quote:using your logic, why do you bother to post anything anywhere. using your words, why would we care about MichealP's random and meaningless experiences. in our age of 'more, quicker, faster, but stripped down', twitter is the equivalent of a personal forum. if you found someone or something of interest that twitters, then you join and follow that person/thing.. just like this board.
i personally dont have a problem with someone using twitter, facebook, wu's board, msn/yahoo/aim, etc. and i dont have a problem with someone else who doesnt use it. my quote and comment after was meant in relation to your signature.
forums are places for discussion, people seek input and opinions which normally have a main topic, female feet in this forums case
twitter is just posting random thoughts that have absolutely nothing to do with anything that is relevant, just a way for people to make themselves feel important
tell me a girl posting about some guy commenting on her feet isn't trying to validate her appearance to her "followers"
it's seems kinda pathetic but that's just my opinion
quote:]you dont express opinions. you choke people to death with 'facts'. i remember when i first started reading your posts and i agreed with quite a few of your opinions, but i've come to see you state your 'opinion' and will argue with anyone who disagrees til they agree or they lose interest and give up. FACT: twitter is for losers FACT: reading twitter comments about FF losers makes everyone else insecure. FACT: if only we were all like Mikey, we, too, could be cool and popular and have all the women.
ok, you never said that last one, but thats my personal opinion.
every day there is a new thread about some random every day girl posting negative opinions of the foot fetish
why look for this stuff when it is clearly making them feel bad and insecure about their fetish? you really don't think it's making them feel bad about themselves?
like i always say, if a woman likes you she will let you indulge your fetish, unless she has some extreme foot hangup
the more they read these negative comments from random attention whores, the less they will believe that, heck i remember years ago reading comments from guys that couldn't even tell their own wife they had a foot fetish, that's pretty sad in my opinion
do you twitter? if so, why?

Can anyone tell me what is so special about the twitter lifestyle? Are we that far up in our own asses that we really think people actually give a damn about what we’re doing *every* minute of the day?
-- 7:00pm: Just joined twitter. Sweet. Now I can keep a log of every worthless thing that happens to me. -- 7:01pm: I just realized that no one really cares about what I do, and if they do, they should really get a life. -- 7:02pm: My last post on twitter. Now I can get back to actually living my life.
If you are one of these people who love updating your social circle on every petty thing that happens in your life, then perhaps you can share some insight as to why you think people actually care.
Don’t get me wrong, I try and embrace all I can with new technological trends and whatnot, and I understand that twitter has been around for some time, but come on, why do you feel the need to jot every little meaningless detail of your life? I mean, who really cares about what you just finished eating, or what you just finished watching, or that your cat just took a piss on your favorite pair of jeans?!
Let me get this straight, you get on twitter, you get a bunch of your dumbest friends to join, then you can all share what you are doing with an up-to-the-minute relay of your meaningless life? Whatever happened to the telephone, or even a visit to a friend's house, or an old-fashioned blog post?
Do you think people before twitter really cared about what their friends were doing at every given moment?
I know I'm not alone on this. Can anyone understand why they feel the need to let their “social circle” know what is happening? If you are a twitter user, then maybe you can shed some light, because I really don’t get it.
Besides, Micheal P is correct: If the girl really digs you, she'll indulge in your love for feet. I bet it's those guys who lurk around children playgrounds are the ones making us look creepy. I hear about the negative stereotypes about us and it does not phase me one bit. Not one. Why? Because she can't get enough of me. Once she gets to know how cool I am, all those negative stereotypes she's heard about foot fetishists go right down the toilet. Guys with no game are the ones constantly worrying about the negative comment that ONE girl made. Fuck her (metaphorically AND literally speaking) and get back to your life the way it was meant to live.

By the way: Foot Fetishism should not be mainstream. Otherwise we'll look like the weirdos who think that faceless models should be in the Hall of Fame.

yep, i use it daily. not as daily as some friends of mine, but i post something everyday. it's just notihing more then keeping up with the social networking trends. twitter is silly by way of the fact that it's 1/4 of what facebook (and now myspace) offers. it's a site entirely of status updates, which is why i find it stupid. but everyone's got one, so why not give it a try.

again Mikey, you post your opinions as facts. i think we need we need to send you back to school to learn some elementary basics. FACT: something that it real, it exists, its actual and undisputable. i.e. the earth is round, gravity exists, at 32deg F in normal atmosphere water freezes and at 212deg it boils, etc OPINION: a personal conclusion held without proof, a personal belief. i.e. paris hilton is a ugly skag, women's feet are really hot, facebook is for dating.
maybe the problem doesnt lie in the fact that you have differing opinions, but how judgementally you state them. your scorn for others opinions is really distasteful and is no better than the women who scorn us for our preference for pretty feet.
you condemn anyone who uses twitter because you dont agree with how some people use it, but its a tool. no more, no less. yes, i use twitter and i can, for fact, tell you that you are utterly and totally wrong in your opinion that i am "posting random thoughts that have absolutely nothing to do with anything that is relevant". dont believe me? check it out. http://twitter.com/celebrityfet4us not like you being proven wrong will change anything i suppose. i use it to promote my site as do alot of other people, but your blanket statement doesnt allow for that.
quote:you really don't think it's making them feel bad about themselves?
if they do, then they have issues regardless. i read them and they dont make me feel bad about myself. i do get annoyed that there so many creeps out there that make women uncomfortable in general. how appropiate is it to make comments like they do? regardless if its about feet or boobs or ass, it's socially inept. unfortunately, i do feel it reflects on me especially because i do share something in common with a douche like that.

another snap judgement. hmmm.. kinda like how these women on twitter think we're all a bunch of perverted wierdos because of a few guys. i'm disappointed, but then again, the net is full of people who do the same thing.
and i am doubly pissed at you two for making me having to defend twitter. wtf! first i have to defend lady gaga cause someone makes an out-his-ass comment based on song titles alone and now i have to defend mother f'ing twitter. keep it up and i will just give up and let the judgemental bastards shoot their mouths off to their self-inflated egos content.... btw, thats not a fact, it's just my happy little opinion. have a nice day.

Nusuth, no matter how flat you make a pancake there will always be two sides of it. You can't be disappointed or pissed at me for saying what I said. There has got to be some truth to why people are so down on Twitter. Otherwise these criticisms would not exist. You are the *very, very, very rare exception* of how to use Twitter without making yourself look like a person who is nothing more than meat with eyes after having been melted by the sun. That was the first (and, most likely, the last) time I'll see a twitter page that does not have meaningless garbage expressed all over it. You have your side of why Twitter is useful. Here's the other side of why Twitter is plan stupid:
-- Why would I care if you're walking down the stairs because the elevator's broken?
-- Just another opportunity to interrupt real-world social interactions.
-- Enabling attention-deficit disorder sufferers doesn't seem a like a particularly good idea these days, does it?
-- Gives NPR Weekend Edition host Scott Simon an excuse to let listeners do his job for him by tweeting suggested interview questions.
-- Created to give Starbucks a way to send us all today's list of special coffees.
-- I have enough media to monitor, thank you very much.
-- What part of "trivial" don't you understand?
-- Maybe if we weren't paying so much attention to our iPhones and Blackberries, we'd notice that the planet is going to hell in a handbasket.
-- Patience is a virtue (at times, at least).
-- Chances are, I heard already, because I'm paying attention to original sources, not nth-generation tweets.
-- Why does every new internet tool have to come with a stupid name?
-- On the other hand, "twit" seems like the appropriate term.
-- Moby-Dick.
-- Depending on what's going on in the loop, being left out of it can be a good thing.
-- When was the last time you read a tweet that more than one person needed to see (other than Nusuth's)? Just send a text message, for crying out loud!
-- Civilization managed to survive for 10,000 years without it.
-- As if the signal-to-noise ratio on the web isn't low enough already.
-- Doesn't anyone else realize that we're already too reliant on telecommunications technology?
-- If all your friends jumped off a cliff, would you follow suit?
-- Unless my family is under siege in an Indian hotel, it can wait.
-- Really. It can wait. At least until I get back to the peace and quiet of my office.
-- Two words: Pet Rocks.
-- You don't see the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise engaged in anything analogous to tweeting, do you?
-- Makes "25 random things about me" seem like an intelligent use of what precious little free time most of us have left.
I don't see how anyone reading this can say that what I said was fallacious and completely "off the wall."

yes i am well aware that people (like you) use twitter to promote things, espn for example is on twitter but i don't understand why they would need it
we weren't talking about them, we're talking about the every day nobody attention whores that post random thoughts about nothing, although maybe they are using it to promote their myspace page to get dates
take a deep breath and relax, it ain't that serious

of course its not that serious. the subject is fairly irrelevant compared to the underlying message, but i can see that it's falling on deaf ears so i'll not waste any more time trying to open eyes and minds.

Hey - you cannot correct the Gods of the board; National and Mike P...they know no wrong man...haven't you learned yet?
Are you trying to say that every letter of every word I've said about why Twitter sucks is based on 100% pure speculation and that my take on it is all absolutely, 100%, Grade-A false? Nothing I said about this is anywhere within the realms of the truth? Twitter is absolutely, positively, nothing like the negative views I bring forth to the debate?
If the answer to any of these questions is no or "well, that depends on...", then I've made some sense in where I stand on Twitter.
Like I said before: No matter how flat you make a pancake, there's always two sides to it. That means that there HAS to be something that's good about Twitter. I already gave credit to Nusuth. But I don't think that was enough for him when he said that Michael and I are completely close-minded on the issue *after* we said that he uses Twitter in a way that was beneficial. See, there is some good to Twitter. Not much good, but some good, nonetheless.
But my overall take remains the same: Twitter sucks!

I don't have a Twitter account, but I did for a while. My account broke, and I didn't love the Twitter experience enough to go through the hassle of creating a new one and re-"following" all of my friends/acquaintances. It was kind of fun while it lasted, though.
I can understand why someone would hate Twitter, and I can understand why someone would love it.
However, like it or not, this is the 21st century. Many of us have probably been surfing the 'net since the mid-to-late 90s. Since entering the digital age, we have been experiencing an unprecedented evolution in human communication. As humans spend an increasing proportion of their time online, it is only natural that we will seek out novel ways to share our thoughts online and thus nurture our need to feel connected to the world and those around us. Hence, the diversification of online communication should come as no surprise to anyone (from pre-internet BBSes, to internet message boards and guestbooks, to MySpace/Facebook social networks and Twitter). It is an age of accelerated communications experimentation, the likes of which we have never seen, as this time around it is fueled in part by corporate and advertising interests.
There will inevitably be a plethora of styles, communication 'niches', to suit everyone's tastes, moods, or present station in life. It only makes sense.
That is why I think this knee-jerk, outright condemnation of one online social network over another is missing the point. From the standard "Uses and Gratifications" model of Media Theory, all of these online tools are fulfilling the same needs and providing the same gratifications for the user. The only difference is the means and the style by which these needs are fulfilled. We are all in the same boat, looking for a sense of connection and validation, regardless of which tool we choose to employ.
Twitter may seem inherently more vacuous, but it's simply a tool like any other. Sure, a lot of fools seem to use it, but that can be said about the internet in general. And if one chooses to "follow" only friends, and one's friends happen to be intelligent, who cares about random Joe Idiot and why he uses it, and what he thinks is worth sharing with the world? You are safely sequestered away from his and anyone else's bullshit, and have thus successfully utilized the tool to a positive end.
I also think there's a misconception in this thread about the limits of Twitter. It's not as though one is obligated by law to only post updates about one's banal activities. My "Twitter feed" -- the "tweets" from those I chose to follow at the time -- was an entertaining melange of updates on friends' lives (of course); random, often funny thoughts; and informative links to things of interest, among other things. Oh, the evil!

Why is everyone obssessed about making foot fetishism "mainstream"? Is it because you want to feel "normal"? A foot fetish will never be considered "mainstream" no matter how famous they are. Women won't start jerking you off with their feet instead of hands because celebs like it. lol

Hahahahaha Agreed man! I mean...one thing I can say - I'm sure many men like the "underground" feeling of foot fetishism; for example - even the layout to Wu's is appealing...the black and white...makes it all seem wrong and exciting...lol
