Twitter's hold on the human psyche

Twitter is like Planet Earth. Species that inhabit it may suffer extinction every now and then but the planet itself won't die.

A commentor on Get Real Post made this rather timely observation: “Twitter is one of the most indecipherable format[s] of communication ever invented. It’s full of half-conversations and inane ramblings.” True, as it would seem, to the outsider or non-tweep. It does look that way when you check in on your “timeline” infrequently. To be fair to the average tweep, there actually is a dialogue going on in there. You just need to hook yourself onto it in a more committed way.
