Who Uses Twitter and What's the Point of It?

Ask a Question

Who uses twitter and what's the point of it? There's a 280 character limit which isn't enough except for short prose.

I only occasionally use it for entering competitions. Apart from that, I am not bothered about it.

I use it periodically (Facebook), but there are many trolls and narcissists on there.

Twitter is Ok, but it can get very toxic very quickly.

I tend to just use it as a news feed for sports and entertainment, and rarely tweet myself.

I've won quite a lot of competitions on twitter. Also, If you are interested in music, sports, cinema, brands, etc it's a good way of getting info/links for release dates, new products, offers, etc

Good to hear that people have won on the Twitter comps, I have entered so many lol would have hoped for a win by now! They are really easy to enter though so probably why I haven’t won yet x

I use it for comps and also for product trials. Most companies want social media accounts for those and that's why I have those. I don't use social media for sharing anything about my life. I do use twitter sometimes for commenting on a tv but that's not often.

Twitter is where the party is at. Facebook is where people post photos of their kids.

You'd be surprised how much can be written in 280 characters.
