I really don't appreciate this kind of sarcasm on HN. And your sarcasm, quite frankly, I don't get. I get asked a lot what makes Twitter useful. So I wrote up the specific uses wherein I find it helpful. (Oh, and btw, you'll find more useful tweets at http://search.twitter.com/search?q=duckduckgo )

So how being corrected for writing what you doing is useful to you? Or feeling of being more connected - is that useful? Or repeating your FaceBook status - is that useful? Or spreading links, which you admit to be not working because of not enough followers?
If you knew me, you'd know I don't waste my time writing stuff I don't believe in. I don't blog very often. So yes, I obviously find all of those cases useful, and again, I frankly don't understand why you don't see their usefulness.

In the specific example, it saved me hours of time.

> Or feeling of being more connected - is that useful?

Absolutely. It makes me happier and more productive.

> Or repeating your FaceBook status - is that useful?

Absolutely. For the same reason Facebook status' are useful!

> Or spreading links, which you admit to be not working because of not enough followers?

That's not what I said. I said you need a lot of followers to make is useful, and I have about just enough for it to be: "I don't really have that many, but with the amount I do have it is enough..."

Keep it up, good work!
Is that more sarcasm? Seriously, I can't tell.
Neither sarcasm, nor direct statement. Just a way to stop argument that would lead us both nowhere.

We have different beliefs. I'm not planning of convincing you to my point-of-view (it would pretty much be impossible and also useless for me, I'm not running a religion) and your arguments don't convince me.

Convince you of what? That I don't believe myself that I find Twitter useful in those cases?
I really don't appreciate this kind of post on hn. Do you think there haven't been enough submissions about twitter ?

And besides, I've always found rude submitting links to his own blog.

Wow, HN has indeed changed. I thought it would be interesting to the community. Sorry. I'm basing that on previous stories and questions like this one: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=182755
According to searchyc.com, sixteen twitter-related links were submitted since yesterday. This is really too much, and besides, 90 % of the links say the same thing. You should consider that before posting or maybe delay your posting.
