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...

    • Uhm, that's every business ever, though. It doesn't matter if a bajillion users are using it. As long as it's not making bank, it's probably headed for the graveyard.
    • Yeah Patchou was an active member here, good ol' times indeed.
    • Samsung is the new Google... they don't care if millions of people are using it.
    • Still no word on Tides of Annihilation...... so weird that it wasn't shown at the big Game Fest. Guess I'll put it in the bin like Judas and Squadron 42.
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions by David Uzondu Samsung has announced that it is shutting down Samsung Max, its VPN service used by more than 50 million people, effective today. Samsung Max VPN, if you don't know, was an Android app born on February 23, 2018, out of the ashes of Opera Max, a very popular data-saving VPN that Opera had discontinued the previous year. Samsung bought the discontinued service, rebranded it, and added a native Samsung UI to fit the Galaxy ecosystem. The app could do things like compress images, help you manage background data on a per-app basis, reduce video data consumption, shrink music files, optimize webpages, block advertisement trackers in incognito mode, and encrypt your internet traffic on public Wi-Fi networks. Image via SammyGuru If you open the app now, you'd be greeted by a shutdown banner warning that all VPN, data saving, and privacy services stopped functioning on June 15, 2026. The creators failed to provide a reason for the shutdown, instead publishing a farewell note that read: "Thank you for being with us over the years. Your support and activity truly meant a lot to us and helped shape this app into what it became." This same message appears on the Google Play Store listing for the app as well. Max VPN is the latest service from Samsung to join the list of discontinued applications from the company. Just two months ago, the Korean tech giant announced that it is completely shutting down Samsung Messages, forcing millions of users to migrate to Google Messages by next month. The only devices that the shutdown won't affect are older smartphones running Android 11 or lower. Some of the features of Google Messages that Samsung hopes will entice users include AI-powered scam detection to block suspicious links, integrated Gemini AI tools to generate quick replies, custom chat bubbles, and universal RCS compatibility for sharing high-quality media with iOS users. The platform also offers seamless syncing across tablets and smartwatches. In addition to that, users gain access to message scheduling, smart classification, and automated category sorting.
