Ashton Kutcher at the CTIA wireless industry trade show in Las Vegas May 23, 2013, speaking with CNBC's Julia Boorstin.
Actor and tech investor Ashton Kutcherwas on hand at CTIA 2013 to discuss his views on the mobile industry and social networking. During the keynote Thursday in Las Vegas, Kutcher was asked how he thought Twitter was monetizing the mobile market. The star of the upcoming film, jOBS, said the media messed up the social network.
Kutcher, who is extremely active on Twitter, said his experience with the social network has taken a turn for the negative. It used to be a personalized experience that I could share, he said. I think media [bleeped] it up. Theres a lot of people selling [another word for stuff] that I dont want in my feed. Maybe I need to curate my feed better. When I first started using it it felt like the democratization of media.
Kutcher said the tipping point for his relationship with Twitter was when the social network made retweeting easier with the retweet button. When they added the retweet button, it created a lot of noise in the system that hurt the experience, he said.
Kutcher isnt completely down on the social network. He said he believes Twitter will become valuable when it can integrate with intelligent objects, such as buses and coffee makers that can tweet at you when the next bus is scheduled to arrive or when your coffee is done.

Kutcher has invested in startups including Airbnb, Path, Square and a host of other mobile apps and services. His appearance at CTIA came on the heels of Jennifer Lopez Viva Movil retail chain announcement for the Latino market. So while this years CTIA may have been light on major product announcements, it certainly wasnt lacking in star power.

Ashton Kutcher: Media has messed up Twitter
WASHINGTON It's the ape equivalent of Google Maps and Facebook. The night before a big trip, Arno the orangutan plots his journey and lets others know where he is going with a long, whooping call.
What he and his orangutan buddies do in the forests of Sumatra tells scientists that trip planning and social networking aren't just human traits.
A new study of 15 wild male orangutans finds that they routinely plot out their next day treks and share their plans in long calls, so females can come by or track them, and competitive males can steer clear.
The researchers closely followed the males as they traveled on 320 days during the 1990s. The results were published Wednesday in the journal PLoS One.
Typically, an orangutan would turn and face in the direction of his route and let out a whoop, sometimes for as long as four minutes. Then he would go to sleep and 12 hours later set out on the heralded path, said study author Carel van Schaik, director of the Anthropological Institute at the University of Zurich.
"This guy basically thinks ahead," van Schaik said. "They're continuously updating their Google Maps so to speak. Based on that, they're planning what to do next."
The apes didn't just call once, but they keep at it, calling more than 1,100 times over the 320 days.
"This shows they are very much like us in this respect," van Schaik said. "Our earliest hominid ancestor must have done the same thing."

Apes do social networking, too, study shows
More and more recruiters in the country are taking the social networking route to ascertain the credentials of prospective candidates. The trend could well be a sign for active job-seekers to spruce-up their dormant accounts on professional networking sites.
Social networking sites have transformed the way companies in India and elsewhere are recruiting talent. Its not just active job-seekers, companies even keep track of talented passive candidates, who are doing well and are not likely to move. Close to 40 per cent of quality talent is recruited through social and professional networks, which have become a key source to find quality, says LinkedIns head of communications (India, Korea and Singapore), Deepa Sapatnekar.
Maintaining a proper and complete profile has its bonuses, Ms. Sapatnekar told reporters on Wednesday.
A good profile reflects how rounded the person is. Such profiles enable individuals to build their own independent brand in the networking sites. Sites like LinkedIn do provide a lot of insights and help its members get a pulse of whats happening in their respective are of expertise, she said.
While encouraging everyone to make proper use of professional networking sites, the top LinkedIn official had a word of caution.
Dont just blindly keep on adding people. Accept invites and endorse people who add value to your profile. The recruiters will be able to see through in case users are endorsed by peers only and not by bosses. Adding value to the profile should be the main aim, she added.
For students
Earlier this month, LinkedIn launched University Pages, which is specially tailored for higher education students.
Students can interact directly with the school management, current students, parents and alumni. We have also rolled-out this service to youngsters above 13 years age. The idea is to encourage young people to build their own professional network and enable them to make their own choices, she said.
