Now you and your high school friends can pretend to be like the NYSE and give everyone following you up-to-the minute details on your day.

It shouldn't be surprising that this is popular. Facebook, all the social-networking bullshit before it, YouTube and more. Just accept that little to nothing on any of those things is important, and is worth nothing until you can find a way for it to positively benefit you.

One of the senators, I think from Minnesota, twitters her thoughts and shit that happens in the senate when she feels like it. Useful twitter feed!

A lot of other senators apparently have communication aids that twitter for them.

It is just yet another way to get news. I signed up to follow a twitter of the devils blog I read, but I already have it on RSS feed and I keep the feed on a bar on my web browser, so the twitter feed is pretty useless. I'm all for options though, so I can't knock it, but it's pretty useless for me.

I can see high schoolers and middle schoolers going fucking crazy with it though. I remember when I kept a livejournal...
