Look, I don't tweet and am not too familiar with Twitter, but the one time I did look at it, the tweets were all Ashton Kutcher updating his locations throughout the night and his oh so deep and insightful thoughts. Why did McQueen feel the need to tweet the death of his mother a few weeks ago? Who was he talking to? His fans or his network? Let's just stick to Buzz. I know tweets are heavily used in the tech industry but again, what for? What type of personality prefers the 150 character restraints with an unknown audience? Who are the little birdies and what do they want from us? Is twitter for the lonely and the desperate? A reaching out to no one? Maybe that's a Consider issue, 'who tweets?' Or maybe, don't give twitter extra attention, let the fad die. Is it possible that tweeting is primarily used for the celebrity network?

Is twitter for the lonely and the desperate? A reaching out to no one?
Maybe that’s a Consider issue, ‘who tweets?’ Or maybe, don’t give twitter extra attention, let the fad die.
