<p>Whether you admit it or not, I&#8217;m sure if you went back to your first couple of tweets, you could easily fit into the group of people this video is referring to. Who&#8217;s at fault for this entire class of Twitter user? I blame Twitter itself. Take a look at Twitter&#8217;s definition of itself:</p>
<blockquote><p>Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: <strong>What are you doing?</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>How many of you know someone that strictly uses Twitter for that reason alone? I sure don&#8217;t. And if I did, I wouldn&#8217;t be following them in the first place. Therefore, I don&#8217;t know any. Keep up.</p>
<p><a href="http://omgirock.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/what-is-twitter-1.jpg" rel="shadowbox[post-131];player=img;"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-136" title="what-is-twitter-1" src="http://omgirock.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/what-is-twitter-1-250x193.jpg" alt="what-is-twitter-1" width="250" height="193" /></a>I guess the success of Twitter stems from the fact that we are able to adapt Twitter to what we want it to be. Personally, I love the fact that Twitter offers a platform for open conversation. If you want to join in, you can @ or #hash in. If you just want to be an observer, you can follow the conversation with ease and be totally in control.</p>
<p>Why do you use Twitter?</p>
