So wait, I'm going to put information about myself and what I'm doing into a huge online database of activities? I can't see this being used to profile...
I think the biggest misconception when a) blogging or b) twittering is that anyone really cares wtf your doing. seriously. spend your time more wisely than this. you've got one shot at a short life and your going to spend it reading "jaxx0hr33 is reading www.animalpr0n.com"?
Anyone who doesn't understand Twitter tends to see only inane pointless messages. For example, why should I care if someone is reading their email?! I'm interested if a friend has just seen a movie I might want to see or some other talking point, but couldn't care less if they have just arrived at work.

What a complete waste of time. Another circle-jerk idea like MySpace. Soon it will be slow, crappy, and full of advertising.
