Explaining Twitter

Eh? "This video is not available in your country"

Wow, so that's what I've been missing out on huh? A giant whale that punishes those who float in a specially delineated section of the troposphere then, huh?
Maybe someone will make a nice educational video like this to tell me how much I've missed out on by not having myspace, Facebook, LinkedIn, a blog of my own, EHarmony, etc... Until then I guess I'll just go on living a semblance of a life in the real world and occasionally distracting groups of neurons with the small online communities in which I take part.

I use twitter to get updates from news sources like CNN Breaking News, CNet, and several tech blogs. This has worked out really well. They usually provide a link to a longer story, so if I am interested, I will click the link to go to their site.

I use the twitter fox application, so I can see the new tweets as they come in, even if I am not on twitter.com. This is a great way to see all of the information I am interested in, without spending time going to various different websites throughout the day.

I don't use twitter to read any personal updates. I have facebook for that.

I'm actually a traveller from the 20th century...

I've just been stuck here in the 21st century for, oh, nine years or so, trying to find my way back.

Help.

"Twitter, the new social media for the terminally stupid (which means anyone with a public education from the 1980’s on, probably qualifies)."

Kids these days. When I was their age, I blogged 12 miles in the snow every morning. And liked it!
