i feel the same way about twitter! Just text me, don’t feel the need to share your text with the whole world! Can anyone elaborate on why this is cool?
I honestly don’t understand Twitter either. I don’t understand its purpose or its popularity.
I can’t agree more with you two. I cannot get into it, nor do I understand the point. Is it just a way for celebrities to mass “text” their every move to people?
@K, @Elle, @lo — for me, it’s a fun way to share funny things as they happen … like this: http://twitpic.com/3svaj ;)
lol nice. I’ll admit I signed up for twitter, and am following some people (including you, Trent) But I still haven’t quite figured it out yet. I’m working on it =)
I’ll one up you guys, I don’t get texting either. In my day we called people or shot them an IM. I realize that makes me sound 50, but at 25 I guess I’m just not cool enough to waste time with that little keyboard.
Oh and Britney doesn’t have the capacity to testify for an hour but she has the capacity to endure the stress of traveling around the country and performing every night? Right, that makes perfect sense.
@Ally There’s quite a difference between performing in front of thousands and testifying/discussing a taumatic event, especially when it is personal and concerning a dangerous individual like these shady characters.
This site has gone to shit. Lately many stories are about vacuous celebrities who do nothing to earn their money. Honestly Trent, you’re really trolling superficiality at it’s worst.
Levi Johnston needs to shaddup already.
@Trent: Yeah, I get it for people who are famous and have lots of people interested in their daily activities and minutia of life… or people who are semi-famous like you! : P But for we “regular people”, it just seems really random.
@Ally: Texting on the other hand… such a good way to get your message across without having to blab a bunch on the phone! <3
I was able to catch Elton’s show a couple days ago… it was really good.
