I Don't Understand Twhy

I am about to show you how uncool I am, but I do not understand Twitter.

As far as I can tell by not being a "tweeter," Twitter is the same thing as a constantly updating your facebook status. And it requires its own network, but I already have a facebook network and I think that is sufficient. Though I do love perusing people's facebook statuses when I'm bored, I don't really want to be constantly e-bombarded with everyone's tweets.

Normally I would be 100% supportive of something that involves making up its own vocabulary. (The "peeps" who follow your tweets = tweeps. Love it!) And the one benefit I see is that you are limited to 140 characters, which makes effective tweeting pretty much like effective plogging. But still, I can't get on the twagon.

Feel free to disagree.

Twoem(?):

Email is instant.
Love letters are sweet.
But I don't understand
Why people tweet.
