If messageboards were limited to 140 characters per post, I'd find them inane, too. Then again, this post would fit in a tweet. Embarassed

*SHRUG* We all have our pet peeves. I'm also annoyed by, among other things, facebook/myspace, reality television, texting, CNN's Rick Sanchez and his "national conversation," and people who think an issue, "begs the question."

I wasn't interested in Twitter either until recently. I only signed up so I could keep track of the Kogi BBQ truck. Most of my tweets are about pee and are designed to keep people from subscribing.

I thought the month of January has 31 days.

Question: If a Twitter follower is selected for a prize, are they eligible to be selected for another prize?

If you read it, it says ANN is only giving away discs on (Week)days. The 30th and 31st fall on a weekend. Though I agree "For the entire Month" may not have been the best wording.

Are you kidding me? Shocked BTW I hardly use typical emoticons beyond the Smile or Very Happy but holy crap your phrase deserves Shocked or something much worse. Just make an account for this and delete it afterwards, not that hard.



LOL Laughing Sorry for making you exceed your emoticon quota but I refuse to twitter. I'm not even going to take the time to create an account. Call me stupid if you want but I've bashed it so many times I would be embarrassed to look at my friends faces. Smile

I could go for the Oprhen set or the YUA sets.

I'm due to win something - I haven't even won $1 from scratch off tickets. Ever.

That ... just doesn't make any sense.


And what's with all the twitter hate? Now my friends can read all in ridiculous things that pop into my head all day Smile It's also a good outlet for work related rage Wink I've had my twitter since August 2008 Razz

OH MY GOD YOU TOO?

That is exactly why I started on Twitter. The Kogi truck. And then, six months later I had it and it really was nothing special. Mediocre, even. But at least I have Twitter now...

I preferred Kogi's menu at the alibi room. They had good fries.

Twitter is fabulous for keeping track of food trucks. And apparently now at a chance at winning anime.

Oh no no I'm not calling you stupid, just your move is idiotic. It's free sh*t and all you have to do is follow them on twitter for only a month! I totally understand the opposition to it. And I feel that twitter is best for phone users and pointless just for computer use. But at the end of the day it's free stuff (which is anime in this case) and it's not that hard to get your name in there to win.
