Twitter

I have a few friends who use it and have it echoed to their LJ so I see it.

I have yet to see a single Twitter post where I've said "wow, glad to know that."

But then I don't have any desire for people to know what I am doing at every given moment. Nor do I have an active spontaneous social life that would need to be updated on the fly. When I go out for dinner with friends I am not hoping that others will find out and tag along.

The site is blocked from work so no work value there (though I'm constantly on the work filtered IM so they have constant immediate access anyway).

But then I've never even been to the Facebook web site so I am definitely now in the "too old" school of internet users. Left in a corner mumbling that things were better with telnet, DOS command lines, and gopher was the pinnacle of networking on the internet.
