's your prerogative but it says quite a bit about the type of person you are.
People who spend their life on Twitter and social media get very worked up about these culture wars. I had never heard of him before it was on the news

I do to a certain point but there's a big difference how people can live there life from a city or town dweller to a countryside resident, and country to country varies hugely too , so not all policies fit .
Its been done since forever create a crisis and an industry launches to fix said crisis it never fixes it though because they would put themselves out of business, also a difference now is media has a huge stake in the fear and sells the crisis consistently also .

It's called weather. What about the other 39 summers where it pissed every day ? Plant the seed and people begin to see what they want to see. We get a warm couple of days and suddenly we're all gonna melt. Years ago it was a bit of a breeze , now it's storm A B and C.

Not guilty or not found guilty? With his wealth he's likely to get the legal help to get him off but I'd bet any money that he's 100% guilty. He sounds like he's an absolute sc**bag.

Did he not make his money by running cam websites??
Maybe he's one of the few in that industry who doesn't get involved in human trafficking I mean he clearly values women and would never seek to exploit them based on his interviews online...

One of the reasons this self-declared "trillionaire" gave for moving to live in an industrial unit in Romania was to "evade rape allegations". How much you laying down?

QuoteExplaining that it's "40 per cent of the reason I moved to Romania," Tate said: "I'm not a f****** rapist, but I like the idea of just being able to do what I want. I like being free.
QuoteIf you put yourself in a position to be raped, you must bare some responsibility."
People can make up their own minds about this guy. But I'd love to hear Armagh's logic behind putting so much behind him not being guilty of rape? Given his ability to victim blame he comes across as a complete c**t.
I never heard of this Andrew Tate lad until recently but he comes across as a lovely fellow!! An absolute gentleman who deserves to be heard and listened to. The sort that you'd love your daughter to settle down with! A very modest man of the people with not a hint of ego or pretentiousness.

Because decided I couldn't have been arsed getting into a discussion about it but your response.. I watched the reddit video, he didn't say that, he moved there because MeToo and false allegations - which a lot of footballers, high profile men etc have experienced. excluding Greenwood and the scum like him.
As for the tweet no excuse for it but obviously was some back and forth between them
QuoteI watched the reddit video, he didn't say that,
You obviously didn't watch
Gabriel Hurl loves an oul phoney left wing Twitter culture war ???
I can only assume some posters saw he had a twitter spat with Greta and decided they were on the same side as him. I can't imagine anyone who had a good look at his tweets would believe he's someone to row in behind.

Love the way online now if you agree with something a person says then you automatically agree with every view they hold and they can do no wrong. Why is it not possible to agree with lots of what Tate says but say that shit like the above is vile?

But why were you so sure he wasn't guilty of rape? To me that's the exact same issue. You've read a few things that you agree with therefore are prepared to back him 100% that he's not guilty of rape. Unless you had other evidence as too why you were so sure he wasn't guilty?

This guy Tate has caused some stir, was listening to Radio Ulster this morning, generally never listen but this reporter was at a school talking about internet safety and the dangers of kids being unsupervised while using it..
The amount of young lads 13 up to around 17 that have this guy on a pedestal is unreal, one lad saying he idolised him, cause, according to him, he'd made his money from nothing and had all these cars and was a millionaire, all based on his tick tock shite and youtubing! Kids are doomed

Pretty much. He has went totally mad on it and fired in very key places and then it was a company which always very left anyway so a load of ones just bailed out when he came in as he would not be perceived to be the left.
It has become a very strange place since Elon took over. Eejits like the Kildare lad running around unfettered. My feed (which previously was PBS, CNN, BBCNI news, Golf, and Soccer) is now filled with the rantings of Marjorie Taylor Green, Lauren Boebert, repeated retweets from people who are followed by Matt LeTissier (maybe my fault for following him before he went full tin hat), videos of black on white violence (presumably in an effort to make some kind of point in regards to racial tensions in the US being the fault of black people). It's like everything I ever followed, Elon decided to make sure I see nothing but the opposite (viewpoint, presumably). I now come face to face with every Bryson tweet, despite never having followed him. I see every Newsletter article on the protocol, despite following the Irish News.
Still, McKenna is the worst.
Is it just me or have the ads gotten worse?? Seems to be the same company advertising different shite with a different name but a logo using different versions of the same colours... and they're every 5 tweets or so it's a disaster!

Yeah they are nonstop now
Elon must think im a Trader in my spare time....
I thought it was just me with the ads.
For the past couple years , I got rid of ads , by just clicking 'I don't like this ad' on a few ads at a time . And they went away for weeks or months at s time.
Now they are relentless. I only really. use twitter for sports update , and I'm seriously considering stopping now . Pain in the hole
It's a free app like. They don't bother me that much
So the ads are annoying? The place is a cesspit
The adverts I can handle, but I'm getting more than the usual followers by young single ladies, lol

Anyone having trouble getting
in to Twitter?
Won't let me in , even after inputting password many times

I just thought it was down Mourne Red, is that the next of it? Did see a message Rate Limit Exceeded....

My Twitter. Playing up a few days. Deleted app , now need to. upgrade software before I can download again. Don't have the memory to do that , so feck it , I Can't be arsed with it no more
Clearly musk buying twitter is about running it into the ground and limiting free speech when he relaunches it and becomes the 'saviour'

Took me a few minutes to get the tweet because of that "Rate limit exceeded" 😅 but that's the tweet there, I thought it was just down to then seen that tweet of his.
Yeah he's just killed twitter
Cant read it lol. Maybe tomorrow.
Part of me thinks what an absolute knobjockey other bit says thanks as ill waste less time on it.
Is it 600 tweets a day? Wouldnt be long scrollin thro that...
Mastodon, anyone?
https://www.google.com/amp/s/news.sky.com/story/amp/twitter-applies-temporary-reading-limits-for-all-users-elon-musk-announces-12913108
Only temporary.....so he says..
To address extreme levels of data scraping & system manipulation, we've applied the following temporary limits:
- Verified accounts are limited to reading 6000 posts/day
- Unverified accounts to 600 posts/day
- New unverified accounts to 300/day
...........................................
I'll copy and paste it in lol.. So if you scroll past a tweet it counts are you having "read it" or even scrolling through replies to a tweet.
Same here quit yo - will get a lot more done around the house and at work with that limit around lol

People in the occupied territories should have it, not those of us in Europe.
I reckon this is the end now.
Threads has the Meta infrastructure behind it. Plus I think you can migrate followers.
I'm on Threads. It's very upbeat stuff, nicer to read than Twitter. It sends all sorts of random stuff at me but so far it seems to be good stuff.

I do enjoy Twitter, cant stand Facebook or Instagram but I would not pay a penny for it. The only people who pay currently are ones who have a decent following but once the followers all head off they will also. Threads is apparently the nearest thing but have not looked into it.
I will certainly quit if he asks for a subscription. A small one off payment for the app I might consider.
Hopefully he does to give me an excuse to get off it lol

Ditched Twitter, thought the political stuff on it was abolutely toxic. Do not miss it at all.
yep seems like musk wants to shove politics down peoples throats.
