I know what is is but I don't get it.

Oh, I understand the concept but I still don't get it. It's stupid. Someone change my mind?

I agree. I have friends who are all spoogey over it, and I asked them to explain it to me. There have been no sufficient explanations.

Thinkgeek has a probe you put down into a potted plant's soil, and it sends out twitter updates.

That and Rick Sanchez are the only reasons I'm aware of Twitter.

Twitter is for people who are self-centered and believe other people actually care about what they think all the time.

I should get one!

There are some cool people you can follow. For example I've heard that quite a few game developers use Twitter and they often give some interesting insights into the world of game development etc.
There are also celebrities and crap if you like that sort of thing.

True, but those types don't comprise the majority of users. As far as I can tell it's just randoms deluding themselves into thinking that others care what they're doing.

Mine would be awesome, though. Because, ya' know, I'm actually interesting. And stuff.

I tried it and thought it was dull. But then I came across the characters of Peep Show. No idea if it's the real writers or fans posing as them, but I spent a good 10-15 minutes being amused by their banter back and forth.

I've never been to twitter, but I would imagine it's just as stupid as that god awful I-Mockery.com site. I hate hate that place, has anyone ever even posted on I-Mockery? It sounds lame.

Jhonen Vasquez and Chris Livingston's twitters are the only ones that mildly interest me. I guess it's more of a fanboy resource than anything else.

I think all the goofy shit that isn't you texting things is pretty cool.
