After what Sacha said a few weeks ago I joined Twitter just to see what it
was about. So far it's totally boring such that I find I hardly look at it
now after just a couple of weeks, the available space for a tweet is so
small there is no meat in any comment, you can't easily follow a discussion,
not that there can be a decent one with such limited space, nothing like as
good or as easy to follow as a Newsgroup.
I might add I also went onto Facebook a couple of years ago and came off
after a few months because that was also boring, mainly mindless chatter,
and I didn't like the default security setting which were dire, even
dangerous for children etc.
Considering the numbers that use them it must be me, what am I missing with
this Social Media?

To the best of my knowledge I have never read a tweet or anyone's
entry on facebook. From what I've read about them, they're for
mindless gossips. It seems to be a truism that twitter is for twits.

+1 The problem is though that companies are tending to use them in lieu
of emails, which can may it problematical.
