Why on earth would anyone think that geeks love Twitter?

I know HOW to use Twitter, I just haven't found a good reason WHY to use Twitter.

The only useful experience I've had on Twitter has been when following a thread of tweets duing a live web cast. The entire time the thought going through my head was how much better and easier this would be if they had set up an IRC chat room instead of using Twitter.

I'm also not sure why people think that anyone has trouble figuring out how to use Twitter. There just isn't enough to it to confuse anyone. I think my biggest issue was not knowing Twitter etiquette and whether to put the #tag at the end or the beginning of the 140 characters. I've also been disappointed that you cannot prevent a user from following you without blocking them entirely, but this is explained in the help documentation.

I don't think the question is how, its why. Personally I pretty much use Twitter when its either the best or only option available. Its never been the best option, but there have been occasions when its been the only one. I'm sure this will cease to be the case when the fad fades and Twitter passes into obscurity as so many other internet fads have done.
