Twitter is Growing Like Crazy: Up 422% in 12 Months

I am on twitter and use it a bit because I have found it an easier way to get the attention of some people in the Ruby community.

Anyways, I still feel like I don't really get Twitter. I read the NYT article, and i understand that many people don't subscribe to blog feeds, but I don't really get the point.

The only time I find it really useful is that it forms an impromptu chat room at any event by following the event name. Such as when I am at conferences you can view everyone's comments on the current speaker.

Anyone able to make me 'get it'?

Find a guy who cares about it, preferably in real life eg a sibling you rarely see. You eventually get addicted to the constant updates.

oh and get a client - i like twhirl & twitterfox

I mostly use it through twitterrific, when I have some down time and my phone is handy.
