So, I signed up for Twitter about a month ago, because you can't really diss a site like Twitter until you use it. So, I decided to give Twitter a chance until I'm out of school at the end of April...and still...I just don't see it! You know when it is two in the morning and your mind is keeping you up/thinking, blocking your actual getting to bed? Well, Twitter, to me, is like those annoying thoughts, spralled out into 140 character bubbles that have no real purpose for being except TO BE. It's a fad, obviously. The majority of the people on there, including myself, have nothing interesting to say, ESPECIALLY the celebs. I don't care if you are knitting with grandma or taking the boys to soccer or shoving your face into a McDonald's Apple Pie (hmm, did I just diss myself with that one :pause:...). Anyway, it's a bunch of Facebook statuses and a site for lazy readers :cough: most Americans :cough: which is why it's probably so popular in the first place. As for the Breaking News aspect of Twitter, I sort of see how it can be good for getting information quick in certain situations but you have to use their HORRIBLE search feature to find the story, then you have to click on a ton of links to get to the actually vids or pictures (By the way, Twitter doesn't have any kind of picture/video uploading system tied into the actual site so you have to use third party systems to get this info on your profile). It's almost like a search engine instead of a "social networking" site. Twitter gets a C for Calamity in my book. TWEET!!!

P.S. I don't think advertisers should be looking into ways of advertising on Twitter. Twitter seems to be about self promotion.
