Twitter is the worst thing to happen to humanity since flared trousers. The world will be undeniably better off when it dies.
Not sure it will TBH. Well not the concept of Twitter anyway. It is just the easiest way to communicate and quickly share information.
And show off.

Call me old fashioned but if people want to communicate they should do it by scribe and papyrus.

Seriously I really dislike twitter, not just because of the bollocks factor but people (ie: players) say things on the spur of the moment that they regret and can get abused on it.

Yes, but the fact that there is now a direct link between players and fans shows why Twitter is unique. There will always be a flip-side to these things but that is the way it is. You have to take the good with the bad.

I'm not a fan of Twitter but when it comes to the worst thing to happen to humanity surely it comes some way behind Joey Barton.

To extend the metaphor though, no one is asking the americans to get rid of guns altogether, just put stricter restrictions in place on who can use them.  A similar system with Twitter would be nice.

On topic please let this be true!

For the none clicky people, it's a Mat Kendrick story linking us to Sissoko.

twitter is a brilliant tool used correctly, i put out a tweet last week for a ticket for bradford, i asked all the kingswinford lions club followers to retweet it and for them to ask all of those to retweet as well. this was a brilliant way of getting thousands to see the request and by 3 pm on the day of the match i had 6 come back with available tickets. superb!
