Why Twitter, anyway?
Maybe I can’t answer that for myself, but this is as good an explanation as I’m likely to steal find:
What am I using Twitter for? Not there to sell anything. Don’t have anything I created that I want you to see. Just want to know what other people out in the world are doing, seeing, eating, creating. I have to stay here and do my own everyday stuff, but my mind would often rather be out exploring.
Then again, she put this on a blog. Go figure.

Count me as one of the few who Twitters just to blab. Isn’t that what Twitter was created for? But the commercial interests have crowded us “chatters” out.

I like it because it is fun. And because I am one of those people with poor “filters,” when I find something cool or think of something funny, I have to tell “someone.” And sometimes it’s not entirely good for the career for that “someone” to necessarily be your colleague down the hall.

If I experience “poor-filter” syndrome I usually just post a comment here.

My filtration is as dubious as anyone’s; I figure I’m probably producing at least my full share of smartass remarks, if not more, and since the Web and Twitter audiences don’t entirely overlap, I persuaded myself that Web visitors might actually be interested in some of my one-liners. Hence the little Ajax widget over on the sidebar.
