35th thing - TWITTER

Well The New York Times might call Twitter "one of the fastest-growing phenomena on the Internet." and TIME Magazine may say, "Twitter is on its way to becoming the next killer app," but I am unconvinced. Who on earth has time to do this? A simple search shows that 100's have the inclination but this is not for me.
I was able to set up the task and search for people to follow plus link to my mobile phone. It was pretty straight forward but for me I am not interested in following complete strangers.
I guess it would be a good tool if you had friends or colleagues on Twitter and you were able to use it for some purpose.

Perhaps Twitter is useful for "niche" interests and activities? Some LIS colleagues are following library tweets.
