I tried it awhile back too and it was slow and I thought uhhhh...what's the point.
Tried it again today and it's even slower. Help me understand - please!

You know, I looked at the Twitter site awhile back and was pretty underwhelmed. In the last week it's been absolutely EVERYWHERE which has been a bit more than annoying. I've actually jumped just about every item in my feed reader that has Twitter in the title just because I'm so sick of hearing about it.

I'm not saying it's a bad service - I'm just utterly shocked at how quickly it has taken off.

That said - last night I came up with a potential use for it that I'm going to be experimenting with. It seems like a great thing for developers and people working on group projects, but is it really something that a regular blogger can find value in?

I've never looked into Twitter before, but have a quick read up now and to me it seems pretty pointless. I'm not someone who's that bothered what other people are up to unless I have a reason to be, in which case I'd be aware by other means what I'd need to know.

I'm certainly no nosy neighbour watching out the window what other people do! Maybe it's kind of concept that appeals to those people?

Quite often people put on their MSN what they are doing, what music they're listening to, in most cases it really doesn't bother me then neither!

Does that make me anti-social or just not nosy?
