Twitter.

Twitter is one of those things I don't quite get. It seems simple enough but like a lot of the web it's always seemed like a solution looking for a problem. Yes, I know about the tweets coming out of China and Iran, and while I stopped being dismissive of it because of that I still wonder if it isn't just the Friends Reunited of the moment. I heard recently that Facebook is starting to become slightly uncool among the Gen X-ers Gen Y-ers* not just because of the current appeal of Twitter but also because their parents are starting to sign up and social network at them in front of their friends, and I suspect that sooner or later something similar will happen to Twitter. But over on the LPUK blog I noticed this and this, so perhaps I should get into it (and Facebook since it too has similar groups I'd support if I used it) while it's still worth it.

*Corrected when Mrs Exile pointed out that I've got Generation X and Y the wrong way round again. This may be typical for a Gen X bloke on a Friday night.

Heh!

At least, before computers, if mum wanted to read all your darkest secrets, she had to find your diary first. Now, she just types into a search engine and gets the shock of her life... :)
