I thought the discussion about Twitter (see J Angelo’s counter on Joab) was over until Steve Rubel of Micropersuasion (a PR executive) published an open letter of apology to Jim Louderback (Editor-in-Chief of PC Magazine) about his comment on Twitter:
I think Steve should have posted a 140-character apology on Twitter and not his blog. *snicker*
Imagine if other more influential people would use Twitter?
Gloria Macapagal Arroyo on Twitter: Sana natuluyan na asawa ko. Puro kamalasan na lang kase.
First Gentlemen Jose Miguel Arroyo on Twitter: Good thing ‘di ako binisita ng kabit ko sa hospital! Natuluyan sana ako.
US Vice President Dick Cheney: Not sure how to beat Obama and Hilary. I should invite them duck hunting.
US President George Bush: Losing approval rating… need more oil… maybe bomb Kuwait next. Think, think.
Ok, ‘nuf of this Twitter thing. *hehehe*

C’mon Abe… join us in the dark side…
Rickey says:
C’mon Abe, what’s up with the Twitter hate?
It’s just a different way of using IM, making announcements, etc.
I used it for a week, and then it started getting too slow, so I don’t post as frequently.
The whole idea for me was, I have the plug-in on my blog and when I’m away from my computer I could just text a quick message from my phone to give an update of what I’m doing. No complicated log-ins and setups.
It’s really so simple except that they weren’t able to scale themselves fast enough.
You don’t have to use it, but it’s a really great service if it was more reliable.

I’m partially with sir abe. I hardly follow the latest tweets from my friends, I just visit the links they share, the sites they visit etc. but actually engage in a conversation on twitter? I’d rather use YM or Gtalk for that. :D
Abe Olandres says:
@ Rickey
No, I don’t hate Twitter. I actually like reading Twitters of fellow Pinoy bloggers, including yours! :)
@ Migs
I’m this close to joining Twitter. :)
Noemi says:
Twittering is like taking a break from work.
juantanamera says:
Cmon, have you given it a try? We’re waiting for you “on the dark side”.
Abe Olandres says:
The force of the dark side is strong… must resist… must blog.
Christian DeVera says:
Look for spam accounts to infest Twitter. Get a hot chick as your avatar add a bunch of guys as your friends (they will add you because your hot). Twitter some sexy things and then some affiliate links that are converted to tinyurl links.
Jaypee says:
I didn’t know Twitter was the dark side..hehe :D
JC John SESE Cuneta says:
There are better Twitter alternatives… I’m sure Abe is familiar with those ;)
If you want to text to your site… Twitter is not the ultimate solution :p
