Twit.

So lately I have been coerced, persuaded and forced into peeking inside what is lovingly-dubbed 'Twittersphere' by my own twitterpated friends. They insist it's a practical tool for networking and doubly insist I sign up. But why? I have yet to figure that part out and they have yet to convince me.

It seems everyone and their Grandma are now updating their Twitter status every 9.5 mins. And I will admit, it is mildly amusing, but not enough to the point that I make an effort to stay updated. I already feel some people update their Facebook status far too often (I can't keep up!); perhaps this is the new method to their madness?

Does it not seem a bit vain to assume other twitter/ites/onians/philes want to know every mundane detail that's happening in our lives? I can understand Ashton Kutcher overtaking CNN and Oprah, but the rest of us don't lead such interesting lifestyles where our income is made from punking other celebs.

I sound cranky. I think I'll check out what my Facebook friends are up to-that oughta cheer me up.
