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

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

                    The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it. My latest tip/trick Visit the Hindi forum here.

                        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.
