Am I the only one who thinks Twitter is the most useless thing ever?

Perhaps one of 100,000 people has a message so profound yet concise that it can be said in 140 characters or less. I just don't "get" Twitter or why people are enamored of it.

I just signed up today because pretty much everyone I know is on there but me.. It seems like a great way to have a lot of news feeds in one spot..

No offense to anyone here, but I think it is a site most enjoyed by shallow, narcissistic 20-somethings who feel their every move and thought must be documented.

I’m sure everyone doesn’t fall into that category, but I tried it for a bit and found it awfully boring.

No . I agree totally - but they should run out of money soon - being that they haven’t figured out how to bring in revenue much less make a profit.

I am of a similar opinion. It seems more of a "hit and run" on any given topic.

It seems more like a web based 'chat room' environment or headline site.

[But, I don't get 'texting' either. If one takes the time to type out a message on a cell phone, why not just dial the number and tell the recipient in person or leave a voice mail. 'Texting' actually seems to be a giant step backward.]
