What is Twitter?

Question: What is Twitter or better yet exactly what is the purpose of a Micro Blog? -signed Darrell

My Opinion: Twitter is yet another tool created by the under 27 year old work force, to waste time during working hours. Add this to your collection of "social networking" items.

or..... perhaps.... its.....

an insidious method for the government to track our every movement with us voluntarily providing them with the information of ... "what we are doing right now"

If I may go off on an opinionated tangent for a moment.....
Twitter may be an interesting tool for the CIA to use to track the activity of known terrorists... or perhaps the DEA to track the activity of known Drug Dealers and Drug Lords... here are the entries I envision:

Micki2fingers: Going to the docks to buy Vinnie new shoes

TonyBB: Leaving Vinnie's place now, he aint' home

LouLou: I got him meetcha at da docks

TonnyBB: where'd you pick him up?

LouLou: At the footlocker in the Short Hills Mall

Micki2fingers: from footlocker to davy jones locker LOL
