How lame.
I'm guessing it's because Manchester City were leading Birmingham 3-1 at half time.
Edit: Seriously though, and I'm probably sad for looking up the score etc. there was an unusual rush of goals just before half time in that game so it might've caught the attention. The first goal came in the 38th minute and after 43 it was 3-1.
'Sat at desk in tears over MJ's sad demise'
Just to explain, I wasn't really. The next tweet a minute later read:-
'Have now recovered and am no longer in tears'.
All a bit shite really.
Never had twitter!
"I want Jeanie Civil as my own personal daily motivator."
I'd completely forgotten that. Apparently she's some sort of training guru - she's been in and done a really good training session on one of our staff training days, and I came away all enthused for at least the rest of the day. That was in October 2010. I have no idea what she talked about, what she said, or what I took away from that session.
LOL feel free to imagine what tweet I was replying to
Aaaand nothing has changed.
I had to smile at your claim it's a "fad"

No clue what that was about, bit of an odd first tweet too, but I tend to just tweet streams of consciousness. Occasionally, I'm entertaining, but it's rare!
I've been on twitter for almost 6 years...bit of a long fad don't you think?
Yes, no space between his username and 'not'. No wonder why he never responded. Heh.

That's really awful I can't believe I sent that
I guess so. To me it seems a very clumsy way of exchanging information. Apparently, you're limited to 240 characters to a reply, which is no good to me in many cases and it's full of @this @that. I'm all for embracing new technology, but twitter has yet to give me that wow factor, so I'm leaving it alone for the time being.
Joining this so called phenomenon. Unconvinced but we'll see.'

It's less, it's 140 characters. I like that tweets are so concise, people can't ramble on and have to get straight to the point. Unfortunately it also means use of abbreviations and text speak sometimes!
I'll be honest I used to think l this way also. To be fair I dont really tweet all that much anyway but use it primarily as a media source. When a major story breaks it's genuinely remarkable.
With regard to exchanging information I'd disagree totally, and actually argue that it's perhaps the fastest and easiest way for people to share information that's out there. If it wasn't then the likes of CNN, BBC News or any other major media organisation you care to mention, as well as all Blue Chip companies wouldn't have accounts that they often update faster than their own web pages.
You may be constricted to a character limit but this doesn't stop journalists, bloggers, joe public etc posting links and other such information, which is effectively being updated in real-time.
It's a remarkably clever marketing tool and the only downside I see are the morons who inhabit it's space, the cyber bullies, the weirdos and oddballs etc but then in it's defence you could argue that about many places on the internet.
