Way to go Mr Strawman!
Did I say twitter was bad? Quote me! Did I say Zero Hedge was good? Quote me!
On second thought, just go away and take your lies with you.

Thanks for the bump from an otherwise useless post.
As of this post there were 210 viewings. Only 3 were mine.
So I hope that some people have gleaned some information from the stories.

"Thanks for the bump from an otherwise useless thread."
"So no twitter account then - no first hand knowledge. I guess I understand that, what with it being free and easy to sign-up for."
So - changing my post and ad hominems.

"How about preserving your answer to the simple question: do you have a twitter account?"
Off-topic trolling.

"G", CONGRATULATIONS!
As I scroll thru this thread, I see that you have logged the most pointless, vacuous posts of anyone! YOU GET A PRIZE! I have no idea what it is ... TWITTER-DEFENDER, maybe ... but surely you deserve something for your obdurate refusal to think!

You think Twitter makes you informed? Intelligent? Able to express your thoughts in 140 characters or less ...because you have less than 140 characters-worth of thought? Able to consume the latest bon mot, or kitty-picture, or shit-storm, or propaganda with speed? It's the perfect medium for people with the attention-span of a goldfish. So congrats... you've devolved to something even less than a sheep. Maybe, with effort, you'll go all the way back to planaria (flatworms). If I were you, I'd look into that.
ETA: G, since you seem to think that Twitter is the latest godsend, please explain for us what Twitter is good for ... BESIDES GOSSIP .... in 140 characters, or less.

You're addicted to Twitter and newsfeed. You mistake immediacy for meaning.
Quote:It is also a remarkable tool for spreading propaganda, of which it seems to be about 50%.
Twitter is another information tool, not the latest Godsend.
Quote:Maybe you should reflect on that. Sometimes, only a large number of characters can express a large idea. Are you prejudiced against large ideas? Is your mind is shut off to anything over 140 characters?
Seems like a simple concept. Obviously, the number of characters means nothing if your mind is shut off.
Quote:Oh my aching back. Most of "Arab Spring" tweets were traced back to ... wait for it ... Israel. Twitter is like any other tool, and it's been well-used for propaganda as well as "truth". There is nothing INHERENTLY virtuous about it.
Given it's history of breaking truths and honesty
Quote:That's what it seems to be used for most of the time.
It's really not surprising that you'd think it's only good for gossip.
Quote:Yes, and sometimes that "someone" is corporate media, or some state entity somewhere, or some security agency, or some advertiser. Really, what is it that a vendor really wants??? For their tweet or vid to go "viral".
Maybe you need more hand holding? Everything you read starts with someone. It's not a trick observation.
Quote:So, have you tried encompassing the history of the western world in 140 characters lately?
I know for someone like you who likes to use as many words as possible to say absolutely nothing, 140 characters can seem a bit miserly. But, to the open minded it's more than enough. Remember: users can tweet more than once!
Quote:
Here it is again:
Information starts with people.
Or governments. Or corporations. Or small businesspeople. Or security agencies. Or think tanks. Or NGOs. And somehow, you think we're all "equal" in the twittersphere!

I am now ready for your next lie.
Well, I'm not lying, but I know who is.
Yanno what? I read tweets, I do. SOMETIMES Twitter comes up with valuable information. But in my POV, the most democratizing technology and medium has been the cellphone video and Youtube. Twitter is mostly a platform for gossip and advertising and propaganda.
Information comes from people, but MEANING comes from analysis and synthesis. Not just the goldfish reaction of gobbling down whatever gets sprinkled on the surface.
So, let me make myself pellucidly clear: Twitter is ONE form of communication. It is highly limited by size, and thoroughly open to propaganda. There is nothing either inherently wrong or right about it, but it cannot convey complex ideas.

Yes, it's what you do or try to do. To others who've posted here in the past anyway. It's what Trump does. It's what Jack unknowingly does. It's what 1kiki would still be doing if she wasn't dead. And you use sources like zerohedge to help you do it.

What are you even talking about, dude.
Tell me the last time that you've been right about anything.
Meanwhile 95% of my predictions in the last year have come true.
Dream on.
