I use Twitter for work and it’s basically Dead Valley to a large degree.

Abuse is just as central to tech that connects people as selling beef that isn’t contaminated with salmonella

Just because of refrigeration ping.

Is Twitter in it’s way to becoming today’s MySpace?
where a only small number of people still use it. Something that defines and reduces your status with those more tech savvy.

ANYthing, that is touted as 'personal' (communication) ... and moves at the speed of light

is not personal

I've never twittered, tweeted or whoopdidoo'ed ... but I have FB'd and 2 days away clutters your page with kitty's and cheeeze recipes so deep .... you lose that one article you wanted to share.

And as I understand things ... FB is a dinosaur.

Too many people got into trouble, kicked out of the Olympics, lost their jobs, were attacked by the Thought Police because of innocent comments on twitter.

But they can’t die! they just can’t!!!

Where will I go to get my second by second updates on the bowel movements of strangers?

Life is so unfair. Damn you world with such disappointment in it...

Good. I always thought twitter was a waste of time.

It’s only useful for quips and posting URLS with little to no explanation.

Why Twitter’s Dying (And What You Can Learn From It)

Good. I hated the fact that something so stupid was ever a "thing."

Now if only Facebook would go away too.

What’s killing Twitter is the abuse by media outlets and bloggers to Tweet messages that are nothing more than a link to some article.

Tweeters should be required to say something of substance in their messages. If you’re linking to a blog or news article, at least include the entire headline so I can decide if it’s something I want to read or if it’s something I already read somewhere else.

If I wanted links, I’d go to Yahoo.com. A lot of the links are just clickbait, anyway.

And something will eventually replace FB. That is why investing in these companies is rife with risk.

I’m looking forward to FarceBook going the way of the dinosaurs. I made the mistake of using a FB account to defend a small businessman against the VegaNazis and was summarily booted.

Not everybody is bright enough to use the mute or block buttons.

As i heard it explained on the Walton and Johnson radio show, facebook is dying, because it was considered ‘cool’, until all the grandads and grandmas started using it.

The last social media outlet i used was AmericaOnline, and that was before the turn of the millenium.

Some friendless little snowflake got mobbed, abused, shoved, and attacked all while sitting alone at Dairy Queen in the booth in the back. Quelle tragic. And that spells the end of Twitter.

To be replaced by the next social media latest greatest.

social media apps might go away, but social media is here to stay.
