Apple's affectionate, slightly starstruck Twitter HQ profile

Twitter is like a breath of fresh air on the Social Media scene. I have been on it for just a few weeks now and I have met several interesting people. It is a platform to network with people you would like to meet in real life.

I think the "humanity" usage was more a reference to simpler, "more humane" interface concepts, rather than saying Twitter is one of the greatest inventions in human history. That's how I read it anyways.

Personally, I'd say that Twitter's meteoric rise to ubiquity is proof positive that the world, in all its complexity, is eager to embrace triviality.

Notice the blue bird...

Not for nothing, but TextMate IS so good it hurts

Ugh, isn't it bad enough Apple has to hire Justin Long for their commercials? This hipster douchebag image they are trying (and succeeding) at portraying is becoming sickening. Can't they go back to the "I'm better than you because I am rich and can afford a Mac" image they used to have?

Makes me glad I don't own a Mac, just their OS with superior hardware ;)

I think Twitter has its uses, but using it to tell people the details of where you are or what you're doing is really egotistical. You must really think a lot of yourself if you think I care that you're at Starbucks or whatever. And for that reason, if you need to tell me something that is important enough for me to read it, email it.

point of order: being accused of promoting style over substance is hardly being "touted"!

Apple's Twitter's feed is ...?

"and you can't blame Apple for wanting to highlight the Mac brand in the light of the blue birdie's buzz"

Assuming you're not colour blind, Twitter doesn't use a blue bird in their artwork. Presumably you are trying to tie the story to Twitterrific - which begs the question: Where did you get the notion that Twitterrific had anything whatsoever to do with this article, let alone influence Apple's take on Twitter?
