What did you have for dinner?

Personally, I have never been someone who has ever really understood the point of blogging. I never feel like I have enough to say, or better yet anythingthat someone else would find interesting! So since blogging, and facebook statuses have never been something I have frequently used, I was very skeptical about twitter.

After the first glance at Twitter, I was sort of confused by the concept…why would someone want to use something like this? I did some research and came up with some reasons:

• Providing relief from the email and IM world that often wants to consume us…
• Allows people to share information that they normally would not through other forms of communication.
• You can use third party applications
• It is a way to quickly let people know something and to receive a prompt response from those that are “following” your account.

Some people love twitter and others hate it, because they feel overly connected to their friends and acquaintances. Some think it is odd to know what people are having for dinner, why they are late to work, what movie they just saw and yet others love knowing all these minute details of people’s lives.

I personally do not think that I will use twitter after tonight, but I can see why many find it useful and addicting!
