Twitter: I don't get it.

Do you? If so, what am I not getting? Mostly, I find "tweets" irritating and lacking in anything I'd want to read. Despite the cute name.

I don't get it. But then I don't get the whole texting thing...at all. It's even more annoying to me than people talking on their cell phones.

...but at least you can ignore people's tweets and texts!

No, I mean when someone sits and texts in front of you while spending time with you.

Okay, um, wow. That's a new one to me.

That *MUST* be generational. I can't think of anyone who doesn't do that except my parents.

I really, really hate it when people talk on their cell phones and I'm out at lunch or something with them. I actually find texts mildly less intrusive unless the person is doing it a lot. But when someone answers the phone and proceeds to have a 15 minute conversation through our 30-45 minute lunch I want to destroy things. My married friends do this to me all the time with their wives.

Y'know, now that I think of it, some of my friends do that when we're out at a bar or something, but it's mostly chatting or texting with people who are looking for us.
