I don't particularly care for it.  Any other opinions?

Yes. I wear high heels Krowdon. Any tips on how I should do my hair?

Its an odd concept, I can't really see why people obsess over it
Personally I lack the urge to tell the world what I'm doing every second of the day, but some people enjoy it so...  sure.
A Goldfish has an attention span of 3 seconds...  so do I

Lately I've considered Twitter to be a less conspicuous version of Facebook.

Everyone is keen on the idea that you can see what ALL your friends did last night at the bar. Everyone wants to know your "status" every time it's updated. But there seems to be a lot of facebookers who don't "get" the Twitter concept... To me Twitter is exactly that, just a little bit more obvious. It doesn't hide behind a fakely constructed social medium.

Basically, Twitter = facebook status feed... Except on Twitter it's way easier to appropriately control your image. Which is why public figures use it like politicians and famous people.

So far i'm enjoying following some of my fav musicians who use twitter. I get to learn about their recordings when they're working on their album.

Right now I'm following David Usher, who fronted Moist (remember them from the 90's?)

Quoting so people can see it after April Fool's. =) I couldn't stop laughing from the first sentence. "what ALL Snare's friends did last night at the bar"....rofl.
