Is it just me, or does everyone else get the feeling that there are two Twitter communities out there? Personally, I follow friends, one or two announcement streams, and an influential figure or two in the Ruby community. Essentially, I use it as a quick tool to keep up to date on what's important to me.

Then it seems like there's everyone else who just discovered Twitter in the past month or two. These people seem to be either one of "I can follow my favorite celebrity! It's like I'm almost touching them..." or "I'm going to be huge and have lots of followers and feel important for it..." For them, Twitter is just the latest fad like Facebook, MySpace, Geocities, etc. before it.

I guess, even though I've been on Twitter for a while now, I still don't get it. Maybe I'm elitist? Maybe I'm becoming out of touch?

This really does not surprise me, as stupid things are known to hit the viral spot. On Facebook for example, most things that go viral are applications where you can throw sheep at your friends or pick your top 5 beers - I haven't yet tried a viral FB application that has been useful, it's kind of sad.

I'm all for good, original ideas, but I have to send a big 'who cares?' to this one...

Nice, but they should give the measurements in inches as well.
