Twitter is as important, or more so, than any single or conglomerate of websites, including Facebook, for news of the world. |

Twitter language makes no sense to me. I tried it for a while and got sick of hearing what everyone was doing every minute of the day. Swimming through all the worthless post for the occasional nugget seems like a waste.

I knew you would. I'll swim through your list on my own though.
EDIT Kari Wuhrer eh?

at chiefzilla. I look at those posts and just go "wall of text"... Next post". I signed up in 2007. If I'm not mistaken, I think Ari started a thread about Twitter around that same time. Like you Dane, I follow major news outlets, favorite writers in sports, and some folks who interest me around the world. It's actually how I found out about the tsunami in Japan as my feed went freaking nuts at 0200 that morning. I woke up trying to find it on the news but it wasn't announced for another twenty minutes. Incredible medium for sure. |

Anyway, it was all good back in the day, but I feel like it's going the same route of facebook and becoming passe and past the curve. Reddit/pinterest/instagram all seem to be a little more "cutting edge" at the moment, though I'm not really that interested in them either. In all honesty, I'm a little sick of social media, though I maintain an observational interest and keep up with the trends. I guess I'm getting old and out of touch or something.

Plus, the pressure to say something witty or important is a little daunting, especially considering some of my followers. |

Let me clarify. I don't think the Chiefs organization, nor 80% of our fans understand what kind of potential Twitter has. Nor do I think they understand it's use today. Most of our fans cannot grasp the possibilities that social media presents. Look at the response against ari on the Chiefs websites. |

Kansas City itself has a problem with critical thinking. These are the same people who thought it was a good idea to polish a turd in the middle of nowhere with tax payer money and spend millions on a shitty science exhibit. The whole leadership of Kansas City has been a failure if people can't critically think about that stuff I wouldn't expect them to question their beloved sports teams. |
