lol
think of it as a giant forum where you can talk to just about anyone.
No one uses it to say what they are doing (or at least no one I follow) but use it to highlight news / info / gadgets / gossip etcIt like a giant xdc forum and is proving to be very useful (how many of our posts simply point to something of interest / funny stuff with one line of comment!!)
As you expect it is only as good as the people you follow. Follow stupid people and you get stupid stuff back. follow people who are knowledgeable in their fields and you get an update of the latest happenings in those fields which would otherwise take you ages to find.
with Tweetdeck you can group all your contacts by aquaintance. eg all education related stuff goes in one panel, friends go in another panel so you dont just have one long stream to wade through.
you can also subscribe to news feeds etc so it becomes a giant rss reader.
oh and you can be useless and tell people what you are eating but that is a good way to lose all your followers.
give it shot for a while. here are some interesting people to follow:

TV Versity is… ok… Just wish I had got faster powerline adapters to stream movies without Judder… Bum!
I agree with Tooth – I want to just Turn on, Tune in, and rock out!
That said, I am currently on a drive to finance a new rig… If my ebay sales work out, I will have about £200 for it, and hopefully around £600 in June ish… whoop whoop!
so thats the graphics card covered what about the rest of the system?
I know what toothy means.. there are some good reasons for consoles.. there is also no advantage given to rich bastards who can spend 2k on a new rig every 6 months.. everyone has the same playing platform.
having said that there is no way I would want to play with one of the blasted controllers.. I have tried and it sucks.
this is not meant to a be a pro wii post but introduce the point and shoot capabilities of the wii controller and suddenly you have a console control system that is not just as good as keyboard and mouse but way better.. I have not played it yet but they claim that Res Evil 4 on the wii is the definitive RE4 experience due to the wii control system… now if xbox got wii controllers… this might be something worth having.
“I have come to the conclusion that by reason of the prolonged, deliberate, repeated and highly dangerous driving for which you have pleaded guilty, only an immediate custodial sentence can be justified…..”
… but seeing that you are a peer of the realm we’ll call it a couple of weeks and quits.

I’ve come to a conclusion recently, which goes some way to explaining why previously sane PC gamers can play FPS on consoles (something that’s been bugging me for a while). FPS on consoles, is retro PC gaming made socially acceptable.
it’s sad you guys are wasting so much time with them, as we could have such a blast with some of the games on steam these days.
lol what he said!
come on guys ditch the joy pads and reach for your keyboards

WTF is this spotify thing all about??
Its amazing!
I’m still looking for a catch. But can’t see it.
I was thinking of buying the MGMT album and fancied hearing a few of the tracks on it… found spotify and have just streamed the entire album… for free…. and totally legally! (I know I know… just google it and you will see its true.)
Well worth a look.

Any other amazing internet services I may have missed?
my twitter stream has been going nuts about spotify for a while now.. i have finally got around to looking at and err funk me indeed its a bit clever
