In my experience twitter is just a bunch of marketers trying to sell each other stuff. More specifically, it's a bunch of marketers' tweetdeck accounts trying to sell stuff to other marketers' tweetdeck accounts.

It seems like twitter is so widely used because businesses think they have to use it. They make their account, have a third-party app post stuff for them periodically and assume they've made the right choice.

Am I wrong? Are there people out there who use it for more personal reasons like keeping in touch with friends? I'm sure there are a few but predominantly, I think it's a business tool. The problem is that businesses are assuming the general public are on the other side listening to them but I know I'm not.
