I don’t get Twitter

Are peo­ple actu­ally fol­low­ing what I have to say? I’ve got 24 fol­low­ers, none of whom I know. I have trou­ble believ­ing my four tweets of the past two years (that aver­ages to an update every six months) is enough to keep people’s attention.

Sure, Twit­ter is great for celebri­ties. If only there were celebri­ties I cared enough about to war­rant receiv­ing an update every time they posted a tweet. But there aren’t. Sorry MC Ham­mer, I do not care what you had for breakfast:

I caught the “Red-Eye” and now it’s time for “Shut-Eye”!!! I had a lit­tle break­fast.… wait.. I might mess up my hair ! oh, Le coconut !!!

So what IS Twit­ter good for? Prob­a­bly some­thing, but what, I don’t think any­one knows. Since its incep­tion in 2006 by Jack Dorsey, it hasn’t turned a dol­lar of net profit.
