Furie Is Playing A New Game (Like You Give A Shit)

, ,

I've been reading a lot about games consoles gaining social media abilities over the past year and it's getting ridiculous. I mean seriously, if you're so addicted to Facebook or Twitter that you need to be notified of any new update even when relaxing with a video game then you really need to take a break from it all. And then I read about games being able to update your profiles with status updates and started getting annoyed. It's bad enough that you can barely do anything on the web without it getting automatically added to your Twitter account (I find it useful to have a second private account to use for these things) without getting the same premade update from your friends whenever they put a game in. It's ridiculous.

Of course, the boys over at Penny Arcade have a slightly different view of this phenomena...

I am glad I (alomst) never play games left

Along the same lines, I never quite grasped the concept of Twitter. Except for one girlie, what the hell does anyone give a shit what I'm doing on a minute-by-minute basis? And why would I care to tell everyone? Damn, half the time I don't even care and I'm the one doing whatever.

Done! faint. Remind me to never forget my twitter password again! faint.
It's a bloody nightmare to reset! scared.

Who said I read them? I just write them.
That would be too damn much trouble.

Breathe into this tube then step back and place your hands on the hood of the comment. left

If Twitter and Facebook had relied on me to make them successfull, they'd have failed! lol.

Here is what I found interesting recently. Okay, the name of the thing, the craze, the phenomenon is: Twitter
Why then aren't the updates called: Twits?
You know ... as in "I love my daily Twits."
That would make more sense than Tweets, wouldn't it?

And shouldn't the verb be "Twit?"
But, Nooooooo! They euphemistically change it to "Tweet."
People will be, "Do you Tweet? I Tweet all day long." They should shout it loudly and proudly as what it is, "Do you Twit? I Twit all day long!" scared left right

I guess saying you're addicted to Twitting would have too much of a bigeyes scared knockout doh connotation. lol

Hmmm? Or DO they say, "Twitting?"
Maybe I haven't paid attention. Or maybe both Twitting and Tweeting are used?

Dark FurieFurie Saturday, October 24, 2009 1:33:43 PM

The word twitter comes from the incessant sounds that birds make, also know tweeting. To twitter is to let out several tweets. To twit is to be an idiot, rather like those who believe that tweet is spelt "Twit" but said as "Tweet" based only on the name of the site and a base misunderstanding of extended syllables. Yeah, because the word was invented by that site. rolleyes Without sounding like Shakespeare mixed with Schrodinger there's nothing more I can do to explain it. up

Suntana Saturday, October 24, 2009 3:58:01 PM

Oh, I'm familiar with the idiot connection to Twit. There used to be this character on a TV show. Her name was Courtney. While she had her Fans, she also had a lot of detractors on the Message Boards who referred to her as "The Twit." scared

I just realized that on second thought, my recollection is incorrect in the 2nd part of my comment. People DON'T say, "Do you Tweet," right? They say, "Do you Twitter?"

Dark FurieFurie Saturday, October 24, 2009 6:51:29 PM

I think they'd have to meet new people in real life to say either and the ones capable of doing that don't really care if anyone else uses it.

Mad Scientistqlue Saturday, October 24, 2009 8:05:56 PM

In South Africa, to 'tweet' is upper-class slang for pharting! p.

Dark FurieFurie Saturday, October 24, 2009 8:53:48 PM

And that's hip hop slang for farting? p

Darkogdare Saturday, October 24, 2009 8:55:09 PM

lol

Mad Scientistqlue Saturday, October 24, 2009 10:19:13 PM

lol.
Nah! Just an alternate way of spelling it! p.
