    Twitter's like pointers. You either get it or you don't. It's genetically decided at birth. I don't get twitter, but fortunately I do get pointers, and I wouldn't have it the other way round. :-D

                      Actually, I find it useful to follow news and updates. Mind you, I don't use any social network to "follow" my "real" friends. I just use Twitter, and nothing else, to get news from other developers/companies/whatever interests me. Usually I browse daily tweets on the train.

                      If you truly believe you need to pick a mobile phone that "says something" about your personality, don't bother. You don't have a personality. A mental illness, maybe, but not a personality. [Charlie Brooker] ScrewTurn Wiki, Continuous Localization and My Startup

                            Twat has nothing to do with tweet. It certainly makes me not a typist or a writer. :((

                                          It looks like a pyramid – they are not generating any profit, have no idea how to change this, but became bigger and bigger thus attracting new investors, spending their cash and became even bigger and so on to the inevitable bitter end or until some miracle happens/not very likely in this case/. Even the Facebook creates some value, keeping you connected with distant friends or family etc. but I fail to see any value in the twiter.
