I don't get it either. I set the whole thing up last week, just to see what it might do (and indeed for the intellectual challenge of solving it), but other than producing blog-haiku, which was fun but limited, I cannot see the point.
I suspect it works better if one has a socially active on-the-move kind of life and needs to keep lots of people in touch with what one is doing in order to make meeting up easier. As I don't have that kind of life, its usefulness to me is a moot point indeed. (And why one would want to then send it all to an LJ entry, I'm not sure, other than for filing purposes, but I know mileage varies on these issues.I love technology but I feel the same way about it as I do about kitchen implements. It/they need to earn their keep, and Twitter doesn't.)
