I use it a lot, to keep track of a few people in the game bus. it's useful to know when cool stuff is going on that I want to see or take part in.
from here I follow Jessica Chobot... so I know when she's going to do a ModCam or whatever.

This is more than I've done. I haven't even gone to the site, much less signed up for an account. I have no idea what Twitter is or why it's so popular right now.
I'll probably have to look into this someday...

It's very useful if you actually either have things to say to a whole bunch of people, or want to follow what others are doing. Plus, it now can broadcast to facebook. /shrug, I use it daily on both sides of it.

Its just status updates. If I knew that such a stupid website would get this popular, I would've developed it years ago so I could milk all your monies on a stupid website!
Other than 'following' celebrities, who gives a flying f*** what you're doing? I can see why its popular with celebrities but for freaks like us, who really cares?

lol English is tricky!! Maybe "it" doesn't mean Twitter? Maybe we are saying "it" as in the trend? But then again English is my second language.

I don't get it, either (the trend, not how to use the stupid site). Of course, I don't get Facebook or MySpace, either. It all seems like a stupid waste of time to me. Then again, so are the VN boards.

lots of people don't get the internet and don't understand why we can't just use encyclopedias and read the newspaper every day either. those lacking intellectual aptitude never "get" the newest way to communicate and share information.  they also often mate with their siblings and live in kentucky or alabama.

QFT
First, you don't "twitter," you "tweet." Second, it's not an IM client (even though way too many people use it as one). It's actually a microblogging platform, but if you don't get blogging, then you most assuredly won't get Twitter. The ratio of good Twitter-users to good bloggers is 1:1.
Simply put, if you don't blog, don't tweet, because no one else gives a damn.
