"The Twouble with Twitters"
The trouble with twitter is that most of us don't know who actually reads our tweets. It could be that other twitter users actually care what we have to say, but it is more likely that your twitter situation sticks to one or more of the following scenarios. One, it is possible that no one cares that you love cookies. Two, it is also possible that people you do not know will see your updates, and will care in a bad way or spam you (I know I've gotten a follower that seemed like an inappropriate spam account). Three, your real friends might actually find your constant tweeting annoying and rude, as it takes you away from social activity.
That being said, there is a place for microblogging. For example, I understand the use of twitter in the case of celebrities. I understand the use of twitter as a marketing tool. I understand the use of twitter for comedic purposes. But not as social network.
