why would anyone care what someone else is doing at an instant moment? and who would have the time to post about stuff they randomly do at a given moment and who would care?

Of course, if you follow only five people, it is early to keep up with what they are doing. But in most cases, you have to let go, and not follow every tweet and conversation thread on twitter. You realize that Twitter is not a bottle from which you drink every last drop. It is a stream from which you take small sips. And once you realize that you cannot be perfect, it is easier to stop being super human at work and in personal life. You realize that your life is not a bottle of water which the world can drain to the last drop, it is a flowing stream from which they can take small sips.

@johnny_blaze_47 - I think everyone uses it differently. Personally, I pimp my blog and catch up with people I don't talk with very often - mostly business contacts in other locales than my own. My wife follows celebrities and never tweets herself. Another guy I know uses it to tell people where he's going to be everyday and that's it.

i created a twitter account for some reason and never post anything to it. Somehow people find it and 'follow' it. OK ...

I know I'm feeding a troll, but I've got some time to kill while rendering this DVD.

How can you possibly experience Twitter in five minutes? How do you possibly find interesting people who tweet about stuff you enjoy in five minutes?

I frankly don't care if people enjoy Twitter or not. Social media/networking isn't the same for everybody, so it stands to reason that not everyone will enjoy the service, but if there are legitimate questions as to its use, I'd be happy to answer.

And something like 95% of apps DLed from Apple Store are unused after a month.

Yeah, they say the average app is used like 20 times, and then forgotten or removed from the iPhone. Of course, the average app is semi-garbage.

I like the facebook status updates so I could see myself enjoying twitter updates, though I do not care to write them myself.

Manu updates his facebook status as if it were twitter. I don't think I'll ever have an opportunity once this summer to wonder what MG is up to. :lol

The quattro is dead and gone.

I don't like constant facebook updates. My facebook updates are like "Ashley wants to go tubing..." or "Ashley's birthday is in 25 days!" I personally cannot stand to see constant facebook updates. That's what twitter is for.

twitter is more mundane like "Excel sucks...hurry up...lunch was good...here's a blog entry..."

It's just how you choose to use it.

I agree with this. There is one person in particular that's on my "friends" list that updates her facebook status about 10 times a day. Drives me nuts! :bang

I don't understand why so many people are so adamantly against Twitter if they don't use it.

Fine, don't use it. I don't think anybody cares if you do or don't.

isnt twitter the same as facebook status updates? only without the profile and other stuff? seems pointless to me.
