      So some goon squad came through your door and forced you to open the account?

      A while ago he asked me what he should have printed on my business cards. I said 'Wizard'. I read books which nobody else understand. Then I do something which nobody understands. After that the computer does something which nobody understands. When asked, I say things about the results which nobody understand. But everybody expects miracles from me on a regular basis. Looks to me like the classical definition of a wizard.

          Well, I needed a test account for this application I'm developing (the news is now directly posted to twitter).. Also my boss thought it would be a cool, new, hip way of informing our clients about upcoming updates through our 'development team' (which is basically just me). I disagreed with him; I think all the social networks are just a phase, and I think twitter is the most useless, ambiguous of them all. Just when I think of all the 'big' social networks that have collapsed here in the Netherlands alone... Anyway my girlfriend thinks it's cool, and the worst part is that she thinks I'm going to like posting messages etc. (as if I don't get enough e-mails to remind me I have a new reply somewhere ;)). Well, 1 social network down, a million more to go... :P

              I don't understand what Twitter is for. Seems to me it is just a way of massaging the egos of famous people. I signed up a few months ago, for reasons that I can't remember, and I still don't see a point for it.

              Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

                  It's so that boring people don't feel lonely. They can "converse" in shortened form with other boring people about the things that really matter to them during the day. "Got up" "Am at toilet." "Brushing my teeth." "Hmmm. Forgot I haven't had breakfast brush teeth again later." "Which socks shall I wear?" Even trainspotters have to feel superior to somebody.

                              Ditto. Also the quality of the stuff you receive is up to you as you decide who/what to follow. No-one is making anyone follow people who post the supposed messages that contain nothing but crapping/eating/sleeping.

                              He who makes a beast out of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.
