    Anyone use it? I've signed up for it and I just don't get it. Does anyone understand it? I don't see how on earth it's supposed to be useful

    I'm going off facebook as well, whereas David - a former sceptic - is a fuly signed up member of facebook pirate battleships.

    It's the same thing as Facebook status updates.

    I could take it or leave it, but I'd definitely rather not know what somebody had for breakfast. Or how many times they've been the loo today.

    I've only watched somebody's twitter for "realtime" updates on the status of something I was waiting for the release of (a video game). I then got bored and went shopping and - of course - they released it whilst I was out.

    The usefulness comes in it simplicity in mobile-micro-blogging.

    The site (on a phone) is really useful to use, you can also send updates via text message, and get friends updates sent as text messages to you for nothing. It does personal (albeit, public ones) messages (online or sms) as well (using things like @andy and @pete at the beginning of a message)

    There are also tons of somewhat interesting third-party add-ons

    as for what its good for, i think i read it best as "international group text messaging without anything like the cost".

    I think its best used for and by the bloggerati types like Cory Doctorow, who would have international friends and a web-presence to maintain

    Facebook pirate battleships was only while Petra was at a particular job where the only thing the firewall would let through was Facebook.

    You want us to actually work during the day? pah.

    Please never let bloggerati become a common word.

    I'm a fan. It's addictive. And it's in your pocket. Better than fags.

    OK. I think the only way I'm going to 'get' twitter is by widening the circle of people who I link in to.

    "follow" me or whatever it is and I'll follow you. This is me: http://twitter.com/firetail

    I'm giving it a week before I shut it down.

    True enough. But you have more interesting news.

    Can we create an account for our youngest ever member?
