I joined to see what it was all about, but I'm really none the wiser.

I'll keep an eye on it. Facebook seems to be rapidly deteriorating into a feed of application announcements, which makes me realise what I actually valued about it was the status updates. Since that's what Twitter is all about maybe I'll migrate over one day, if enough of my friends were to go there.

Ditto to all of this -- it's kind of like Facebook status updates (which I found vaguely amusing and the only slightly appealing thing on Facebook) minus all the rest of the Facebook crap. But I actually look at Twitter very infrequently (even less often than I check Facebook) and do not use any of the mobile device features.

LiveJournal is still my online community networking space of choice (and large numbers of my Facebook friends and Twitter followers are people I met on LJ)

The only other thing I've used Twitter for is seeing really breaking news that's not anywhere else yet (like "yes, googlemail's central servers are down; it's not just your ISP")

Yep, this is me too. I'll post two or three times in one day and then forget about it for a week. Also, yeah about the FB thing. I'm really not likeing FB right now.

You can stop the flood of apps. When you see an app post, hover your cursor over it; this will bring up a button that says "Hide". Click on the button, and it should give you two options: Hide [person], and Hide [app]. Click on the second option, and you'll never see another post from that app again. I've been doing this for several weeks now, and my newsfeed is MUCH more pleasant to read.

Fantastic, thank you! Last time I clicked on "Hide", which I'm sure wasn't much over a week ago, the only thing there was to hide the person, not the app. That's so much better now!
