I obviously have it, but as to using it, I've started to wonder the point. Not only do I have none of my actual friends on there (so when I post, I'm literally only talking to myself), but the Twitter service is down so often that it wouldn't matter anyway.

But feel free to add me, fellow neowinians, and give me a reason to write more stuff there.

I still have trouble grasping why one would use twitter?

Obviously I don't have an account

from what i understand, it's a "lite" blog

just for quick notes to jot down and such. great if you live away from your family or go on vacation. you don't have to get heavily invested in it or anything

i of course heard of it and created an account just for the hell of it but im not really sure if someone really is interested in me drinking coffee and telling everyone, like that pretty cute video they got on their site suggests...

i use it from time to time but since i only have one follower yet and am not that interested in taking my whole life to the public, i think i will forget about it pretty soon. =)

i mean it does have its useful moments, for example when you are on some vacation and want to write some sort of journal. you are restricted to some short keywords, which might be useful but you could just aswell open a blog or something... maybe with twitter you might reach some more folks... i dont know...

    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
