Great blog, couldn't agree more, twitter is for loosers, go to the pub and have real conversations with real people, this facebook page is for those who agree

Anyone who is willing to make her- or himself so available has no right to complain about the government or any other entity being "big brother!" If you open every moment of your life for the world's inspection, it's your own fault.

People understand your points. I think the problem with all this chatter, is that it is being broadcast in public and for the record. It raises the question of WHY. Why would you want to use something like that where other people can search Google and Twitter and find everything you are chatting about? Oh I know, because it will increase traffic back to you/your site and or make you more popular? There are some fundamental issues which are disturbing, especially with regards to privacy. Why don't you just use a chat room or IM service if all you want is to make friends? Why do you have to put everything on display for public records? That's the strange thing.

Why does a company need to use Twitter to get in touch with customers and provide customer service when this can be done using the support channels already in place? You mean with Twitter, if anyone is found complaining or bad talking the company, the company can intervene and contact the customer? People gripe about companies all over the place, not just Twitter. That's part of business. Mostly all your points are just weak attempts to justify Twitter's legitimacy. Look at yourself for example, you provide nothing of value but yet you have over 6,000 people following your petty communications. That is what I call sad. But I'm sure it makes you feel important.

Who cares about posting a link back to your blog site for a blog article written by you. You could have just told us some of your points here. Guess you need to use every opportunity to squeeze traffic to your site. Bet that's what you love about Twitter too.

I signed up for an account as well, and I soon discovered that it is a waste of time. Everyone has a different experience I guess. But here is what I do find: The only people who seem to be active and enjoying the use of Twitter, are people who are pushing their products and or services, or people who need attention. There is no real "audience" on Twitter, just users. The fuel behind Twitter is the geeks and true to life addicts who use it.

Btw, if you want to find a job you should use Workopolis or Monster, not sending a tweet to your followers.

Unless Twitter come s up with a more complex search engine, it will eventually go the way of Yahoo, Netscape , AOL and the others. Understanding the model is streamline (less traffic, more micro, exclusive,etc), yet someone will come up with an idea to involve the more casual user, find way to incorporate its base, it will lose traction..
