Twitter: I don't get it.

[mckitterick]

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 think of it as "Facebook Status Update on Steroids" - and yeah, not my bag, but I don't mind. I mean, rather than having an LJ entry that says,

"I went shopping at blablabla, and then I came home to cute Mr. Poodles and fed him, only to be arrested for jaywalking by the policemen lying in wait with video evidence of my pedestrian transgression!"

now it's just

- Shopping.
- Feeding the dog.
- In jail. Post bail?

Which is informative (if you care), or easily skipped over (if you don't).

Also, some people have large text phone plans, where they have unlimited texts for a fixed price.

Obama even used Twitter to keep in touch with his stalkers during the campaign.

So, in summation, yeah - who cares? Well, for those people that do, good for them.
