Farts resonate too; sometimes they even reverberate.

Is this possibly the reason that when I just now logged into Twitter to see some of these exciting new ads the very first thing I see across the top is Real Time Results for "Jesus I Love You" -- save this search"? Because that's not exactly "useful to you".

Amazing. Shocking. Incroyable.

I just went onto Twitter to see what had changed and, OH, wouldn't you believe it?

I never signed up for Twitter! So I wanted to mention this on my Facebook.

Then I realized that I couldn't access that private internets, either, because I never signed up to it.

Shucks. I just use the public internets. That makes me so 1.0.

Telsa, I only signed up for Facebook last night, and it was more out of necessity than anything. And I do not, and never will, do Twitter.

If it makes you feel any better, I noticed while I was on FB that, while Dan Savage is signed up, he has no friends.

Facebook serves no "necessity" that a land-line telephone can't

Facebook is a great place to post Nina Hagen videos.

Twitters is great because Pbobs and Megan tweet interesting things.

HUH WHAT TWOOTER WHATS THAT

@5 If we only did things out of necessity, then we likely wouldn't even have land-line telephones.

@5, good food serves no necessity that gruel can't. Clothing serves no necessity that a burlap sack can't. Your house serves no necessity that a hole in the ground can't. Art, music, literature, sex, booze -- that ol' "necessity" argument eliminates 99.99% of what makes life interesting. Is Facebook in there? Well, apparently for 400 million people, yes, it does. Are they dumber than you? Hmm.

Fnarf is correct. And by the way, a business website that I use extensively was down for a server upgrade and all traffic was being re-directed to a Facebook group they had set up, so yeah, it was kind of a necessity.

Simply mocking the ubiquitous "I am better than facebook, but am forced to have one because I have no other way to get in touch with people I spoke to once in high school" defense. If you think that social networking is for the cretins, why waste your time?

I still like Twitter better than Facebook, because my entire family and people I went to 4th grade with can't find me.

This should be no surprise. Twitter has to make money somehow, unless it is run as a charity.

Apparently they now feel like they have a big enough base that they can sell ads. Duh.

I don't like ads any more than anyone else, but I'm not the least bit surprised by this.

@6: Ah but so is the Toob (This was the only video version that counted, really. All the others were hacks.)

@9: Good food can give you an orgasm. Gruel can't.
15
Also, I am not following any businesses or organizations, just my friends. I haven't really noticed any change.
16
I am horrified that a for-profit website would even attempt to make money.
17
I am horrified at how many of you don't seem to get the joke. Thanks for playing anyway!

@17: It kind of helps if your post is actually clever and/or funny, Grant.
19
I don't know how to do that, Baconcat.
20
But you're trying, and that's all that matters!
21
You mean like all those flashy ads on the right side of SLOG?

Shame on them.
22
@19, oh come on, you linked to Bebo. That's funny.
23
Thank you, Fnarf. I was really starting to get discouraged (seriously).
24
@22: Don't say that name.

Please wait...
