Twitter... and the point would be?

So to me Twitter seems like texting on your cell phone, but for your computer... I can't help but think... what's the point?

So, I understand texting on a mobile device such as a cell phone, but on a computer using a site that sends small "notes" to all your friends about what you are doing doesn't seem very useful to me. Myspace and Facebook have "status updates" which I use when I log on to let people know how I am for that day in general... but as far as what's going on in my life in a moment to moment basis??? Call me old fashioned but that's a little much.


I mean my own parents would get sick of hearing from me on that kind of timeframe, and they brought me into this world! Shoot, if I recieved my own mesages from Twitter, I'd probably annoy myself.


Nah, I don't think I will ever get into Twitter... I'm not that into finding out EVERYTHING about people, epecially over the internet. (I already can't believe some of the things that people post about online instead of picking up a phone and actually talking to people - one gets automatically recorded on a server, and, unless you are in serious trouble with the US government, the other doesn't)


If you want to sit down and have a good conversation over and nice game of chess that's one thing, but sending random notes over the internet just makes me feel like I am back in middleschool. (I went through that experience once already no need to re-live it thanks.... though my grammar may improve considerably.)
