I have no idea what the frig "generation" I'm supposed to be in.
I don't use Twitter because very little I find worth saying fits into the character limit. Twitter precludes any explanation or citation, so one can really only state a thesis or a single out-of-context fact. The sound-bite nature is just rather off-putting to me.
That said, I'm glad the thing exists. It seems like it probably gives people an outlet for the impulses that would otherwise lead to (for example) randomly shouting things in the streets.
