Does Twitter make people half-witted?

No - half-witted people use it.

I dont think thats so. Lots of different people use it. Prime ministers use it,even the Queen has an account ? I have an account but hardly ever Tweet on the basis no-one wants to know what I have done in the day ! I like it to keep in touch with the day to day happenings of the people and bands I follow. Believe it or not I even have 5 people follow me ?? It does not make any-one more half witted than they already are ?

Usually it is people and technology. For example how many Facebook family rows have there been? I have heard of a few. It is not one particular thing like twitter, there are many that are not dimmer than a 40 watt bulb but manage ok, but people blurting out on the internet not understanding the consequences, there is the issue.

Not as half witted as people who read the posts saying Tania has just had a Ryvita, then had another one with low fat spread. Ooh, calm down.

Yes

turkish prime minister forbid it but president using it. :) half witted ppl thinks he can control and manuplate everything. twitter is irrelavant.

I have an account that follows entertainers and authors that I like

In the last month I have found out about free gigs (Comedy night at the camden head)

low price gigs (another comedy night at the pleasance theatre)

New tickets becoming available for shows which have sold out (Derren Brown)

as well as links to interesting articles, new facts (eg @whatifnumbers - @HistOpinion)

I also follow the rail company, which I use to commute - which has occasionally saved me some stress.

anyone who thinks twitter is all about somebody tweeting what they had for lunch is seriously misinformed and if you have that prejudice, you're probably a bit half-witted yourself

Twitter is a tool; an fool can drop a hammer but in the right hands it can do wonders.

I think it just attracts them.

Though it could with equal truth be called twatter.

They have a half more than anyone here.
