What We Like: Do you wish you could keep up with your friends without them droning on and on in e-mails or IMs? Twitter gives you that ability, as well as bringing you updates from celebrities, your favorite blogs, or any other user you sign up to "follow." Brevity is key, as posts, aka Tweets, are only 140 characters long at most and basically act like Facebook's status updates. You can update via text message and there's no emphasis on posting pictures or personal information, so it feels a little less stalker-friendly. Then there's always the chance you'll hear about a breaking news story, like the guy who Twittered from the plane that crashed into the Hudson. Talk about excitement!

"...and chat about egg substitutions without getting perved on by lecherous Internet lurkers."

Twitter is dumb. If you have a facebook, you can do everything that Twitter does and much much more.

I prefer MySpace before facebook, and Bebo/Aim before facebook, and Twitter before face book. I find facebook pointless, colorless, lacking in creativity and just plain boring. Twitter is not as bad but limitted just the same.
