This is a short response to Twitter. It's cool for cool people, but not for me. YET.
Like Tumblr, I used to blindly hate Twitter as well, and for the same reason, it looked stupid, hard to understand quickly, and it seemed only good for popular people or celebrities of some type. However, Twitter was even farther out in left field for me than Tumblr. If I did not sign up for my Intro to Computer Mediated Communications class, I most definitely would not have taken any interest in Twitter unless I got famous in some way. I was always under the impression that it was just a popular person thing.
After a couple months of using Twitter, I began to see the relevance of it. It definitely is not just for important people and others of the like. It's also a great way to communicate with your friends. Same as Facebook. You can even connect the two together, so when you make tweets, they will show up as posts on Facebook, killing two birds with one stone, even though there's only one bird here. (Hahahaha, get it, because Twitter has a bird logo? Greatest pun ever.)
Anyway, Twitter ended up not being a complete waist of time. I also follow a couple of people that inspire me to do greater things, such as the voice actor Steve Blum or animator Max Gilardi or even singer, song writer Al Yankovic. Twitter is a great social tool.
