Do you Twitter?

Do you twitter?  I do.  Do you have as many followers as Ashton Kutcher?  I'm close. Not quite there yet (I mean I could, right?).  

Believe it or not, twitter is revolutionary.  Even Oprah Winfrey has her own twitter.  NBA.com, celebrities and major shows do too.  Twitter has received so much attention I felt compelled to blog about it.   

If you don't have a twitter you probably have at least heard of it.  Plain and simple, it's a status application that you can share with your "followers" where its simple question is "What are you doing?" with a small limitation of 140 characters per entry.  Boring twitterers (twitterers - people who have a twitter) usually enter boring, simple status messages like "I'm hungry" or "At school not paying attention to class" but fun, interesting twitterers enter witty, hilarious messages or just strange, funny occurences they encountered throughout their day (and some just decide to use it to share their daily sex facts like my friend does). 

Some people might think it's silly or lame but it's fun (if you know how to use it).  You'll be surprised by how many people are interested in what you're doing or what's happening in your life. It's just one extra, fun avenue to share your life with your friends, family and others. If you're reading this blog, you yourself are the type of person that's interested in what others have to say.  Same with "twitterers".  

Ultimately, you choose and decide who to follow (whose tweets you want to read) and you can delete those who send those boring, unnecessary tweets that people send when they have nothing else to do but share their dull life (for example "under my covers" or "walking my cat around the block").  Who walks their cat anyways?   

What do you think?  Is twitter lame, overrated and just another social utility like Facebook and MySpace or is it really revolutionary, fun and a great creation for those of us looking to share our life, stories and ideas with others?
