John Mayer considers quitting Twitter

Singer John Mayer could follow the example of Miley Cyrus and bid adieu to the micro-blogging site Twitter as he doesn't want any more haters.

The 'Gravity' singer, who previously admitted he understands why the teen star deleted her Twitter account, uses the site to express his gratitude but also hinted that he gets a lot of haters through it, reported Aceshowbiz.

"Every night for the last two weeks, I think about canceling Twitter. It's over. The only positive thing on Twitter is saying 'Thank you' and directing [followers] to something cool and important," Mayer said.

While he did not explain exactly why he is considering quitting Twitter, the 32-year-old singer hinted that negative responses addressed to him has affected his mind.

"Why do I want more haters? If someone had told me when I signed up I'd get half a million haters... It's all about the approval," he claimed.
