The Twouble with Twitter and Tweeting :-)
Posted in CrackBerry Humor on 25 Mar 2009 10:50 by Kevin Michaluk | 46 comments


Two humor posts in one day? Sure why not! This one takes a satirical look at the Twitter phenomena that's sweeping the world by storm. I know Twitter users won't be offended by this and everybody else will get a good laugh :-)

It's pretty crazy. We all know how powerful our addiction to BlackBerry smartphones are and it seems Twitter has that same sort of grasp over its users too. The video's Twitter addict is an Ahh Frak phone user, but we all know it's really the BlackBerry Addict + Twitter Addict = Twouble!

for the great laugh, i really needed it. i'm glad i don't waste my time on these social networking sites, it gives me more time to spend with my family.

Kevin, this video is true (mostly). Especially with those people outside of twitter. But once they get sucked in...oh man. :) Hope Team CrackBerry is doing awesome!

haha this was a good laugh although i'm more of a crackberry addict not a twitter person

OMG thats too true & too funny!

This lil' toon has taught me everything I did and didnt want to know about twitter. I still plan not to use it.

Lol @ the Fail Whale!

By: Ravenell | Date: Wed, 03/25/2009 - 10:16

buhahahahahaahaha! Hilarious! Gosh, even as a Twitter user, I have to say I poke fun at my 'real' friends who are so happy about their 'tweet'-friends.

By: chatkiller | Date: Wed, 03/25/2009 - 10:27

Oh wow... lol even i have twitter but tweeting everything is... well overdoing it... personally i just do it maybe once... and I'm good... but you got to love the fail whale...

By: geewhipped | Date: Wed, 03/25/2009 - 10:32

man, that fail whale was ANGRY. I never pictured him that way.

I'm a new Twitter-user about a month ago, and gotta say this video hits it dead on. Saw it yesterday, but got another good laugh today.

Video says it won't play in my country or domain :(

"you're addicts you need help!" LMAO! thanks for the laughs Kevin.

By: weirdlilberry | Date: Wed, 03/25/2009 - 11:00

Being fairly new to Tweeting, I would say the video is spot on.

Sad, but true.

I highly recommend TwitterBerry, seeing as it is fast, clean, light, nice-looking, and feature-full. Nothing more. Nothing less. There are better ways to TwitPic if you absolutely must.

Either way, my vote is for the TwitterBerry-faithful. Follow me on a CrackBerry voyage @jricciardi!

Thanks for the video. It's only lunch time but that brief, somewhat accurate video just made my day! Hahahahahah!

By: levelm | Date: Wed, 03/25/2009 - 11:26

Great vid. That guy ripping everyone sounded like an echo of me. The best part is at the end because you know no matter how much you try to talk reason into these people they still go running back to their delusional lives. SPOT ON VID!!!!

By: Dolphis | Date: Wed, 03/25/2009 - 11:28

OH man, that was quality work right there lol.

I just don't get what the whole thing with social networking is?
I guess I do now lol... still doesn't appeal to me tho.

I have friends who update their stuff with every little thing they do.
So you're going to such and such place and then going to do this and that...... and I care because? lol
..and ppl wonder why they have stalkers lol

Pretty funny tho XD

By: dcscott | Date: Wed, 03/25/2009 - 11:31

At the risk of starting a war, the video kind of sums it up for me - I Don't Get It. I've been on Twitter for several weeks and frankly have failed to see the attraction. I could care less that someone I vaguely know is walking their dog this afternoon. And who really cares that I'm bringing in a load of firewood?

By: freakanomics | Date: Wed, 03/25/2009 - 11:38

My thoughts exactly

By: BBartist | Date: Wed, 03/25/2009 - 11:47

I dont get the whole Twitter thing nor do I want to...I spend enough time on my Storm the last thing I need to be be doing is telling everyone I dont know what Im doing at that moment

By: amber438 | Date: Wed, 03/25/2009 - 12:02

I thought this was hysterical!
I don't get twitter either..TG!!
But I loved this..

By: reddragon7660 | Date: Wed, 03/25/2009 - 12:10

Best thing I have seen all day

By: Bison 77 | Date: Wed, 03/25/2009 - 13:10

So many of my friends want me to join Twitter. I could care less. This video sums it all up. Time to send this to all of them so they see themselves for the fools they are :)

By: stranjal7 | Date: Wed, 03/25/2009 - 13:20

I agree with this 100000000000000 percent.

By: Anonymous | Date: Wed, 03/25/2009 - 14:06

hahahahahahhaha thats awesome!

By: perl_monk | Date: Wed, 03/25/2009 - 14:24

That was the best part!!! lol! I'm on twitter but I use it for giving and receiving technical advice or finding new blogs to read. But I don't care about someone's broken relationship or the hangover from last night. Vid was sooo funny and hit the nail on the head. :)

By: TekNiKal | Date: Wed, 03/25/2009 - 14:49

I guess I'd have to try it to understand. I see it more and more everyday. TV personalities are so excited that they just got tweeted or whatever its called. Did this video just call them all Twits? The video is is good. Pretty Funny!

By: alonesoul | Date: Wed, 03/25/2009 - 15:39

Tried it. Agreed with the normal guy :)

By: Ben S (not verified) | Date: Wed, 03/25/2009 - 15:54

I wonder if the Craig in this video is our very own crackberry Craig F.

By: polishbolduser | Date: Wed, 03/25/2009 - 17:44

hahaha god wow i love super news but the best part was the end hahah :D

By: snowthedirtbub | Date: Wed, 03/25/2009 - 17:44

Lol, good stuff, I never understood Twitter either, seems so boring.

By: vanessakay | Date: Wed, 03/25/2009 - 18:00

That is sooo funny and true!!! Reminded me of when I tried to get my sister to join Twitter. Thats great!!

By: Landover123 | Date: Wed, 03/25/2009 - 18:09

LOL, that was too funny. I can't stand Twitter, myself. I don't get why so many people and companies are using it so much.

So far most of the 33 comments are in support of the "what a waste of time" crowd. Were are all the folks who have been posting to the forums (mainly the 3rd Party Apps forum) about their love affair with Twitter, TwitterBerry, TinyTwitter, SocialScope, etc.? Where is their twitterpated passion when you need it?

By: rmstudio | Date: Wed, 03/25/2009 - 18:15

Pretty much the same thing as a the "Baptist Church" scam thats been running for how many years? LoL. The same methods of control and the same thing like the little twitty bird says. Dont do it choose your next words carefully. Because if you do not it will bring down the house of cards.. just like the church scam.. LoL. and that secret is people thinking on their own and speaking up..

Church oldest running scam in history...

Thanks for the Credit on this video Crackberry...

is it a coincidence that the nerdy guy thats addicted to Twitter's name is Craig? maybe Craig Johnston?

I use twitter to make quick Austin Real Estate updates and like Tiny Twitter better than Twitter Berry. I had some trouble downloading Tiny Twitter early on but had no issues recently. Give it a try.
