This is hilarious. Thank God I never made an account on that cesspool.
I was either on my last slide phone or my first smart phone when Twitter came out and Facebook was beginning it's ascent to late 2000s domination.
From the beginning, I thought the concept of effectively posting text messages on this new Twitter thing made no sense at all, so I never bothered making an account.
However many years later, I'm super glad I thought Twitter v1.0 was so silly.
I was head of an IT department at the time and distinctly remember telling everyone in a team meeting that this "micro-blogging" was pointless, going nowhere and we should ignore it. Wrong!
Think the only thing you were wrong about was "going nowhere".
Unfortunately a lot of people like doing pointless things that they should ignore.
You mean you didn’t want to spend 10-20 cents per tweet and per reply to you and from you to share 140 characters a pop to the internet?
Glad I wasn’t the only one.
Shit never made sense to me either.
