Contrary to your common idiotic opinions that "Twitter is a waste of bandwidth" "nobody cares if you are drinking coffee" the service is bar none the most effective way to drive TRAFFIC, generate leads, create fantastic networking events etc. Get off your high-horse and log out of your stupid ass Facebook account for a few minutes and think beyond the borders of your limited mind and understand the positives Twitter provides. Don't want to use the damn service? Good for you, shut your damn mouth and tune the fuck out. All you stupid Twitter haters just don’t get it.
