That's enough about Twitter

Any Twitterers out there will be more than familiar with the pained look of a sceptical non-Twitterer.* First the eyes glaze over. Then at the very mention of the words “social networking site” you get the pity stare.** By the time you’ve got to “no you don’t understand, it’s nothing like MyFace” well by then you’ve completely lost them.

The irony is, anyone not yet familiar with Twitter is the one deserving of a healthy dose of pity. Twitter is the latest social networking site, and it is nothing like Facebook, but I genuinely believe Twitter could well be our saving grace.

Twitter is a way of being privy to conversations that you would otherwise never be a part of. It’s a way of getting access to the most extraordinary amount of information that you would otherwise never be able to find. Twitter is what happens when millions of people come together to create something bigger than themselves.
