I have never used twitter and I don't plan to. After reading an article (see link below) on the subject of twitter addiction, I'm even more firmly resolved. The initial idea of writing short snippets about daily activities sounds a lot like a journal, which is usually meant to be read only by the writer. Twitter opens such daily snippets up for the whole world to read. Who would want to read daily updates of the minor, boring details of someone else's life? If you're reading about someone you really care about, why not talk to them in person? It seems especially sad to be the one reading daily updates on the life of someone who spends all day on the computer writing tweets. Personally, I never want to contribute to such a mindless substitute for actually living life and interacting with real people.
