I have a twitter. I think I've said like 3 thing on it.

I don't understand the appeal, not really. When I want to talk to people, I just get their number and text them, and if I want to talk to a lot of people that I know, I send out a group text. If I need to organize an even or send a link, well, I have e-mail or facebook, even if I rarely use it.

I follow people I think are interesting but overall I just get snippets of a conversation I'm not a part of, I have no context for their jokes and since I listen to the giantbombcast I hear all the best stuff from their twitter anyway.

So why do regular ass human beings use it? I understand the need for a PR platform that let's you put out small messages, but that's not useful for a regular human being. What's the deal, other people?
