Twitter is dumb.

Pro provided one reason why "Twitter is Dumb. " and that is "Twitter provides meaningless updates about people's lives that no one really cares about. " -My opponent failed to provide any definitions, so I will do that now. Twitter - a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing? . http://twitter.com... dumb - (my own definition) not cool/stupid/useless meaningless - without meaning, significance, purpose, or value; purposeless; insignificant . http://dictionary.reference.com... no one - no person; not anyone; nobody . http://dictionary.reference.com... really - genuinely or truly . http://dictionary.reference.com... care(s) - To be concerned or interested . http://dictionary.reference.com... "You can only post a status with 140 characters or less. This means that meaningfull posts are eliminated, you can only update people with the meaningless aspects of your life. Even if its Oprah or Lance Armstrong who are posting the statuses, it STILL REMAINS POINTLESS. Who really cares if you have to go to the bathroom or have a dentist appointment at 3:00 on Saturday? " 1. An old proverb says, "Good things come in small packages. " The proverb basically means quality over quantity. 2. You may think that Oprah or Lance Armstrong tweeting about going to the bathroom or dentist is pointless, but to other people it is not. But what about the Oprah fans have been watching the Oprah Winfrey every episode since 1986. Or what about the Lance Armstrong fans who have followed him closely through each of his 7 Tour de France victories? These people obviously would not find these points pointless. 3. What if a post just said "My mom died. . so sad. " That is only 21 characters, but a very meaningfull 21 characters. 4. What other way is there to follow your favorite celeb besides twitter? There is no other way. "It makes you feel like you're being stalked or something. .. especially if you're being followed by people you don't really know. " -Umm. .. that is the point. By making your twitter account public, you acknowledge that people you do not know will be following you. Twitter had been used extensively to cover popular events. They include: - The 2008 U. S. presidential campaigns - 2008 Mumbai attacks, in which eyewitnesses sent an estimated 80 tweets every 5 seconds as the situation unfolded - Israel became the 1st government to have a worldwide press conference via twitter on December 30, 2008 - The first criminal prosecution arising from Twitter posts began in April 2009 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. (If twitter posts were meaningless, would someone be arrested for it? ) - In May 2009, astronauts used twitter to keep updates of their Hubble Space Telescope repair mission, the first team it was used in space. - On May 23, Iran temporarily blocked social networking Web sites Facebook and Twitter, used in presidential campaigns by former Prime Minister Mir Hossein. (Once again, if twitter was meaningless, would the president of Iran block it? ) ---And many, many more. . http://en.wikipedia.org... "Pro said 'Twitter provides meaningless updates about people's lives that no one really cares about. '" -Twitter has an estimated monthly traffic of 21.9 million people. But you said "no one no one really cares about [twitter]. " 21.9 million people are obviously someone, they are not no one. . http://www.quantcast.com... That is it for now. I look forward to my opponent's argument.
