John Mayer has described Twitter as "inherently silly" and "inherently dumb".

The musician derided fans of the blogging site, despite being a regular user himself.

"If you really think that Twitter is the pathway to spiritual enlightenment, well... It’s one step away from sending pictures of your poop," he told E!.

Explaining his presence on Twitter, the 31-year-old said: "I've always communicated at a high level as best I can whether it's Twitter, Napster or message boards or wherever.

"I don't have a devotion to Twitter. I didn't sell out to Twitter. You do Twitter until everybody gets off of Twitter and it's something else you go and try out."
