The front page of their site looks far too tricksy and idiotic for my tastes. One to steer clear of, methinks.

Well it's official... I just asked my daughter and her best friend and neither one knows anything about twitter...

So IT MUST NOT EXIST!

I figure if two teenage, computer literate/obsessed girls know nothing about it... it ain't worth my time... :wink:

I actually checked it out, but I need to come back when I have more time.

Bebo is a social network platform and is not really comparable to twitter.

I've never heard of twitter. sounds interesting.

But don't we already have something on here that shows what the newest posts are? I'd rather sue that.
