I'm with the author of the article on this one. Call me egotistical all you want but yeah, I tried Twitter for a few days and got really bored with it. The author's complaints basically mirror my short Twitter experience. If I tweet something and literally have 2 or 3 followers who will see it, why not just send an Sms? Pointless.

So, I need a larger group of followers, no? But what motive does Twitter have to get me to bust ass and try to build a follower base? None. I already took the time to build a friend base some other social network and I'm in no mood to start that process again.

As a means of getting up-to-the-minute news and information,Twitter excels. But yeah, count me out.
