I'm not interested in Twitter . . . I barely access Facebook and MySpace anymore, adding another way for the same people to keep up with me isn't worth my time.

People should look around and see the world and not a teeny keypad and screen all the time.

It's great for customer service, for getting recommendations, and for getting help in a (non-911, non-AAA) emergency. Many non-profits have also used Twitter very successfully for fundraising drives. Yes, you have to manage how you interact with it so you don't waste time - TweetDeck helps - but it takes 2 seconds to unfollow anyone whose posts are irrelevant and/or uninteresting. There is significant value in Twitter if you take the time to understand how to use it to your personal advantage.

Twitter, seems to be aptly named as a tool of the social networks. It's real value , who can tell? What comes next, "Starlighting"? And what's up with social networks anyway ha ha .

Been using it since 2007, i love it. It's a great way to keep in touch with friends throughout the day. There are many applications for blackberry - so i choose when to read tweets and when to respond. it's a fun quick way to keep in touch or share the days events.

twitter is a waste of time and copy cat off other websites; facebook. its there to make people feel like they are important, when they really aren't.

I agree with you who think it is a waste of time. The world is far more interesting to look at than that little screen all day. Let's get real, people! Tilt your head back up and re-connect the old-fashioned way...face to face!

I use it to receive news headlines, concert tour updates, sport scores, weather, things like that. It's annoying when people use it to update what they're doing of no importance to me (just used the bathroom, eating cornflakes, etc.). It's also a quick way to let all of my contacts know if there is something happening that they may need to know about (Stuck in traffic, will be ten minutes late, can't make it to the movies tonight, etc.).

Personally, I think Twitter could be fun if it featured more than what it already does. I feel like a stalker though when you "follow" people around. The same goes for myself, having people "follow" me makes me feel very uncomfortable. The bottom line is: Twitter seems to be overrated and it becomes boring real fast. I know, because I've tried it and just like social networking Web sites, they become a wearing experience after awhile.
