I’m with Ben on this.  I’m always open to new things and seeing bit of buzz about Twitter, I wanted to understand what it was all about and where it fit.  Thus the placement on this blog and my attempts to use it by updating it with various things I am/was doing.  The question remains – who cares?  As my good friend Michael asked me yesterday via voicemail – "what the hell is that twitter thing for?"  I found my answer lacking, so maybe I just don’t get it yet.  I’ll keep trying.  I figure if Ben, who is 19, doesn’t get it immediately then I am in pretty good company.  And for those of you that really have nothing else to do, there is always TwitterVision – an overlay of "twitters" on a Google map.

The good news is that although Twitter seems to be having some growing pains, I have an alternative in Jaiku according to TechCrunch. 

We can all breathe a sigh of relief…
