    Oh I know what you mean, it does seem uselss. I was actually throwing the idea around of making it even more pointless and purposely adding things like you list here LOL. I seriously doubt I'll pick up any followers anyhow. I just added a bunch of politicians and musicians. One thing that is interesting is that some of the celebs have pictures you don't see anywhere else, oh well.. I can see me pitching it sooner or later.

    I actually registered about a month ago because of all the press. I had no clue what it was. lmao...I wouldn't have wasted my time if I had.

    A week later, I deregistered. LOL

    I guess all those people on twitter have more interesting lives than me, cuz I can't imagine what I'd 'tweet' about or why anyone would want to know.

    Wish I had thought to buy stock in it a year ago though!!! :-D

    I don't see any point in it myself... More like a waste of time, but I guess the youngsters have more time to spend on that stuff than we do.. :confused

    Well, not exactly re the youngsters, CNN is heavily invested in this twitter/facebook etc.as they now have all their anchors wasting their or subordinates time. It's not that bad, if one can get their point across in 140 characters without using j3rk speak.rolleyes

    I signed up a while back, but didn't really do anything with it for a while. I just don't spend enough time in front of my PC each day. Then I found out about mobile posting, and now I'm updating my FB, MS and TW all the time. I get a random thought that I want to share, I toss it up there.

    Honestly, more about feeling the need to feel like someone's listening to you than anything else I guess....

    *shrug* we'll see how long this fad lasts.

    I do have a FB account but I only opened it to contact an old girlfriend, rarely update or use it these days and the email account associated with it likely have loads of emails I have not read as just dont find time for FB and didnt really wish to go that route.
