    I joined twitter and posted a few things here and there...mostly when I had a new article for my blog. No serious micro blogging at all for me though. a few people on here used it pretty hard-core though..
    It's like JFK announcing the moon mission. He had no expertise in space travel, and no way of knowing if it would work. He just announced "we're going to the moon" and then they made it happen because everyone was on the same page and working towards the same goal. If he had said "well, let's get some people in space, and we'll see how far out we can get, and if I find someone to make a rocket strong enough, we could possibly approach the moon's orbit and maybe land" it wouldn't have happened.

    TBCS uses it to notify members of new front page postings.

    I can understand if you don't like twitter, but why do people always have to hate on it. No one is forcing you to go there and read about what they ate for lunch. It's entirely up to you. Twitter is as useful as you make it. Choose who you follow carefully and it can be a useful tool.

    Twitter is much easier for people to configure and get updates on their phones.

    The wost thing about Twitter is its popularity, especially with the traditional media. I mean, the local news cast reported that Twitter was down today, which is completely irrelevant to what's happening in Minneapolis/St. Paul. Then there are the stupid Best Buy ads promoting their twitter address. The Verizon wireless ads with the stupid parents epitomizing the most annoying users of Twitter and Facebook.

    Personally, I don't hate Twitter. However, I do think it is a fad, and really look forward to its departure from the spotlight.

    I don't know how hard it could be to configure a RSS reader, I mean it's just XML. Twitter is more or less a proprietary format. Then again, I don't read RSS feeds and don't have a "smart" phone.
