He can't spell his own former teammate's name and a bunch of other words (but hey, Twitter only allows 140 characters), but Barnett's thoughts probably resonate with the entire Capers defense right now. If Favre joins the Vikings, I expect Kevin Greene's linebackers to show no mercy.

Yes. That's the main way most people Twitter. You basically just save a number to your contacts list just like any other contact, and send a text message to that "contact" and it posts it to your twitter page. It also sends the message to anyone who follows and activates updates for them.

Nick Barnett is a funny guy though. He Twitters constantly, often about what kind of wine to get with dinner, etc. LOL. It can get annoying at times, but I think it will be worth it once the season starts. =)

Now if Aaron Rodger's would just start Twitting!

This thread is a perfect illustration of why I shall never join Twitter. Compressing your life into poorly thought-out, poorly written 140-character soundbites. Bah.

By the way, my first final exam is in the books. (Hey, that's only 38 characters!)

By the way, this thread is ostensibly about Nick Barnett, but it's really about Favre. I'm moving it to the appropriate section.

Your entitled to your opinion, but Twitter has its purpose. Let's use Nick Barnett for example. Until Twitter, I had no "contact" with him and no "updates" on his opinions etc. Now with Twitter, I do. It gives him a way to develop some form of a personal relationship with his fans that he otherwise would not have. Same for some of my favorite band members and such. Some band members post pictures, videos, provide comments about towns they play shows in, how it went, etc. Basically, in these cases, Twitter established more of a "personal connection" then I would EVER have the majority of these people otherwise.

It's not about "compressing your life into 140 characters," at least not the few people I follow. It's more about giving fans a glimpse into their lives in a simple, efficient way.

I think your perception of Twitter may be a little skewed. It's fine if you don't like it and don't want to join. Nothing wrong with that at all. But I have enjoyed getting to know the "personal side" of some of the people I'm big fans of that I had no clue of before. Like I said, Twitter has it's purpose, and some people use it really well.

Yeah, there are lots of extensions to Twitter as well. If you want to go over 140 characters, you just post it to this extended Twitt thing that lets you go as long as you want. It's also a great medium to share videos and photos. Those are two of my favorite features seeing pictures from concerts in my hometown, backstage, and such.

I'm not a big "celebrity" guy, but it is cool to be able to glimpse into their worlds from time to time, especially to kill a little time.

Like I said, it certainly has its purpose, especially if you use it right.

Dodd - I'm sure you're right, but to me, it's just another one of those accounts like Myspace and Facebook. Myspace drives me nuts because:

1) people don't know how to use it correctly,
2) people have too much crap going on, so it takes forever to load, and I got a smoking machine with a smoking connection so the problem is them,
3) people always have music when you go to their page. I'm always listening to music to begin with, so when I go to someone's page, you hear 2 competing musics. It's really annoying.

So I hate Myspace, but need the stupid thing for my band.

As for Facebook, all my relatives are on it but it's yet another thing that drives me nuts. Some people have too much stuff going on. No, I don't want to join your pirate/vampire/mystery detective/pet blog games. I got a real life to live and once I get home, I don't want much to do with computers because I work on them for a living.

So when I heard about Twitter, I was thinking "Geez! Do we REALLY need another one of these time wasting sites?"

Yes, if used correctly, I'm sure Twitter is great. But the problem is the majority of people out there abuse them and I'm sure if I had an account, they'd just waste my time.
