Hi, I'm baggss, and I'm a MF veteran. Now that you "know" me. read my sig line. Now you know someone who doesn't.

;D

I'm even better. I have never used twitter. I think it's just like an sms but online. Kinda pointless. But millions of others don't though ;D

I have to disagree with several here. I do not think Twitter is super dumb. I think a LOT of people use it in dumb ways...but if you use it wisely i.e. being careful who you follow, and what you post, it can be a cool service. Still, I completely respect those that find it to be stupid because I did for a long time too.

I strongly disagree that it is a fad. I think it, or something evolved from it, is here to stay.

I can't see why Apple would want to purchase it, but maybe they are just in the mood to spend some money...I assume everyone heard about lala (is that the right name for the service they bought)?

They could probably integrated with some of their products but like I said earlier, there is no profit in that. Spending $700 million on Twitter would be lost money.

:Confused: Umm yea your totally right, Apple is going to spend 700 million dollars on Twitter and lose money. What your saying doesnt make any sence have faith in Apple, im sure if this statement of buying Twitter is true they have hundreds of good reason's for doing so, and loosing money not being one of them. :Confused:

I don't see any thing in Twitter but maybe another web service.
