Why Twitter?

Video: Twitter in Plain English: This video attempts to explain what value Twitter brings to the world. I will admit that after watching it, I maybe have some understanding about what people see in Twitter.

But I still think it’s creepy. We don’t have to know about everything that happens, all the time.

Like the video says, one of the first things we ask each other is “What are you doing?” Twitter seems to do a fine job of removing the need to ask that question.

And that’s a little sad.
