Have it. Use it once or twice a year, tops. Mostly I have it for following specials that airlines advertise there & such...
Just doesn't work for me.
I can't USE it because I'm somewhat unwilling to be(translation: absolutely incapable of being) that brief. I'm a librarian - I love words! Takes me twenty tweets to say a proper "good morning"! I also don't have the time or the patience to pull my phone out and say something deep and meaningful (briefly) every fifteen or twenty minutes. PLUS.... my life is boring. No one really wants to hear "yuck - lunchroom is serving cheese pizza again." or "bar code and record for Curious George completed!" "Bar code and record for 39 Clues completed!" "Bar code and record for Horrible Harry completed!" "Damn computer puked again - no more bar codes today!" fifty times a day. Once is enough.
I can't READ it because... well, it turns out most people's lives aren't any more interesting than mine, and I don't want to hear about it fifty times a day any more than they want to hear about mine. If they DO have interesting lives... they only tell 140 characters worth, and leave you going nuts wanting to know the rest of the story. Sometimes they don't do either of the previous... sometimes they make up straaaaaange little tweets in an effort to sound "deep."
"There's always a bucket of Skittles at the end of the monochromatic rainbow. Velvety vuvuzela ... wow."
You're welcome to look me up. If you "tweet" to me, I think I'll get an email or something about it... if not, it could be several months before I'm aware that you said anything.
