Why Twitter Sucks
Other May 18th, 2007
Why does everybody LOVE twitter?! Give me a break! I’ve finally found somebody (James Thomas) at CenterNetworks, who hates twitter as much as me. His article goes on to talk about an alternative, Corel Wordperfect Lightning, but that’s not what I want to talk about.
The Reasons I Hate Twitter:
- I don’t give a crap about what other people are doing. If you’re bored enough to go on twitter, then why would I care about your boring life?
- Every other 2 posts are in another language. I don’t know what language it is, but I do know that 99% of the time I can’t read 65% of the text on Twitter.
- The Cutesy layout. The layout is all “bubbly” and light-blue and it just makes me sick. If I didn’t know any better I would think I was signing up for Hello Kitty Online!
- I can make it. This has got to be the simplest startup to write. I can do this in a day in PHP and MySQL.
I know Twitter isn’t anything new, but James’ article rekindled my hatred for Twitter once again and I had to share it.

Hmm … I should do a better job of marketing my site
I had a less-angry version of the same thing back in March ( http://www.j2fi.net/2007/03/06/another-short-lived-fad/).
That said, I haven’t seen any valid use for Twitter, either. But then, I don’t see a valid use for half the stuff online that seems to be trendy.

Couldn’t find any contact info so I’m posting this here.
Like the site. Came in from KillerStartups. Have to say i like suckystartups better. It’s good for a laugh.
Wondering why you are using a blog as your CMS instead of pligg like KillerStartups uses. Any reason?
Good luck to you.

I found Twitter more than a year ago when I had a similar idea to it. I would have been glad if it had actually been done as I would have liked it. But, NO!, they needed to make it *social*… that screwed the whole thing.
