I mean Twitter is another in the long line of pretentious web 2.0 apps that lionize peoples everyday mundane activities to a level of some interest mostly for the benefit of other people whose lives are even more boring then your own.
Too much?


believe it or not there are interesting people using twitter to broadcast interesting material on a regular basis to a lot of people. you may have to do some searching and, god forbid, look at some normal, everyday people on the way through but they are there. if these people had a blog that consisted of the same material, i'm pretty sure a lot of twitter's naysayers would read them. it seems to me that the app itself really rubs people up the wrong way to the point where they refuse to acknowledge the possibility that it may be a useful tool.

press retweet to publish it to your twitter account. (if you have one)
