    It's one of those ridiculous social experiments that the aliens keep carrying out on us to see how close to the edge humans can be pushed. Like Reality TV, Global Warming and Ann Coulter. -Rd

        That day can't come too soon. If for no other reason than not having to read idiotic headlines with "twitter" in them.

          If you use Twitter to send a Tweet, does that make you a Twat?

              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.

                                  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.

                                        Me too (except for the train part, for me it's while eating breakfast). The new Twitter iPad app is awesome - aggregates tweets based on categories. Great for keeping up with various topics. Cheers, Drwe.
