  Enjoy! (Or not)

  t was merely a matter of time: Twitter, the latest social networking phenomenon, appears to have sparked its first libel action. And perhaps inevitably, singer Courtney Love, well known for sounding off online, is at its centre.

  Fans of Twitter say its beauty is that it allows users to upload their thoughts as and when they think of them. This can be a serious disadvantage for those of a belligerent disposition. Ms Love's angry "tweets" against her former fashion designer, Dawn Simorangkir, have landed her in court.

    yeah, i know it can be quite practical, just not when you 'send a white dogshit' to someone you barely knew 15 years ago... i just found it too imposing, easier for my reclusive self to just not go there at all...
    at least myspace doesnt ask me what i'm doing right now, but i hardly check that anymore either, once a week or so is plenty...

      great tool for business, like organising events and letting people know.

      its a trojan horse you beinghacked with all teh apps which people blindly use even though fakebook dont have anything to do with them.

      its what you do with it that matters, not what you 'should'do

        Tons of time-wasting bullshit on Facebook that's meant for people who only just recently learned of the internet's existence. Still, it does have it's good and practical points. A good way for me to stay in touch with my pals, especially the ones who don't live close by. The new design really does suck though. Looks exactly like Twitter.
