I don't get it, either. It's been around for years yet for some reason I've just seen the popularity explode in the mainstream media during the past couple months.

It doesn't make any sense to me either, so you're not alone.

It's a website where you can post exactly what you're doing so your friends can see "Oh look, Joey is changing his baby's diaper! How fascinating! Thank god this Twitter service exists. I don't know how I could live without it"

I don't get it either, I don't want people to know where I am at all times and what I'm doing, makes things way easier for stalkers.

I don't know if this is a joke but I laughed hard when I read TC post.

Is this for real? Oh and Twitter is a waste imo. A little too stalkerish.

It's stupid. Who gives a **** about what you are doing every hour?

"Just got back from Starbucks," an hour later, "Walking the dog," an hour later "Gonna hop in the shower." Seriously, what's the point?

It's a site for idiots that have too much free time and want the attention of everyone because they're cool like that. It's so you can always be aware, whether you like it or not, of what someone else is doing. Tbh, there is no practical use for twitter, other than stalking someone or something : s

If you have to do a report on an internet phenomena for work, I'd say go for youtube. It actually has some practical uses and marks a breakthrough for the internet. Twitter is just a waste of time.

I cannot stand Twitter. It's like they stole the status update feature on Facebook, so all you do is update your Twitter all day long to tell people what you're doing. "I just got home. Now I'm upstairs. I sat down. I blinked 4 times. I'm going to make food. I walked downstairs... yadda yadda." Of course, it's really only for people who need a certain amount of attention. That may sound mean, but why would you post all your business if you didn't want people knowing it? I don't want people to know how I spend every second of my day and I certainly don't need them to comment on it. I can sleep at night knowing that I have some shred of privacy left. I think it's immature and obnoxious and I want NO part of it.

I don't understand it either. It seems like a watered down version of similar social networking sites (which personally I don't really care about to begin with). Of course, I've never even actually tried using it and I'm just basing this off of what I've heard about it, so there's a chance I have no idea what I'm talking about...

As far as I know, Twitter is a place where you constantly tell people what you are doing. By the way, Facebook has the same thing and then some.

It's quite simple, really. Now stalking is effort free! As much and as many celebrities as you like! Whenever! Do you want to plan an assassination? Do you want to frame someone for murder? Break into their house? It's here, it's easy, and it's free! Twitter, fun for all.
