Gary, while there’s very little tech that in reality I could actually live without, I am very reliant on Twitter for a sensation of connectedness into my online life.

Totally get it now.

I went and looked at Twitter the first time I heard about it, and I left the site without any idea of what it’s supposed to be. I HATE that. There is no description, other than some nebulous marketing crap on the index page. So I read about it again last week, and decided to google it to find out what the heck Twitter is (they still don’t have a useful intro in their site), and I decided it sounded stupid. However, I said the same thing about blogging when I first heard about it, but I’ve now been blogging for almost 5 years. :\

Yeah, I just don’t get it either. I’ve tried. I’ve posted via IM, mobile phone, the web.. I’ve tried, I swear I have. It is lost on me

I’m hooked and I can’t explain why other than it’s kind of weird to see what people are thinking or doing at random points in the day.

eg:

“LOL – 4corners is doing a story on Second Life. Could this be related to the ABC having a virtual prescence there??” – frankarr

Frank’s my boss, but when I saw that I fliped the channel over to ABC to watch.

It’s all the noise and no signal, but thats cool right?

ASK me whether I like in a month or so and I’ll probably have a different answer
