Oh, I do understand why it's a catchy tool for teenagers who love to talk endlessly about mindless things but for grown-up business professionals, I just don't get it. For me it comes down to a thought-full expression of self, not just a rapid fire soundbite like IM-type conversation. We are not robots and shouldn't pretend to be like them. With that said, I do understand the curse of e-mail, especially lengthy e-mails but for serious conversation Twitter just doesn't cut it ... at least not for me.
