What the hell is all this fuss about Twitter. I have been reading Scoble and many other blog about twitter for the last few months. I looked into it a few months ago, but I just didn’t see the purpose. I didn’t see why I should take 5-20 timeouts in my day to let the world know what I am doing. If someone cares, they can IM me or call me. I looked at the description and just didn’t see the use.
“A global community of friends and strangers answering one simple question: What are you doing? Answer on your phone, IM, or right here on the web!”
While the idea is pretty cool, it’s just not for me. The other day, James Kedrick put JKOntheRun on Twitter and I almost made a little post here on my blog wondering what the big deal is to everyone. (update: Dave Zatz’s comment to Jame’s post sums it up for me)Well, the notion passed and I moved on.
Today, I get to reading my feeds and Scoble proved a point to me. His post I had a good blog post planned but then… related to a new tool someone put together where these twitters info are put up on a map overlay where they live. I got from this post that he wasted much time watching this and productivity suffered. 
Anyhow, there is no doubt that this is a quite popular utility based on a Google blog search for Twitter. 15 Posts in the last hour.
Anyone want to explain how this can personally help me or my websites? What is the use really?
