How do I convince him to use Twitter?

CrazyRabbit

Any ideas? He's very reluctant...almost a complete technophobe.



I sooooo want to know what's going on in his head.

I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.

Actually, I really can't say, except that it's related to some work I did a few months back. The email address is public.

Cowan may be an incompetent gobsh1te but..........no that's all.

orourkeda

Someone once described twitter as the area between the twat and the sh*tter

BrokenArrows

how about having an actual conversation with the person.

Dj Stiggie

I love the way so many people replied without looking at the link, and probably skipped over some posts that were giving it away too

captainscarlet

So basically you want to stalk him.

Somethings not right here. Just electro-tag him like they do with cars and you can track his movement that way.

brendansmith

Give him sweets to do it

That link doesn't seem to work but I'm guessing it's the Sigmund Freud picture?

Why in gods name do you want him to use twitter?
Want to know what in a persons head, talk to the man.
If talking don't work and he's not going to tell you something one to one,
he sure as hell won't publicly broadcast it to the world, especially if its of a private nature!

...besides Twitter is a piece of over inflated piece of hyped up crap!

Christ you women are so selfish. Not only are you totally concerned about whats going on in your own lives, in the lives of those in soap operas, what he is doing in his life but you also want to know exactly what he is thinking all the time!

In a few words and if he is reading this. Psycho girl on your hands mate, get out of there quick sharp!

I think you have your answer there as to why he is reluctant. Next thing you'll be asking him about 'feelings' and sh1t like that

ITT - old men whine about Internet stuff they don't get.

Dont be at yourself

Follow him to a nightclub he mentioned he'd be at after a few cans of stella, and then put the moves on him.

It worked for Fee - oh, never mind.

Women? I'm a guy.

The one thing Twitter is 'useful' at is allowing you see how messed up a person is. You can analyse their tweets and find out what makes them tick. It's like an online public diary of a persons thought processes. Mr Cowan is a complete mystery to me (and everyone else) and I can't help but wonder how someone can rationally make the decisions he has made! That's why I want him to use Twitter....to find out what's going on in that bizzare head of his.

Besides, we all know that Twitter users are bleeping bleep bleep bleeping bleephites, so you would expect all politicians to be naturally drawn to it.

pyramuid man

Heres what you do.

Tell him to shout out his random feelings when he is walking down the street at the top of his voice and if anyone asks him what he is doing, tell them he is twittering.

Or if he is supercool, he could shout random things he has read on the internet in the street that he did not write or had no connection to him but it expresses his individuality. Because I am sure he is different. Like everyone else.

I just cant make sense of this whole twittering thing.

This is whats going on in his head :

"When is she gonna shut up about twitter".
"I would love a sandwich".
"Blowjobs rock".

lol the majority of the people who have posted so far seemed to have failed to realise that the OP is making a humourous post about Brian Cowen.

Mostly because people think
a] The OP is talking about her boyfriend
b] That the OP is female

The white girl at the top of the cover seems genuinely astonished that the black kid knows how to use a laptop. :pac:

That_Guy

OP if you're bf or whoever it is you want to join Twitter, I can guarantee that the only thing he'll share with you and the whole internet world are the following things:

OMG, I'm liek sooo random

I'm eating a sandwich. Yummers

etc etc

Buceph

From this thread I have learned that people don't clonk on lonks, and the OP is going out with Brian Cowen.

iregk

The vitally missing ingredient here in the OP is the complete lack of humour. Hence why this thread has gone the way it has. Still it was a nice try, your daddy would be proud.

Dont forget that its a coleslaw sandwich.

OP, if it's any consolation, I've checked the link now.

Well if AH allowed pics, I wouldn't have to use a link. So I'm blaming the powers at be for this one

Kinda amazed that so many people think I'm female and am talking about my boyfriend.

I just want to get Brian Cowen on Twitter so he can post random thoughts on it so we can then figure out what goes on in that strange strange mind of his!

Careful now. He could really take to it... http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/12/13/AR2009121300007.html

Over-inflated? If it was any more low tech it'd involve two cups and a piece of string.

As for the Twitter experience itself, it is, like all other social networking ones, one which depends on the people whom you are friends with. Friends with boring/****-talking/mUlTi-ColoReD nIckNaMeD people? Then you won't feel the same way about it as someone who chooses to follow interesting people who say interesting stuff which you find interesting.

Why dont we all make friends with Thierry Henry?
