Wanted

One opinion.
Go on then sell me on this twitter thing. Why should I use it? Would it be worthwhile to me? Is there any point to it other than more noise to signal...?

I still haven't got the point of it...

As far as I can see, it's another "social network" thing like facebook (which I only joined this year)...

The only benefit I can see is that one of my fave websites often does competitions via twitter...

If you get any "yey I'm a twit...terer, and it's good for XYZ reasons" type answers, I might change my mind...

I'll be watching this space. :)

It's for:
-: Sending short, simple messages to friends. @messages are basically about having a laugh with someone, but in a 'public place'. Which is handy if they're messages of support, as you'd want others to do the same.

-: Making wry comments on the world/venting. This ties into Facebook, so it's basically the same thing as facebook status updates, just snappier.

-: Seeing the wry comments made by people you like hearing wry comments from.

-: For playing Fallen London .
