re: indytim :
"For those of your who don't know what twitter is, take a look at this:http://current.com/items/89891774_ [...] itters.htmI can see it being useful only in certain cases, and only if it doesn't get to detailed. "Working on Anderson Document" or "Researching issue with new configuration file" would be useful in business situations."

There are a product for that already... They are called JIRA and Confluence. Both of which are great for work flow (100x better than Twitter). Twitter is just a fad.

Twitter is fucking lame. It provides no real value. I can't think of a single valid use for it. Its basically a history of Facebook status updates.

I really hope that is a rick roll, or at least "I'm on a boat" or something else good.

Geez. A lot of people here really seem to hate twitter.
Sure, twitter can be obnoxious if someone feels like being retarded and updates, but I find its really helpful to get messages out quickly to a bunch of friends (meeting times, places, etc).

Also good for getting quick headlines too.

Facebook is nice to keep in touch with old friends who I don't see that much. That's about it. Anyone who I talk to regularly, I don't really communicate with a lot on facebook. There's no need if I see them in person.

Twitter is old news, very stupid technology if you ask me. Mainstream now has "Twitter" and it's only a matter of time til its death. Once the mainstream fad hits a technology only has a short amount of time left. I think the comments hare are more telling than anything. When the early adopters say a technology is stupid that's the nail in the coffin.
