Wasn't it a Circle Tour short video where Jon said - rather forcefully -

NO - I don't tweet.

I would not be surprised. Thinking realistically- he would never have peace and quiet or any private space if he tried to be on the twitter himself all the time. People from all over the world would try to twit 24/7. I believe he will twit occassionally, but he will employ someone to do it for him for the rest of the time. He is human, you know He needs time for his private life, for his family and for his music and for his other projects. I fully understand this!

I don't. It takes 2 minutes to tweet, it's not like it takes a shitload of time. If the man can watch movies at his hotelroom he can use Twitter as well.

Salaam Aleikum,

Hm.. I am not too much into tweeting, and you know why? Just because if I enjoy a movie or a book or a you-tube video, I do not want to be bothered at the same time by any conversation on the net. I want to be left alone. I believe that Jon will feel the same (I am a 100% introvert and I suspect he is something like that , so I can sympathise with him).
And why he started the twitter? Well, it is probably because the image of the band demands it. But I would not find it wrong or offensive if he tried to set himself free from tweeting by emplying the staff who would to it for him! In my opinion it is just natural

I couldn't care less if Jon Tweets, but to answer the introvert thing: I myself am a huge introvert, but at the same time I love Tweeting. I joined Twitter in about March, and I have almost 4,500 Tweets. It's a brilliant emotional outlet.

I'm not saying he should Tweet at the same time he's watching a movie, I'm saying that if he's got that many time off in his hotel room to watch a movie he can certainly take another 2 minutes to Tweet.

I wouldn't find it wrong if he'd get someone to do it for him, many bands do it like that because they can't work out how it works, but knowing Bon Jovi we get like 2 updates every 4 weeks, which will probably include something like "look forward to the show there..." instead of proper updates what the service is meant for.

I follow Stereophonics on Twitter, the singer admitted he had someone to post the pictures and stuff for him, but they really take snapshots from restaurants, rehearsals and stuff and post them on Twitter. They get the picture. We'll have to wait what this will be like, but my guess is that Jon will use it for advertizing or to say how amazing everything is.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

So, I can see now what you mean, Seb. That's right. You get a point.

But I also think that we should wait for a while and see how it is going to work. It is pointless to make any predictions right now. Maybe we will all be nicely surprised?
