I have a Twitter account. While I am a bit befuddled about Facebook, I have absolutely no idea why I would use Twitter. The most posts I made with my account was when I had to use Twitter for Nike tech support. I guess they figure every issue can be described in 140 characters or less. As for solutions, “Did you reboot?” is only 13 (I’m not sure if Twitter counts spaces) so no problem there.
The best uses for Twitter seem to be as a quasi-Facebook with fewer words, an efficient tool for online harassment and as a way to communicate if your country is in the midst of a revolution/war. I can just make short posts on Facebook, online harassment is bad and people should stop it, and my country is currently not experiencing a revolution, unless you count Tim Hortons being sold to an American company.
And yet I will keep my account, because maybe one day there will be a “random Twitter account is awarded a million dollars” contest or something. A million dollars is a lot of money, even in Canadian.
