Eighteen months ago I signed up to Twitter to see what all the fuss was about – I very quickly decided I hated it. ‘I am doing this’, ‘I have just done that’ – why do I need to know this? Another form of communication that I had to keep tabs on. I already have IM, email and a mobile phone why would I choose to run another application to monitor something that I’m not interested in? BAH!
