I may or may not know what Twitter is really supposed to be for. Maybe it's a hip urban spontaneous social gathering tool, or maybe it's a social networking micro-blog slash IM app that for some inane reason includes SMS. The point is rather moot when no one reads what you write. Twitter failed me yesterday because only half of the people who usually chat with me even know what was going on some 12 hours after the tweet. Was it Twitter's code? No, it was the social network aspect of Twitter that failed.
When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
For what it's worth, I see
For what it's worth, I see twitter as a way to find out what's going on with a large swath of people at the current moment. As such, I don't expect a large majority of people to see what I write, and technical limitations of twitter won't even let me see lots of what other people write.
Obviously, this is not how everyone sees it, but it's just one man's opinion.
