Twitter - the Emperors new clothes ?
In response to a blog from Alec I left the following comment, which is really a “dear lazyweb” question..
Err.. I might be missing something here, but..
What’s the point of twitter ?
AFAICS all you get is out of date information about what someone claimed to be doing some hours, days or weeks ago.
Sorry if I’m being dense..

On the one hand, I can’t see the point of Twitter either.
On the other hand, I didn’t see the point of blogging, iPods, the www, email, personal computers, or VCR machines before I started using them.
That’s not to say all new technology is bound to be useful. But I’m not quite ready to write it off completely.
