Thereâ(TM)s so much irrational screeching atm itâ(TM)s hard to make sense of it. One thing is for sure the posts attracting the most likes and comments are usually just muck taking attention seeking with very little verifiable although often even confirmed as âoejokesâ. In terms of how I use twitter. I read whatâ(TM)s on slashdot via twitter rather than coming to slashdot.org. I use twitter to see news headlines. I use it to read hackernews highlights etc. Mostly the current twitter muck raking is making me feel like I will support the sites advertising on it atm, I will buy their products because Iâ(TM)m disgusted by the viciousness being displayed by people who ironically claim to hold the higher ground but by their posts demonstrate theyâ(TM)re slithering in the gutter.

No doubt about it. You have some real idiots in the USA :)
