Re: It's all about who you follow...

In Response To: Re: It's all about who you follow... (bluerunner) : I missed the part where I implied that it was the entirety. It certainly is a : large portion though. : My home page is the HBO front page. Why would I then go to twitter to see the : same thing and get links back to the home page? : As opposed to this forum? : The front page and this forum have been a pretty good aggregator of Halo news : for me for the last 10 years. If it's important enough, it'll get : discussed here. I've read through a few twitter accounts of people who : post here. I didn't see much that I didn't already see here. If I'm not : using twitter, then why would I sign up for the same thing I'm already : getting? : And a reply to Anton P. Nym - I could care less what celebrities say on : there. I'll see it anyway since that's all the mainstream news report : these days. I have to say... this is a silly argument. If you're happy with the front page (and the forum) - great. They're not going anywhere. There are a lot of people, however, who've asked for a better way to be notified when new news comes online. The new feed serves that purpose for those people. And it takes NOTHING away from any EXISTING delivery system for anyone who's happy with the status quo. It's one of those things that if it doesn't help you, you can safely ignore it... so why should it be even a SMALL cause of friction here? (I'm with you, blue. I'm not going to be integrating Twitter into my own life any time soon. But setting up this tool for other people took just a small amount of effort on my part, and costs me ZERO going forward... and it makes a lot of people happy. So what's the harm?)
