Thanks for in-detailed explanation of the matter of "Twitter-nomics", twistedmosaic.
I knew somewhat of the success and stories produced by the simplicity of using short blurps of text and a link to inform readers. It's also a tool used by celebrities and their fans alike to seem better at ease with other in terms of "relayed-relations".
I just cannot fathom wanting to use it. It may be the media-hype, it may be as I heard remarked this week if the service was never regarded as "Twitter", but something more professional/masculine sounding, the site would be as popular as google. But as it stands now, I see it as yet another diversionary site that I am unwilling to embrace because I have no need to be constantly updated about other people's lives and doings.
So goes my day when this occurs for failure to adhere.
