I've picked up some great stuff through twitter, but all of it is through people I choose to follow. I don't even bother to look at the public stream as the signal to noise ratio is way too low. And if anybody follows me, I check their previous tweets before I follow back. Some of the people I follow have lead me to some awesome sites and blogs though.
I'm on Facebook as well, but I only look at it when I get e-mail updates. I hate the whole app/game thing on there as it creates way too much noise. I also have issues with the privacy stuff on Facebook (I'll never post a photo up there).
I find Twitter has a significantly higher signal to noise ratio than Facebook. A lot of that's to do with the way I use them and because I have more control over what I get on Twitter. #socialnetworking

Ultimately, no.
SHOULD they be for the purposes of driving positive community/consumer support of their project?
Yes, absolutely. #socialnetworking

i use both, i'm not an addict by any means... but i don't get all the hate.
if you don't use it why knock it? and do you really think the users care if you hate it? there are so many facebook and twitter users... think about it... #socialnetworking

Twitter is...it's a breeding ground for the stupidest of hte stupid. It's all the 14 year old girls who have a ton of NOTHING to say and nobody who wants to shut up and listen to them say it, so they post their current thoughts every half a second to twitter so that the people stupid enough to care what they're doing EVERY WAKING MINUTE can know.
It's a social networking site with ABSOOLUTELY NOTHING but status updates! It's a stupid idea, and it's popular amongst the stupidest of the stupid of the internet. #socialnetworking

hehe, "the stupidest of the stupid of the internet"
You are aware that unlike say.. Kotaku, you only read what Tweets you follow. So you choose who you follow, what Tweets you get.
So if you find it full of "4 year old girls who have a ton of NOTHING to say" it's becuase you are follwing them.
Or you've just never actually used it n just retweeting what you heard the cool kids say. ;) #socialnetworking

As a boss its not really your job. I guess maybe signing up just so you can follow folks ( finding out what your PR guy says about you for one) would be worthwhile. and Facebook is more of a personal thing, let your PR dude set up Groups or Pages.
[gameindustrytweet.com] - For other folks, if you follow people on Twitter.
Great for getting say info on Beta codes or competitions. ;) #socialnetworking

Molyneux might want to stay away though.. #socialnetworking

Some might go make tweets that later end up with "WHY WOULD KOTAKU DO THIS TO ME?"
And some just wouldn't understand it or know how to make use of it.
I think Bioshock 2 has some ARG twitter accounts. the ARG accounts can be cool. Like could of had a account by Nathan Drake or Eddie Riggs or whatever. stuff like that can keep the fans happy n drawn in. #socialnetworking

You do know it's a PR rule not to deny people as friends right? If they were proper friends you might spell their names right :)
It's like me saying I have all those folks, in a big list pinned up on my fridge door. I call them fridge magmates. All the cool kids are doing it.
Let me know when you have God on your facebook friends ;) #socialnetworking

What they do in their off-time is of no concern to me and social networking applications that the majority of people use for just personal matters shouldn't become part of the job. #socialnetworking

On topic, of course its valuable to the company, but there is a great Insomniac community that has other company peeps popping their heads in and out. I appreciate this mans honesty and personally admire Ted Price.

Reminds me of a thread for TAY I can make tomorrow. With my memory I'm most likely going to forget, oh well that's the life.

Hey, maybe I should start complaining on every Mario- or Halo-related topic from now on.
But since I'm such a nice fellow, here, bookmark this: [kotaku.com] (kotaku.com/tag/not:littlebigplanet). No more LBP on Kotaku for you! Ever! Now, you don't even need to not-click on LBP headlines: they won't even appear! Ain't that swell?
