El Presidente Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I am intrigued. Jason has asked me to set up a Twitter account (friendsofhabano). I have done so but have no idea what the hell for. Who uses Twitter here on the forum? More importantly...why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jquest63 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I don't use, but know others who do- they are into networking It's an instant messaging service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sounddust Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 How about a Facebook page Prez? But not in conjunction with Twit-ter, it's annoying enough on its own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Presidente Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 How about a Facebook page Prez? But not in conjunction with Twit-ter, it's annoying enough on its own. I struggle with the concept of Facebook and hence am not on it. I still squirm when I am "invited" to be someone's "Friend". Friends aren't made that easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friends aren't made that easy I see, in that case you would probably find it slightly disturbing when a "Pee Wee Herman" starts following you on Twit-ter.

shortsqueeze Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Don't fight the Facebook movement Rob, they have hundreds of millions of users! I don't use it often, but it is a nice tool to see what people are up to in their lives, look at pictures of their family, etc. Think of it like this ... folks use it in lieu of their own website, and it's easy and free of charge.

kilroy Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 The real question is, 'Who gives a crap about Twitter?' So far as I can tell, the only good thing about Twitter is if you're accused of a crime happening somewhere else while you were sitting 'tweeting' away somewhere instead of working and need an alibi! ... if I ever see someone in a coffee shop on their iphone 'tweeting'... I'm gonna slap the twit out of them! Then they can tweet, 'I just got pimp slapped for being a ******'... I don't mean to sound harsh... but it really annoys me the creative way people waste time.... now if you'll excuse me... I'm going to go play tetris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habanablue Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I use Facebook for photos etc, Signed up to twitter, but find the whole thing a bit of a sham...If any FOHers are on Twitter think about checking out cigarshout.com it is similar to twitter but as the name suggests, it is all cigar related.

log1k Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 twitter is arguably the dumbest creation on the net to date.....I don't understand why people care are so intrigued by it. That being said, too bad I didn't think of it and make millions LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt45 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I'm not a fan of facebook / myspace / twitter either. I've never quite understood how people can be so willing to provide so much personal information over the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadawin Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I use twitter, and to be honest i dont really know why i do.... anyway i tried looking up the friendofhabanos twitter page and couldnt find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rckymtn22 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Don't twitter, not on Facebook, and don't have a myspace page, could care less. Me too, rather shoutbox on here. Twit-ter is the latest fad until the latest next one comes along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stalebread Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Don't twitter, not on Facebook, and don't have a myspace page, could care less. Same here. Also: no cell phone; no TV. (Egad! No TV?) And usually let the phone go into voice mail. My wife uses something called linkedin that she claims is for business contacts but I have my doubts. As I write this, I am beginning to suspect that I might be part of a Luddite sleeper cell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandholm Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 twitter is arguably the dumbest creation on the net to date.....I don't understand why people care are so intrigued by it. can only agree, i can understand people who put up personal information on facebook/twitter, or put up images of family or friends. How can you be sure that your kids want to be viewed on a network, they might be young but that mean that you should protect them, or friends. Twitter, who cares if you have a coffee now or are on the lou. never understood it and i just dont care, but i dont look at television that much either, just wast of time.... get a life cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOH is about a topic, cigars. Facebook and Twitter is just the new town gossip. I wounder how much bulls##t there is on facebook, people who just want to show of to "friends" (real friends you meet/contact in the real world not looking at there profile) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wounder how much bulls##t there is on facebook, people who just want to show of to "friends" (real friends you meet/contact in the real world not looking at there profile) That is exactly what I tell my better half... there is, for us, a very fundamental point to FoH: it is a dynamic source of information on one of our favourite hobbies, with a welcomed side effect of camaraderie and laughter... IMHO, facebook, and other "social networking tools", are vehicles of banality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceChant Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I use Digsby for my IM's so monitoring twitter isn't something I need to specially do. And here link for Rob's page: http://twitter.com/friendsofhabano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
