Twitter, worth the hype?

Twitter hype? - Do you have a twitter? Is it even worth it to have one, and how often would you even update the thing? I update about three times a day and have 50 followers. I mostly follow my friends, but a lot of people just follow celebrities. Any opinions on that? I'm not too concerned with what celebrities are doing every second but a lot of people treat them like royalty!

Does anyone else doubt the whole twitter hype? Everybody is doing it now, all these celebrities, however, every now and then you hear about a fake twitter account that really is not the celebrity who they claim to be. Just today I heard that crazy Kanye West was very mad at twitter because they 'allowed' someone to pretend to be him on their site and gain almost 1 million followers. Oh come on Kanye, big deal! Twitter is a bit too much for me, I am not really in love with it, but I don't hate the idea of it either. What do you think of it? Do you have an account, and how often do you update it? Who do you follow, is it mostly your friends or celebrities? I follow mostly my friends, and only a few celebrities. I'll share my link if you are interested in what I'm up to haha. http://www.twitter.com/j00nior

Could you ever see yourself giving in and moving on over to twitter? I have abandoned my myspace pages. Trends exist on the internet as well and I can see twitter becoming the next must have social networking tool, if it isn't at that phase already. I mean it is being endorsed by CNN and Oprah Winfrey!

Yeah, it's all the hype right now. I don't have the time for it. I barely have time to keep up with facebook.

Hi. I am too not a big fan of twitter. I think i sit not my cup of tea and it is a bit strange for me to see that something like that has such a huge fan following.

Very interesting, do you have an account more for the purpose of making money, or is it because you are more interested in what celebrities are up to? How many followers do you have?

Facebook, Myspace, 3 email accounts, a website, and half a dozen forums I belong to take up most of my time!.... whats twitter? Just kidding. Gah I don't know why it's getting so popular! Although I do use my phone to txt more then I do to talk I just don't know who would want to know what I'm doing all the time... ;( not too many people interested or have time to read about my boring yet busy life!

I am not sure what it is all about, if it is on a mobile i don't want anything to do with it as my mobile is only for emergencies, I have had one invitation on my computer but i declines as i don't know emough about it, i think facebook and Myspace is enough for me.
