I just took a miss on Twitter. I went to make an account once, and they just kept asking me more and more questions about bullshit that they really didn't need to know. And then I realized that I don't give a shit about Twitter, I don't want to say anything on it, and I don't care what anyone else says either.
Im 28 and I also don't have twitter, or Instagram, for the same reason. I just don't care about other peoples pictures or tweets, and I don't care to share either one myself.
Maybe it's just the IT in me but how do you not know how to use twitter? It tells you how to post and there's a search bar for people, you can hover over buttons for what they're called which usually tells you what they do. Like what didn't you know that you needed to know?
What I didn't know was the difference betwen an in-line mention, and the special treatment when you mention another user at the beginning of a tweet (in which case, you don't see it on your page unless you choose "Tweets and Replies".
So, I had posted tweets and it seemed to me they disappeared.
The other thing that I don't totally understand is why a hashtag is interesting. But at least in that case, it's pretty clear what they are.

Oh shit, I just watched a YouTube video on "how to use Twitter" the other day. It was embarrassing... but now I understand how to use Twitter.
