Will Twitter kill Message Boards?

[sr71blackbird]

I know a lot more people on twitter now than message boards. Are message boards becoming the new "chat rooms"?
I have not checked out twitter yet, but everytime I talk to someone over the phone who has a twitter account and I hear that annoying alert noise, it pisses me off.

Did Myspace kill message boards? No.

How about Facebook? No.

Same with Twitter, and whatever comes out 2 months from now to replace it.

Twitter has an alert noise?

[Liverspot]

Message boards have been around since the old bbs days, I don't think they will be going away soon. Twitter is just the latest "thing"

[Evolved]

Better question, is twitter killing the show?

[Patient zer0]

I don't think so. I don't do the twitter, but have checked out opies once from a pc and a few times from my blackberry. Its just plain fucking annoying reading peoples status updates.

[TripleSkeet]

Especiially not when websites are posting peoples Tweets when they make a black joke or something else they dont like.

[sr71blackbird]

Yes, it has this annoying update noise. I doubt I will ever get into that kind of thing, and this is more enjoyable to me.

We can only hope,

then all of you pathetic losers that post here can get a life.

I have Twitter. I've never heard an update noise.

Twitter doesn't allow enough room for me to enter my incredibly important opinions.

Message Boards 4Evah!

I have Twitter. I've never heard an update noise.

The Tweetdeck program has an alert tone which I immediately disabled.

[SinA]

message boards are already dead.

[ToiletCrusher]

I don't think so.

More information can be attained via message boards.

[boosterp]

message boards are already dead.

So's your cock but yet you still try to use it.

[Aggie]

It's killed the idea that some things are better left unannounced.

Well said! :clap:

No, messageboards tend to be an aggregated knowledge and discussion based on a specific topic. Twitter is much more general and topics change very quickly.

[STC-Dub]

No it won't.

[Death Metal Moe]

No, message boards will be fine.

[SatCam]

Man message boards have been soooooooooooooooooooooo popular and I noticed they have really fallen off this past year!!!

[PapaBear]

Better question, is twitter killing the show?
I never understood how, when R&F like to talk about a computer related fad or a sport that a listener doesn't use or like, the listener somehow thinks it's ruining the show.

What is Twitter?

[CofyCrakCocaine]

No, twitter and all other things that exist like facebook are the waves of the future generations, whereas we're more dinosaurs that are still thinking the planet is gonna get warm again before the last of us freezes to death. So messageboards will be with us so long as mikeyboy isn't dead from being over 90 years of age. Which is a long time from now, though it won't seem like that when we get to that sad year in the future. Sorry Mikey, we're all mortal after all. :(

And this is the last fucking post of the day, dong.
