I like to see posts from some of my favorite comedians, radio shows, movie directors, and some clients.

I think most of Twitter's popularity comes from being able to receive the person's feelings/thoughts right at that moment. Provided they aren't screened by that person's agent or PR person. I believe Ashton Kutcher doesn't screen his, and that's how his wife's pics (or something like that) were on the net.
It's a cool idea. I haven't used it yet, I dunno who I'd be interested enough in following.

I would have to say that Twitter defiantly has it's uses and benefits.
For example the Iranian people revolting and organizing after almost all forms of communication was blocked by the Iranian government.
Twitter has a play in this Iran revolution, I hope people around the world are watching and learning from the people of Iran.
They are also using Facebook by posting pictures of the army militants faces that are beating and killing random men, women and children, all over the internet, which is making the militants very worried about being identified and prosecuted if the people DO take back their government |

It's bad enough I had to fight to keep my friends with the same free e-mail providers, then I had to fight to keep them on the same IM program, Then I had to fight to keep them on one profile site, Now Ihave to fight to keep them on the same blog site.
Here's my advice:
Step One: Offer your friends the option of using a program like Pidgin or Trillian. If that fails, screw it, give them you contact info and tell them to contact you when they wish to talk.

I've seen just *one* use of it that made sense: as a tool for communicating between a presenter and an audience (e.g., a large lecture session in a university). Beyond that, it seems pointlessly instantaneous for a broadcast-style medium. Simply put, unless a communication is directly for me and requires real-time return communication, it seems a bit pointless. And, if it does, there's things like the phone or AIM/Yahoo/MSN/gTalk.

If you actually had the "real job" that you claim - that keeps you too busy to piss off to a mall - you'd have other, more pressing things to do than wasting time online or with Twitter.

I guess placing software consultants for the past 15 years doesn't allow me any free time. Silly me.

So you can call up Kevin Smith and talk to him about howthe filming is going on his new movie, or maybe shoot him an IM? Wow, you are important.
I like to read what is going on with things like that. Opie and Anthony post pictures during the show. You read it, say "that's neat" and then move on.
