Twitter (aka Shitter, aka Your account is currently suspended. For more information, please visit Suspended Accounts), or as President Obama calls it, Twitter's, is an outrage machine where highly sensitive people spend all of their time so they can get offended by everything and bully people into silence with death threats. It is also a place for people to post retarded stuff and stalk each other by following.

   
 
@JaylaStarr g/g or b/g/g? Do you do anal? I would totally pee on you!
 

 
 

@TiffanyMynx, Typical "tweet".

Rule1 fail.

Not to be confused with this site.

Truth: Twitter is a Web 2.0 site for fags/dykes who are too stupid to use IRC and need turn-based chat. Typical Twitter users subject each other to a relentless feed of minutia in their otherwise meaningless lives, known as tweets, 24/7/365. Got a new job? Just drank a glass of milk? Took a big shit? Tweet it!

tl;dr: LiveJournal on crack.

Users

Blocking

Why you're blocked

...and most commonly...

  • They have NO reason

How to still see their shit

You can see their stuff, but can't look up statuses for tweets, favoriting their tweets, and following them.

  • Make a new account
  • Impersonate someone else to fool them with a sock account
  • If they are private, impersonate someone and they will accept your request, otherwise hack someone's twitter to see their tweets or get their allowance to use it
  • Force them to unblock you (CHALLENGE!)

Apps

 
Typical look at recent entries page.

For being such a boring and useless website, Twitter has over 9,000 apps to waste space on your harddrive. Examples below.

For some reason, these are all really popular.

PROTIP: Avoid the above apps and spend your money on something more useful.

Notable People On Twitter

Entries

Since Twitter is basically a Retarded LiveJournal, updates might range between one to two letters. Generally, an entry may be about what music someone's listening to, when they're going somewhere, a response to someone else, what they just clicked on, what they just thought, what letter they just thought about, what punctuation they just thought about, or beautiful poetry.

Even Twitter's own web site introduction admits that Twitter is redundant and offers no social benefit:

No Troll Hypothesis

In 2007, many fanbois and retarded bitches persistently claimed that trolling does not occur on Twitter. News of this Troll Free Zone - unheard of in the history of the internets - spread far and wide, and caused a massive explosion of late to the party lusers to sign up.

This theory has been officially trashed, as evidenced by the trolling of many famous persons including Bill O'Reily, Britney Spears, Trent Reznor, and other douches in the late morning hours of 2009 as reported by paid trolls Gawker.com

Drama! Twitter Refuses To Uphold Terms of Service! Oh Noes!

 
 
 
 
 
With Twitter, you can watch Tay Zonday and Chris Crocker have a catfight.

Unfortunate Ariel Waldman unfortunately works for Twitter's unfortunate competitor Pownce:

   
 
In June 2007, I unfortunately found myself on the receiving end of multiple accounts of harassment from a user on Twitter. When the user started using my full name in their harassing tweets, I reported the harassment as a form of cyberbullying to Twitter's community manager.
 

 
 

—Ariel does the right thing.

   
 
Unfortunately, in 2008 it escalated to a level that could no longer be ignored. Tweets were being fired off directly calling me a 'cunt' amongst other harassing language. On March 14, I wrote to Twitter, giving the example URLs of abuse and stated to them clearly...
 

 
 

—Ariel can't take it anymore.

   
 
It seems there is room in our Terms for folks to debate the difference between an update and an insult.
 

 
 

—Twitter doesn't give a fuck about your lame drama.

   
 
RT @chunkymunky lol twitter
 

 
 

—DancingSandwich, sauce

Instead of using the rather obvious block feature to ignore the offsensive user, Ariel began to harass the Twitter admins with complaint messages, only to be ignored. Butthurt and embarrassed, Ariel embarked on a large scale publicity whoring campaign to let the world at large know that Twitter refuses to uphold their terms of service' including lawyers and all.

The whole event caused a great deal of worry and concern for Twitter's loyal followers, as it provided a simple and obvious proof to invalidate the No Troll Hypothesis, and raepd them of any perceptions of their "specialness" as an "online community".

Scalability Is Serious Fucking Business (My Cock is Bigger Than Yours)

The instability of the Twitterverse and obsessive posting habits of many lusers means that daily use of Twitter has the network profile of a DDoS, frequently choking the site and blocking updates. This forces the lusers back to their usual faggotry where they whine and complain or post fawning sycophantic comments on the fail blog, a colossal feedback loop of narcissism leading to a dripping clusterfuck of triviality.

Transcript of a Typical Tweeting Episode

  • Tweet / LuSer: eating a bagel! om nom nom (10:41am)
  • Blog / LuSer: twitter is down! waiting for it to come back (10:43am)
  • Blog / LuSer: twitter is still down :( (10:51am)
  • Tweet / LuSer: is this working? (10:58am)
  • Tweet / LuSer: seems to be working (10:59am)
  • Blog / LuSer: twitter is back again! (10:59am)
  • Blog / LuSer: twitter is down (11:01am)

From the outside, this typical behavior could easily be construed as vapid insanity. But engineers know that Twitter is Serious Fucking Business, making every Twitter failure a grand opportunity to compare penis size in blog posts that use the magic word Scalability. Technical experts know that Twitter is a Distributed Messaging Service, which means that only engineers with massive cocks can understand the significance. Nothing could be more important than typical LuSer losing her ability to tell her retarded followers what she had for lunch. Of course, engineers know that they have bigger dicks than you and the Twitter developers, which is why they're obliged to mutually masturbate over every instance of Twitter fail, an activity which they call scalability advice from the trenches. This continues to happen, despite the fact that none of them have ever managed a successful high traffic website, nor do they have any fucking idea what the Twitter architecture actually looks like. The tubes are alive with the sound of fap fap fapping.

Technical expert reasons why Twitter architecture epitomizes Fail

Actual reason why Twitter architecture epitomizes Fail

  • Twitter is a joke business that generates no money but plenty of lulz for its developers, who are attention whores addicted to the shit storm that occurs every time their service goes down. Twitter claims that it is not interested in PROFIT??? (lulz wtf?) and only wants to expand its user base, everyone knows that the real reason is because their users are all black person so they'll never be able to make any money off of them. They're just trying to see how long they can trick Investors that they have a plan.

    The current plan goes something like this:
    1)Get a bunch of black person to join.
    2)????
    3)Profit!!!11oneoneone.

Search.Twitter.com

As a sister site, Search Twitter is a real-time search engine with which you can see what is being said about certain keywords at any moment. It's a decent tool for seeing what the sheeple are thinking. Go ahead, try out "4chan", or "I am gay". This might be the only redeemable aspect of Twitter.

Of course, the best time to use Search.Twitter is when there is a mass panic about. For instance, the swine flu scare showed just how stupid people became in times of crisis.

2009 Iranian Riots

 
Twitter users finally getting their priorities in order.

Twatter has finally filled a niche, albeit a dirty, smelly one. Iranian Citizens have recently begun rioting in the streets because their poster-boy candidate wasn't elected. Being the cunning, organized people they are, the people are now using Twatter as a way to communicate quickly and efficiently. As seen here, live 'tweets' from the Revolutionaries are being made.

What does this mean for Twatter? It means that Web 2.0 has unknowingly shat out a perfect tool for anarchist communication. LOL!

The Fry Fiasco

 
The only type of bird that interests Stephen Fry

Sometime during 2009, between October and November, Stephen FUCKING Fry was happily typing away on his Twitter page, talking about what cereal he had for breakfast and when he was to film new TV shows, when all of a sudden a fellow Twitfag by the name of BrumPlum went on his page and suggested that Stephen Fry may be a bit boring.

Now instead of just ignoring him, Stephen Fry fell for the troll bait and left a butthurt comment on the troll's page.

This was nothing compared to what his fans did. They immediately treated the troll like some sort of rapist, bombarding Brum's page with hate comments and even threatened to kill him.

Seeing what had happened, Stephen Fry panicked and threatened to quit the internet because he thought that Twitter had become a way of spreading drama.

His fans, not wanting to see their great messiah leave their social networking site, cried for at least 100 days until Stephen Fry came back, admitting that he hadn't grabbed his pills that day when he said he would leave.

   
 
dont give up stephen fry i signed up to twitter to follow you and i dont want you to leave just now

Ebert v. Breitbart

Last Thursday, Roger Ebert was shooting some B-Ball outside the school when Andrew Breitbart, who was up to no good, started making trouble in his neighborhood. They got in one little fight and Salon got scared, and said "you're moving in with your Aunty and Uncle in Boulder."

Breitbart, a right-wing controversialist in part responsible for the Obamacorn scandal, baited liberal movie critic Ebert with a comment about some movie. The exchange goes as follows:

   
 
@ebertchicago Did you like Werner Herzog's 'Grizzly Man'? Best, perhaps, inadvertent exploration of progressive/leftist mind. Seriously.
 

 
 

—andrewbreitbart

   
 
@andrewbreitbart Huh? Treadwell was universally deplored as unhinged, and condemned for leading his girlfriend to death.
 

 
 

—ebertchicago

   
 
@ebertchicago film wasnt political but treadwells challenging absurd beardogma was embraced by mediaschools & framed as idealism & progress.
 

 
 

—andrewbreitbart

   
 
@andrewbrietbart Show me a "media school" that embraced Tim ("Grizzly Man") Treadwell, "& framed [him] as idealism & progress."
 

 
 

—ebertchicago

This little slapfight, reported on by Salon.com, only scratches the surface of an ongoing back and forth between the two pundits. You can find the full article here.

Controlling Twitter Trends

It's time to learn about control systems, especially in relation to controlling Twitter trends.

In our case:

  1. Process = Twitter web site
  2. Controller = Script that we have programmed
  3. Sensor = A way to obtain statistics about Twitter trends
  4. R(s) = Desired output response / Desired position of trends on twitter
  5. Y(s) = Output / Actual position of trends on twitter
  6. Td(s) = Noise in the signal / Twitter posts of rest of the world (non-anon)
  7. N(s) = Noise of measurement / We cannot access all statistics directly, instead we have to rely on third party which can add delay and incorrect data.

Why is this important? We can model this process as second order system. And let's say we have a controller that will position output at value of 1, this is how it looks like over time.

>> step( feedback(tf([1], [5 1 .02]),1) )

So, this is good, it will oscillate for some time and then it might stabilize (Assuming there is no noise.) How? Let's say our program reads value of current trends and decides that is should push more one specific term. Now, it may happen that is pushes too hard and overshoots, that means it should now bring it down, and after that maybe push it back up again...

Unfortunately, what may happen is following:

>> step( feedback(tf([1], [8 -1 .02]),1) )

In this case output does not stabilize, because controller is not programmed properly.

Another problem is existence of noise. Let's call

  1. Signal all posts from our script and
  2. Noise are posts from the other people.

Engineers define something called Signal-to-Noise Ratio. If this SNR is not large enough we will not have enough precision to stabilize all those trends.

Conclusion

What I have presented here are problems with dynamics of the controlling twitter trends. I don't have a proof that these problems will actually happen. But it is possible.

  1. We can have delay about the twitter statistics
  2. We can easily overshoot desired position
  3. We can have other people twittering randomly our terms and screwing up the output

In order to solve this we need

  1. Real-time detailed statistics (not just list of current trends)
  2. Good programming
  3. Lot's of participants to increase SNR

XSS Twitter Exploit

Last Thursday, some enterprising individuals found out you can embed CSS code in tweets and basically fuck up entire walls and pages.

Actually scratch that, turns out you could also run Javascript commands triggered onmouseover. What crazy scripts can you write in 140 characters? Why:

  • Trigger annoying alert windows
  • Crank up the font size to 999px and wreck the entire home page
  • Create a giant overlay that masks the entire site
  • Create a self-replicating tweet that retweets itself simply by people looking at it
  • Get the prime minister's wife to post about pornography
  • Get the US Press Secretary to post DEATH TO AMERICA
  • Combine all of the above and basically make the entire site unusable as self-replicating tweets consume everybody's profiles

The event lasted for several hours on the morning of 9/21, until the hole was finally patched. Plans for a mosque are currently underway.
