Twitter has to be the weirdest, coolest, strangest, most addictive, insanely inane tool ever added or created in the history of the Internet. OK I know the Internet isn’t that old to most people but honestly, Twitter is like a food court without a mall. For those who have no idea what Twitter is, it’s like Facebook but without the Face … or the book. It’s the new millennium version of a photo hut, here’s what you do on it:

1. Sign up, it’s free.
2. Tell people what you’re doing in 140 words or less.
3. Click send.
4. Watch your friends do the same.

See? It’s like a status update on Facebook but honest to silicon valley … that’s it. There are no photos, no notes, no app requests, no events … nothing else. So why’s it so addictive? What’s the coolest part of Facebook other than finding out that your high school sweetheart got really fat and checking out photo’s of your buddies drunk girlfriend? The status updates. For those of you who are Facebook Virgins (FV’s), there’s this little box on everybody’s profile that reads “Christopher is …” and users put in the rest. They’re short, one line bursts of details such as:

• Christopher is in the shower.
• Christopher is off to the movies.
• Christopher is thinking of a new status message.

You get the hint (actually, they no longer need the is but I still like using it). All day long people updated this little box to tell you everything from how much they had to drink to where they’re thinking about eating dinner and that’s exactly what Twitter is … 24 hour a day updates from hundreds of your friends, co-workers, fat high school sweet hearts, family and businesses you care about in one constant stream of really cool voyeuristic mess.

Oddly where Facebook tends to annoy me, Twitter is the exact opposite. Most people I follow (or who follow me) are into the same things that I am, so by following them I get to know who’s updated a portfolio, or added a new blog entry or finished watching the latest episode of Battlestar. 

Frankly I love it and so I’m going to skip all the protocols here at jump straight to it … I triple dog dare you to Twitter me.
