Bah. I remember getting most of my info from Usenet. Before that... BBS's.

So if not Twitter, then what do people tend to use? IRC? Websites? Forums? Smoke signals?

If I am curious about something I typically just use Google. Not the fastest method, but I'm not about to try and do a search on every possible individual forum, wiki, popular social network, bordello, cat house, and anything else that may or may not contain the information I need/want.

And I'm certainly not going to try and maintain an account on all of them. Then again.. I don't particularly care about what Lady Gaga has to say about her latest outfit, or what Pink's opinion of Proposition 8 is.. (Yup, I looked up Pink's latest tweet just to be a smart ***. At least, I think it's her latest.. or even her... or hell I don't know with all the ****ing @this and #that and .. meh. Don't care to learn the interface or new "lingo" either.)

Twitter is SMS for the Internet, plain and simple. The best part is, it can even integrate with SMS service on your phone. That's useful, especially for my local tweeps. But maybe someone has to actually use it to see?

Anyway I don't think Twitter was a good format for Niklas Savander's talk. Absolutely, IRC could have worked better.

And I'm with whoever raised the point about people's expectations. Holy ****, a marketing guy stuck to a marketing script!

Well... still... considering that the N900 is the current actual existing phone holding existing users....

You'd think he would have said something and not completely ignored it's existence altogether.

I mean.. he addressed Symbian people's questions... and some of their phones are older than ours!

I'm sorry, but you really can't justify a complete and total lack of acknowledgement in any form that we even exist....

Geez, fatalsaint, where did you get that I was justifying that???

It was a general (and sarcastic) statement.

I'm not gonna defend Savander's evasion in the slightest. I made that very clear in a previous post in the thread (or thought I did). I'm just wryly commenting that maybe people's expectations were unreasonable considering the crap we've already been dealt. That and I have long been in alignment with the Dilbertesque view of marketing.

That's fair. I have a lot of Adobe folks I follow because of prior interaction with them on Flash, Flex, Flash Catalyst, Creative Suite (beta testing) whatnot.

I follow a rather small set of folks, the people that follow me... they endure my rants about everything.

I pity them.
