Oh hush. I'm only teasing.

Twitter's a toy; a communal toy, for sure--and a toy whose amusement value is directly related to the quality of the playmates with whom you choose to share it.

As such, if you follow people who have aspirations towards entertainment (Lore & Livingston, for instance, or Sifl and Juno), Twitter can be a remarkably amusing feed or c(h)at thread. If you follow the same real-life dullions who are posting "Thx 4 the add" in MySpace comments over and over, you're likely to get bored with it very easily, as the thread becomes a series of "At work...going to bed...watching TV..." ad nauseum.

You personally probably get twitter shoved at you more than other folks because you tend towards the entertaining and whimsical, and not the mundane obsession with your own dull viscera. An audience wants to be entertained, and having random Spatchiness delivered via SMS to a cell phone would be awesome.

But that's just me; I send out random amusing text messages to cell phones semi-regularly anyway, eliciting responses of "Who is this?" which is always nice.

I shoulda knowed!

I often send MBTA haiku to folks if I'm stuck on the train and have nothing else to do, but I make sure to only SMS people who are cool with it, and don't have to pay (or mind paying) to receive text messages cause the last thing I'd wanna do is cost you 10 whole cents to read THE DRUMMER FROM DEF LEPPARD'S ONLY GOT ONE ARM!

And were you to set up a twitter account, and copy it on the MBTA Haiku, the rest of us could read it as well, for nothing more than the social stigma of having a twitter account.

Again--my own take. I got an account to see if Lore could make what I thought would be terribly dreary mundane experience amusing, and indeed he has. As has pretty much everyone else I follow. Dave Neilsen, on the other hand, is all about eating lunch and talking on the phone.
