I agree with the poster who recently likened Twitter to Mullets. We'll look back thoroughly embarrassed.

Keep dreaming, axod. Twitter is here to stay. You'll look back on your twitterlessness and be thoroughly embarassed. :-)

Is there any reason to use twitter if you have no need for social networking? I completely understand people joining a trend like say ricky gervasis to promote his hosting and oprah to promote her show but I honestly don't see a point for most normal people.

Try following people you find interesting, and then reading the interesting things they say and link to.

I honestly thought that's what blogs and rss feeds where for. Imposing an artificial limit on your posts just seem a bit... wrong.
