next thursday i guess if you follow them on twitter. I hope someone will let us people who think twitter is stupid know what we have to do to get tickets?
Last year facebook, this year twitter. Very annoying that they want us to sign up for some needless web site to get tickets. I will say I actually see a little us of facebook, I don't see why anyone would want to be on twitter other than they have no life at all.
Well, you don't actually NEED a Twitter page, it's not like their page is private, you can look right at their page and posts and click all their links. Just have their page oopen and it should automatically refresh itself whenever they tweet. Bitch MORE about free tickets.

It's easy to bash Twitter if you've never actually used it. There's a learning curve, but give it two months, and I guarantee you'll find it far more useful and amusing than your facebook page. To me, it's an invaluable resource. It can be whatever you want it to be, but if you can't find a use for it, it's probably because you lack imagination.

Hey I wrote the book on not using the word "douchebag".. search the archives if you're really bored…
but then y'all kept running with it so I was like "OK man, lets do it!" ;D
Oh, as far as twitter..I think its great.. thing is it takes up a lot of time so I haven't been using it lately but it can be really great.. . it is Facebook that blows monkey chunks.

sigh. i bet you said this about facebook and myspace and xanga and cell phones and pagers and shorts and haircuts and dvd players and comic books and vinyl records. I know it's probably "against" some bullshit you believe in because SO many people use and Kim Kardashian tweets so it MUST be evil, just try it and then you can bitch about the flaws. Maybe your loser ass can actually get the link itself, I don't think IMP gives 2 squirts of piss if you have been buying tickets since you went to see The Cure in 1984 and quite frankly neither do I. But, I'm sure people will post it here. I'm excited for ZZ Top.

Well if IMP doesn't care about their long-time customers than they are quite foolish. And when everyone is at Fillmore they will have no one to blame but themselves.
I probably only go to 6 or 7 of their shows a year now since I live in Baltimore
Well I have a vinyl record collection that is quite large. I did say CD's weren't as good in sound quality on the first listen as vinyl records. I had an ex-girlfriend who had twitter and she would read off the stupid tweets that people she knew would post and make fun of how boring some peoples tweets were. I said if you found them boring just don't follow them anymore but she couldn't because I guess she wanted to have a lot of followers and she had like 1000 facebook friends. Of course she probably had about 4 real friends. And she actually cared what people thought about her that weren't her friends.
Guess what if someone i know has a monumental event they can either call me or text me to let me know. If I am not important enough to be told then i don't need to know
Anyway myspace had a use when bands were on there. Not really useful for communication. I used facebook the 3 months that I was single. I guess when you are in a relationship you don't have time for it. Once in a while I will go on their and most of the stuff people post is completely irrelevant. Oh you are out with these 15 people at this bar? How long did that take out of your time at the bar to post. Really like I care. Or your kid just said something that you thought was funny? Guess what no one else does. Or they post some stupid thing that everyone else is posting. I do like looking at photos but photobucket could be used for that and would be easier to use.
I have no idea what xanga is about.
This is a fantastic painting of how boring you are to me.

A person can use social media tools like Facebook and still have a life.

absolutely not. social media serves only to distance you from others - atomicfront told me so.

boring because i actually go to clubs that you guys worry that are douchey, travel around the world, hang out with friends and have actual face to face converations, hike a mountain etc, instead of spending alll my free time on tiwtter and facebook. If that is boring to you well i am happy to be boring.
Are you this guy??

well i guess it depends on how much you use social media. If you are out and about and you are checking facebook every 20 minutes I am guessing you aren't being very social. But a lot of things can keep you from being social. Seeing a live band is truely a passive non social event. Well I am sure in some cases that isn't true but in most cases you are just standing watching a band. You have to do things in moderation. But Facebook I would state is pretty anti-social medium in general. But so is reading a book. Or watching baseball on tv.
I've hung out with more people in person because of facebook. And it's a nice way to keep in touch with my cousins who live overseas!
