You know what would be cool? Some software that could link up to a twitter account and then auto-twat for you. You could let it run all the time and it would just make up crazy stuff. Something like that WTF article way back about the neural net program that was used to generate a poetry ("The pig go. Go is to the fountain. The pig put foot", etc). Better yet if the program could create twitter accounts, and just let it rip. See who ends up following it. Laugh. Profit!!

I wrote something like that on April 1st a couple of years back. Even built in auto-replies. Worked great - people followed me, i replied to their replies, posted random stuff, and didn't have to actually use the thing at all. Still kinda pointless though.

Yeah, I encountered that as well. I think the scam is that if you follow enough people, a certain percentage of them will feel obligated to follow you back, whether they're really interested in you or not. Don't really see the point in that other than the fact that it inflates your numbers and makes you look (or feel) important. I deal with it by looking at their numbers when they follow me. If they're following 7000 people and are followed by 7000 people, it pretty much tells the story.

True, but you could program it to become more and more obscure, demented, etc. Perhaps that's where Skynet actually evolved from - a collection of Twitter Auto-Twats that gradually became self aware!

So, I joined Twitter, because I needed to, to enter into a contest. Now I get people following me every day, and they are all basically advertisements. What a joke. Twitter seems dumb to me anyhow, people seem to use it to follow celebrities, who then post what they eat and when it leaves their bodies.

Surely you knew this long before now.

I don't get Twitter at all. I'm late to the Facebook party, but I love it no that I finally have an account. Twitter on the other hand, seems incredibly pointless to me.
I didn't get any requirements for the signature

The hype of twitter is still overtaking the reality of twitter quite a bit. Don't worry though, they'll attempt to monetize it real soon and it will be as dead as the Alta Vista search engine.

The trick is you have to find celebs that post interesting stuff. Adam Savage[^]) and Grant Imahara[^] from MythBusters are my personal faves right now.
