Sorry TVSAns this is bit long...

Twitter has suddenly become a home for most of mzansi shlebs, shlebs-wanna be's, fans etc and is fast proving to be the most loved social website at the moment.

Now for all those who have not joined this is going to give you a lowdown on what happens there. Basically you follow your friends, people you like, schlebs, etc & they get to follow you back.

What interests me or rather what makes me laugh, is how fake people in the public eye are on twitter.tl tl tl....one minute you are the hottest thing, next they talk about you behind your back. what ever happened to tell it like it is....& dont pretend???? what are they gaining???

I decided to deactivate my account because people i followed were becoming very irritating. Then you get disappointed fans complaining that shlebs dont reply them! to follow some1 hoping they will reply your tweets and they dont.
The other reason is it has become a bragging place, im at so so.., i just bought this expensive pair of shoes, im eating at so so restaurant, im with so so,whatever!!!

A message to these peeps: (Why dont you reply your fans tweets???)
your fans are not stalkers guys:

1. Pabi Moloi - why are you so arrogant to reply people u dont know's tweets??? do you think they are stalking you or something???
2. Jo ann Strauss - if she dont know you, she wont reply guys.
3. Carol Manana or is it Mrs Nations???
4.Claire Mawisa - be nice ladies. you could learn a few from the ladies & gents below....
5. Tumi of Tumi from the volume, i once liked him...till i joined twitter, all i can say is his tweets are annoying & if he dont know you..he wont reply. or maybe they will to you...dont know.
5. Terry Pheto got her moments, sometimes & sometimes not....
6. Anele, Trevor Noah, Poppy something etc...this group only tweets amongst them & their friends....they think they own it afterall...

Then you have sweethearts who will no matter what reply you.and they are not negative...well except Mika sumtyms, but he's a cool guy otherwise.
1. Uyanda Mbuli - she must be the most loved lady on twitter.
2. Melanie Bala
3.Mika Stefano
4.Connie Ferguson
5. Khanyi Mbau - yes she replies strangers tweets...

Then theres general annoying haters....
1. dont get me wrong, i like Lelo...but why ngathi u Lelo (Brown shuga) is hating on Bonang/ or is it some kind of getting back to her after the Justcurious/jozi insider drama cos Bonang was vocal about it????
then theres Lelo's friend Princesskatlee dunno her real name, tjo now that chick is a hater....very negative mind...and stop hating Bonang & move on with ur life sisi..she didnt do anything to you!

then theres ass kissers...LOL Briget Masinga-(do u guys know her ?) why do you ass kiss Andile Ncube & Uyanda Mbuli so much....we can all see it, stop it u look stupid.hope you are gaining something from it.

Look guys, besides this, Twitter is very nice, it depends who you decide to follow, pity some of this you come across even if you dont follow, the worst being some of these believing their way is the right one...but do join it & decide for your self...I just wanted to share the funny things i see there.... So what have YOU observed on Twitter????!

Then theres loud mouths...Toolz, Bonang,Euphonik(yawn),

Ya neh.

Blackchild .... i think we as public ie non-celebs, we have a tendency of thinking we own them celebs ...lol,, so we want them to do things the way we expect them to and at the end of the day we still judge them by that, we dont put into consideration that, they are also people, they have feelings, they have their own lives, own friends and all....

Just like you and me, we dont respond to each and every thing that ppl ask us, so why cant they? For them it is difficult bathong coz whatever they do, we still judge them, they have thousands of ppl who follow them and if they can start responding to everyperson, then they wont have enough time for their friends...

re Bonang... many people hate her shame, it is either they are jelousy of her or she rubbed them the wrong way but who doesnt have someone who hate them? no one.... one most important thing though is.. she is not giving in to hate, she is just doing her thing and i admire her for that.

i have never given twitter a chance because in my mind there was this one Q:
who will follow me?
and i guess i got more scasred when i read that Thuli, Tbo's baby mamma has 4 or so followers.
i thought more
if people know who Thuli is and are not following, are they going to follow me?

and then isaid to myself
do i want to be followed? *light bulb moment*

haai this concept is not MTN in my mind! *SMH*
i'll tvsa and FB, cause I even tried Badoo and it did not work.

Twitter is all about bragging, nothing else. I still dont get what the craze abt Twitter is all about. At least with facebook u can have an interactive page with pics and vids and can instant chats with your friends.

Have to admit, there is something annoying abt Bonang. I hv neva met her and maybe she's a nice girl but dayummmm the Bonang-schleb is a megalomaniacal bore. She and her frnd Sizwe Dhlomo with their entourage. U would think Twitter was created just for them. I used to like Sizwe, I thought he was a cool dude until I joined Twitter.

As for celebs not replying to tweets... well what do u expect? This guys want u to think their lives are more exciting than they actually are, obviously they would not let anyone get too close because he/she might just uncover how fake they all are :)

Y would one actually be bothered that Pabi Moloi isnt replying to her tweets... get a life!!

Please give your kids attention at home or they'll end up on twitter and think they are the worlds' best things just because they happen to be known by 12 people

I've registered twice and i cant remember which email addresses i used and I dont know which passwords i used. I guess for the times i logged in (do they call it that in tweet?) i always had blond moments. I didnt know what the hack was going on and i logged off before any1 noticed my dumbness.

I am on twitter and I only follow a selected few. It is more like one function of FB - Status update (What's in your mind). Then you find people tweetering about stupid things (well stupid to me) like going to the bathroom,

You can only type 140 characters that is 2 short sentences. After realising that there is not so much hoohaaa about Twitter, I found myself back at FB and active this time.

Twitter = one of those things that never I got interested in.
I'm just not a follower and I dont like being followed either...I just dont get all the hype around it.

Phew, Blackchild...this is THEEEE LAMEST article i've read in a while. I can see snippets of other people's opinions cluttering your writing. You state things and don't back them up......c'mon now!

TVSA has just launched a Twitter account, so I can answer that one: if you are a Twitter user and spend lots of time there, and if you're following TVSA, you will see any latest updates by bloggers and staff without having to refresh the TVSA page. It will let you know that there is something new going on.

Also, if the site is down or there is some problem, Twitter is an alternative place for us to post news and updates.

If anyone on Twitter wants to follow TVSA, click the Twitter icon at the top of the page.

The people who find twitter boring are people who don't have friends on Twitter.Did you find Facebook interesting when had just joined and had 2 friends?I think twitter is for people who want to stay updated and not just on gossip but current affairs as well.
