I'm an old school geek... That being said, I do enjoy much of the new-fangled Web 2.0 social media stuff; I just don't have time for most of it. But, can someone explain Twitter to me? Maybe I'm just not the right target for this widget. I can't think of a single person who would be interested in what I'm doing or thinking from one minute to the next. Who has time to update that thing frequently enough to make it interesting? Of what use is it? I guess I just don't get it.
Or maybe I'm too boring and it's designed for people like...uh...press photographers in a war zone? Or famous movie actors in the process of making a blockbuster? I would read Twitter feeds from someone like that. Yeah. But people like that don't Twitter, that I've seen. :-) Instead it's a bunch of dullness like this:
person: I'm tired.
person: I ran out of milk. Need to go to the store.
person: Just got back from the store. Bought a bunch of stuff. Forgot the milk.
person: Feeling congested.
person: It's quiet today. Where is everyone?
Oooo. Riveting!
Updated: OK, I found Wil Wheaton's Twitter feed. His is interesting. So...there's one.
