the weird thing with Twitter, too, i am finding... i get notices from
them (as all do) when someone starts to follow you... but the weird
thing is this: i have gotten a number of these notices regarding
people following me that I DONT EVEN KNOW!! lol.. why would a
stranger choose to follow someone they dont know, even on a very
casual level?
makes no sense. i got one just now, which prompted me to jump in with
a reply, here, too.
have a great weekend!

Twitter was created for kids as a variation on a gigantic chat
room. The reason you now see everything linked to twitter is that
the mass media quickly picked up on this idea (promoted by the
twitter creators) that it would make a great online "billboard" and
so they began pushing it as advertising medium -- so naturally
everyone now links every article, story, etc. to twitter in the
mistaken idea that they will get seen by lots and lots of people
(particular the young demographic targeted by most corporations).
But twitter has grown so huge so quickly -- with a zillion of
tweets per second being posted -- that it is now all just "white
noise". Anything you might post on twitter has a microscopic chance
of being noticed or read by anyone unless you happen to be a
celebrities of some kind. For regular people their tweet has as
much chance of anyone paying attention to it as any individual drop
of water in the ocean has a chance of being noticed. Basically,
it's the greatest waste of time ever invented -- and that includes
daytime soaps.

Just out of curiousity, do any of you use Twitter to connect with
movie poster collectors and movie enthusiasts who you could
introduce to the hobby?
