i got an account. only to announce when i update POWERJEFF and give minor blurbs about where i am in the creative process for the upcoming pages.

ultimately, to get more readers for my comic. i'm a publicity whore that way. JsonTheGeek on there, by the way……

my life isn't that interesting aside from getting people to read PJ…..i don't think anyone gives a rat's ass about how many beers into the case i am or who and what i tattooed the day before…..

Most of the people that have twitters have no life. So their updates go something like this:

Fed cat.
Got hungry.
Ate cat.
Sharpened a pencil.
Tripped on my own feet.
Walked upstairs.
Hung noose on hook.
Got out chair.
Stepped up on top of chair.
Tied noose around neck.
Kicked chai-
Screw you! I don't need a signature! Oh wait…
since im here, check out my comics.

I recently joined Twitter. I want to use it for Demonhunter updates… but that means I have to update. XD

My twitter goes a little something like this…

Just made coffee and sat at computer

Sitting at computer

listening to music whilst sitting at computer

Sitting at computer while I should be drawing

Just farted on my computer chair

And pretty much that sums up the twitter experience for me thus far

add me anyway for comic updates and what not

I got rid of my Twitter account recently; I didn't really see a need for it. The stuff I need to say, I say it on Facebook.

I'm gonna assume that most of you have already seen this… but it's so bloody relevant to this topic.

Those were my two cents.

Wow, that cartoon was great!

I used to dislike blogs because of their tendency to give uninteresting people the chance to tell the internet how they feel about the latest American Idol or what their dog did. Now I hate Twitter for doing the same thing at an even more inane level.

I wouldn't mind it at all, except EVERYONE keeps talking about it, including people who are not very knowledgeable about computers. When your 46-year-old aunt is Twittering, you know it can't be THAT cool.

I apologize to those of you using Twitter and enjoying it. I don't look down on you. But please don't feel bad if I continue to come to this message board to hear your opinions rather than Twitter.

The animation was good, but as far as its application to Twitter goes- like most satire it doesn't: It just exaggerates an impression or idea of it for humorous effect. ;)

It's a form of network communication like forums, text messaging, phone calls, whatever. We can always characterise people as deluded wierdos for doing things we don't.
lol!

You should check out their Evite bit.

They also did Myspace but that was a long time ago.

I signed up for twitter, and then realized how little I have to say, especially to a vast abyss of no one.
I don't really like the whole idea, anyway. :(

I have this Twitter account, but I rarely update it. It makes more sense when you have a subscription on dA and can make your “tweets” appear there or put the feed on your often visited website. Anyway, people don't care about my twitter and only the ones who friended me on facebook ever read my notes there.

It is pretty much impossible to be interesting on Twitter unless you are famous, or whoever is following you has some intrinsic interest in you (like your friends). However, it is useful for announcing comic updates and stuff, which is why most of the people I follow on twitter are webcomic people. It gives me a nice way to keep up with their comics and a way to send them a quick comment. :]

Skool I am dedicating this song to you

No, my life is not interesting enough to warrant telling people what I'm doing at any given time.

This is a trait I share with everyone who uses Twitter.


ZING! close the thread.

“Kung Fu Komix IS…hardcore martial art action all the way. 8/10” -Harkovast
“Kung Fu Komix is that rare comic that is made with heart and love of the medium, and it delivers” -Zenstrive
“Kung Fu Komix is…so awesome” -threeeyeswurm
“Kung Fu Komix is..told with all the stupid exuberance of the genre it parodies” -The Real Macabre

No, I have no Twitter, and don't see myself getting one. It seems pointless when you can just get a Facebook and do the exact same thing, except actually do more interacting with people.

But I do admit it would be a good tool to get updates out about your webcomics.

I thought the same thing, but Twitter lets me do one thing that Facebook does not:

bug the shit out of famous people.
