Isn't something supposed to have been good at some point in order for it to jump the shark?

The SNL Mclaughlin Group sketches>the actual Mclaughlin Group. they're about the same to me. although the real show does have the added benefit of cutting to pat buchanan and him looking confused as to what's going on.

The creation of Twitter was the Internet jumping the shark. The shark can't jump itself.

I've never heard of twitter until John McCain said he was getting one.
Then EVERYBODY had to get one.

The creation of Twitter was the Internet jumping the shark. The shark can't jump itself. Really? After EVERYTHING else that's happened in the internet, and I mean EVERYTHING, TWITTER is the one that does it? That's kind of like saying saving David Arquette win the WCW title being THE Jump the Shark moment of WCW. It's bad, but it's not THAT bad. And it makes me laugh that Twitter is getting all this hate when a few years ago everyone hated Facebook. Now half the world uses it. It's a status based updating service. It's not the be all and end all of anything. It's not THAT bad and I don't get the reasons for 'hating' it apart from people just hating something that's popular.

Twitter is just mindless texting without the friend at the other end.
It's equal to the loud broad yelling into her cell phone at the grocery store about all the brands of toilet paper and how much they cost.

Wouldn't it be "jumped the whale" in this case?

I missed the part where Twitter was beneath the shark. It seems like nonsense to me. I don't care to know what people are doing twenty-four hours a day, I don't.

This isn't Twitter jumping the shark, rather, this is twitter fulfilling its satanic purpose.

I pretty much get all my Baseball news through there. Fastest way to hear about trades and all that stuff.

I pretty much get all my Baseball news through there. Fastest way to hear about trades and all that stuff. I get almost any news I can get on it. Football/Soccer news, Politics, entertainment, comics, I usually find links and stuff from Twitter first before anywhere else or to link me to somewhere else already putting it up. It's just another place to put news. People do it on their Facebook statuses too along with the 'Tell us about your lives' stuff.

If David Arquette's WCW title win became one of the most well known angles in WCW history and every mainstream fan loved it, then it would have been the jumping the shark moment. Twitter isn't a David Arquette. It's one of THE hottest internet fads currently going...and for the love of me I just don't understand why. At least Facebook does way more than just...status updates. Infact, Facebook does THAT better than Twitter does. You know the very definition of sad when a popular website's main function isn't even as good as a side function of it's rival. So yeah. Point still stands.
