It’s weird, because I hate the idea of Twitter, but have no problem with Facebook and status updates.

It’s not just the tax code, either. It’s having to lexis search all the Revenue Rulings and Private Letter Rulings looking for factual scenarios that probably don’t exist, and if they do, they probably conflict because there’s no true body of precedent.

I like facebook for getting and staying in touch with people but I really hate having to go on there and see stupid sh** like " -————— is so annoyed that Republicans insist on using the word “Democrat” as an adjective — the word is “DEMOCRATIC!” Just get something right!". As if I need to see that and/or deal with it.
Oh, by the way, that is all twitter is. The worst part of facebook, on its own.
Most of the people I follow on Twitter don’t post like that. Lots of people use it for communication, not for status updates.
LGT's resident Beer Advocate.
Agreed. Phil Plait (professional astronomer) even uses it to track asteroids that hit the earth – he searches for people who tweet about them and uses these updates to calculate latitude/longitude and size/mass/orbit of the object. Ridiculously awesome.
To be fair, most of my friends on facebook don’t post like that either, but the ones that do really irk me. My posts are limited to “GO TRIBE!” or “D-WADE!” or “LIVERPOOOL!!!!” or other hopefully less-annoying things.
by jakesinger777 on Apr 12, 2009 2:35 PM EDT up reply actions
It’d be a lot less annoying if they were actually your friends. I’d enjoy facebook a lot more if I’d employed a policy of only friending the 100 or so people I actually give a crap about.
Whoever yesterday mentioned the “Which Crayon Color Are You” crap was dead on. ONLY people I don’t care about use those things, and they do them constantly. Which is probably related to the reasons I don’t care about them in the first place.

This. The whole concept is predicated on the idea that people care what other people who aren’t important are doing. It’s pseudo-internet celebrity attention whoring.

If you don’t care then why would you follow? On Twitter you can follow whoever you want.

Yeah. Twitter hate is generally built on having never used twitter.
It’s pretty innocuous and offers a high level of control, unlike facebook.

People use facebook to catalog their friends. Twitter doesn’t have the same implications.
On facebook, you can write something that appears on my wall and then I have something inappropriate on my wall, thanks to you. You can post photos of me that I don’t want posted.
Twitter is streamlined. I control all the content associated with me, period. It’s the kind of thing I can use to communicate with my students fearlessly. This is incredibly powerful-I can be a presence in their life without worrying about them seeing someone cursing on my wall.
Not to be nitpicky, but you can delete those wall posts.

Delete. One click.
Again, it’s a matter of preference. But if you don’t indiscriminately allow people you don’t know to be your FB friends, you won’t have those problems.

I have to go check it all the time and delete it. On Twitter, I’m the sole editor. It’s huge difference.
And many, many things that I don’t think are problems for my friends to post on my wall are problems when you teach 13 year olds.
I want both things. I want to be able to socially network on FBook and have my students twitter me “I don’t understand problem 14 on the homework” on twitter without them seeing photos of my from 4 years ago.
You’re just being difficult if you don’t see how both services have a place.
I don’t want to devote all this time to managing my facebook photos, wall, etc so that it’s kid friendly. I want one thing that’s for my adult friends and one thing that’s a quick way to communicate with all people without giving out my phone number or email.
See, that is a legitimate use of Twitter. But you realize that most people don’t use it this way. I think that’s what most people here are taking issue with.

Why do you always have to turn arguments like this into personal attacks? I’m not being “difficult,” I just don’t like Twitter. Good for you if you do, that’s fine.

Well, I certainly didn’t intend anything to be a personal attack nor have I in the past.
I mean, you realize that Jay just last week asked a long time poster if he wanted to do a PSA titled “I never learned to read”?
Yeah no, I know. Sorry. I tend to get more worked up about Twitter and silly things than I should. Bottom line — Twitter works for you and not for me, and that’s that. No hard feelings.

Agree – facebook has a ridiculous amount of control. The fact that almost nobody fully utilizes it is beside the point.
by jakesinger777 on Apr 12, 2009 2:37 PM EDT up reply actions
But on FBook it uses the word “friends”, which means I’ve got to say “we’re not friends.” On Twitter, you either follow or don’t and it doesn’t have any of the same connotations.
Plus, on FBook it’s a mutual choice, “now we follow each other.” On Twitter, I can just follow one person, a famous person, and they don’t have to follow me. It’s really much more nuanced.
How is that more nuanced? It allows for easier stalker-ish creepy behavior.
I'm *always* in the driver's seat, cugino -- Chuck
by Turkmenbashi on Apr 12, 2009 2:40 PM EDT up reply actions
Having been stalked before, I’d be grateful for a Twitter stalker and not a “call-me-at-work-to-threaten-my-life” stalker.
Yeah, but ya know what I’m saying? On Facebook, you have to accept a friend request. If that’s not “control,” I don’t know what is.
I'm *always* in the driver's seat, cugino -- Chuck
by Turkmenbashi on Apr 12, 2009 2:42 PM EDT up reply actions
Nuance deals with multiple layers of detail. On FBook, there is one relationship you can have with someone-friends.
On Twitter, there are three: Follower, Followed, Mutual. It’s more nuanced.
My twitter hate is 100% based on facebook status update hate.

No, but people want other people to follow them. And I’m sorry, I think things like the Washington Post Twitter feed are absurd. Are you that CONNECTED that you need a freaking tweet to entice you to check the news? Why not just check when you get a chance?

I’m not sure what is more annoying right now – bad situational hitting + strikeouts, or my friend’s new phone ass-calling me for the last week leaving me endless empty voicemails.
Reyes did a damn fine job in the 2006 WS, and I’m positive he can do that again. His problems since then were, I believe, mostly due to La Russa’s craptastic managing skills.

You know, comments like these are a dime a dozen. On the other hand, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush and "dagger" might just be a sheep in wolf’s clothing. Now, your guess is as good as mine and two wrongs don’t make a right but I think "dagger’s" post might just be the straw that broke the camel’s back.
However, keep in mind, the devil is in the details and people in glass houses shouldn’t throw rocks, but, at the end of the day, idle hands are the Devil’s tools. I mean, every cloud has a silver lining and drastic times call for drastic measures so I think we’ll find out that all that glitters is not gold.
In conclusion, I want to make sure everyone understands that the bigger they are, the harder they fall plus six of one, half dozen of the other doesn’t necessarily mean we’re out of the frying pan and into the fire. I guess I’m just trying to say that you should never bite the hand that feeds you and you sure don’t want to wake up on the wrong side of the bed but drastic times call for drastic measures.

I’m not saying I’m not pissed. But he has on a hat and sun glasses. And I’ve lost a ball in the sun before. Sometimes, it’s just impossible.
