My family is not that tech savvy, my boss I’d rather not have him see “what I am doing right now”, my colleagues - nah; my fans? I have few, maybe, but not sure if they are twitter users.

Would I want to know what my friends are doing right now? Not really. Not in 140 Characters. Yes, you can find out what your friends are doing right this minute. But seriously…do you care?

It’s hard to explain why Twitter is so popular. Is it for self-gratification that I twitter (and imagine that the world is reading my crap?).

I just don’tget it (of course, if I’m Julia Roberts, twitter might make sense. But she might be not savvy enough to get it).

Twitter’s chatty nature and intuitive usability has resulted in instant popularity, and today Twitter is hangin’ in the inner most circle of the tech-savvy in-crowd. So much so that when there were outages last week, so many people went bonkers. Why? What am I missing?

“had a hard day at work”

“reading ‘wired’ ”

“came back from a jog”

“yawn”

Yes, yawn!

(But some of them *are* funny.)

Twitter is the new kid in the block. Now let us see them make some money. They survived the first year, how will it go for the company from here? There are already copycats out there, and technologically, it is not a rocket that it can’t be copied. It’s going to be fun to watch them for the next 6 months.

BTW, Will I twitter? Thanks, but I prefer to blog.
