Who Twitters Anyway?

Do you know anyone who actually uses Twitter?

Is it just an ongoing conversation to waste more time in your day? Blogging isn’t enough? By phone, email or instant message, has anyone had enough of this yet? Don’t we get enough “junk” in our email or don’t we get enough random text messages into our phone, either from a wrong number or our phone service telling us about a new ring tone special this month. I don’t get it, I had a hard time just blogging, now I am doing it, however reluctantly. I don’t know why twitter is so big, I do know that my daughters friends are doing it now and sending random and immature quotes and questions to everyone in their phone list, just to get back more random answers. Is this taking more time away from our kids and their social skills with “actual” people? Is this also just raising their cell phone bill so that their parents can keep paying for it?

Now, my co-workers may disagree with me about “twitting”, however at this time, I am confused by the whole concept. But then again, I didn’t like blogging at first either, maybe it will suck me in too!
