No.

No twits, no face plants, no g -, no, no, no. I don't like people that much.

This guy on the other hand...

I hear he's a real tweet.

I check out Condescending Wonka on Twitter, but I'm not a Twitterer. Plus, no one cares about my random thoughts. That's what I have this forum for.

Not on facebook becuase I don't care about the daily goings-on of my friends' kids or the high school people I haven't seen in 20 years.

Not on instagram because I don't spend much of my life photographing myself with the anticipation of uploading it to FB/Twitter/instagram

cynic

This pretty much sums up why I don't use Twitter or Facespace

I've come to really like twitter for certain things. It's become a really useful tool for keeping in touch with people I occasionally work with, but who I'm not close enough to to put on my Facebook or trade emails with.

I don't know how twitter works. I guess it doesn't hold my attention that long. Plus, it's another way for wannabe celebrities to whore themselves out. I don't generally feel like pandering to that kinda person. Now were twitter useful to me, I might follow it.

I do not twit. I guess I cannot say I do not like it thought, since other than people saying, "Like us on facebook, and follow us on Twitter" all the time on TV I've never looked at a tweet. I give the twits a lot of credit for getting all the free advertising out of the media, or perhaps it is not free advertising, but very crafty product placement. Either way I don't use it and don't see any need to start. I do not have time for that.

No Twitter-ing here.

Have a Facebook, buy I usually only check it 2-3 a month.

I'm too addicted to Facebook for my own good. I follow a few on Twitter, but I only check it once in a while when I have some time to kill, like on the train ride to Boston. G+ is good, though I despise their recent UI redesign and will only read it on my phone now.

I've been known to tweet occasionally, but not much, nor much of any real use. Though I must say I got a cheap thrill recently when Bill Caswell followed me, despite my lousy content.

Nope, don't use any social networking. And probably still wouldn't even if I didn't do work in computer security research.

No. Anything useful, as a whole, cannot be said by me in 140 characters.

If I had a twitter account I'd type that twice and send it out.

Good read.

They picked 140 characters for Twitter to leave room for usernames and such to fit into the SMS 160 character max.

Once I year I dust off the twitter account for the BABE rally. Everyone on the rally basically uses it as a mass SMS text system to communicate. But beyond that I've never seen a viable use for it.
