I use it but mainly only so that I can update my facebook status (and status on blogs) in once neat central location.

Aaargh, anticlimax of the month! One tweet hardly counts as "using Twitter". I am gonna follow you, but you have to say something!

It's where you go when your friends tell you you're addicted to Facebook, so that they won't know that you are still addicted, you've just redirected your addiction to someplace they're not watching.

From what I've seen of Twitter, all you do is post stuff like "I just used the bathroom." and "I just read a book."

Kind of like a glorified away message, I guess.

I also had that feeling initially, so the first time I had a profile there, I deleted it after a day, thinking, "What's the point?"

What Twitter is used for differs from person to person. Some people call it microblogging, but I wouldn't say it's that. For me it's a bit like an asynchronous chatroom. I go there mainly to socialise. I have a fair number of Aspie and ADHD friends there too.

For some people it's about networking for business; for some it's marketing. I have a different Twitter profile for my business, where I use my real name and post announcements of events which they can attend.

WrongPlanet.net also has a profile and the headlines of the new threads here appear on Twitter. I often click on those links at Twitter when it looks like something new and interesting. I suppose that functions something like an RSS feed does for a feed reader.

Twitter, Facebook and Myspace are sh*t in my opinion I would rather watch paint dry than go on any of them.
