- Pointless babble « Stephen Fry on Twitter
- “The clue’s in the name of the service: Twitter. It’s not called Roar, Assert, Debate or Reason, it’s called Twitter. As in the chirruping of birds. Apparently, according to Pears (the soapmakers…– certainly their “study†is froth and bubble) 40% of Twitter is “pointless babbleâ€, (http://is.gd/2mKSg) which means of course that a full 60% of Twitter discourse is NOT pointless babble, which is disappointing. Very disappointing. I would have hoped 100% of Twitter was fully free of earnestness, usefulness and commercial intent. Why do these asinine reports jump onto a bandwagon they don’t understand and why do those reporting on them relate with such glee that a service that was never supposed in the first place to be more than gossipy tittle-tattle and proudly banal verbal doodling is “failing to deliver meaningful commercial or political contentâ€. Bollocky bollocks to the lot of them. They can found their own “enterprise oriented†earnest microblogging service. Remind me to avoid it.”
