    I "follow" the ASP surfers & some random porn stars. Kinda entertaining when your taking a dump.

    Never got into Twitter. I don't have time post every time I do a insignificant thing in my life

    LOL, you do on swell info - Just kidding. ITs pretty cool, i wouldnt sit on a computer and "twat" all day, but if you have an app on your phone - It is pretty insightful - everything happens up to the minute.

    It can be a waste of time depending on how and what you use it for. If your following the Kardashins and the Jersey shore cast and tweeting about your dinner, then your wasting your time.

    On the flipside, if you follow useful media/news outlets (NPR news, XPN music, World Cafe concerts, job postings, surf Industry news and reports etc. then it actually becomes a powerful tool - that consolidates all of your media/news outlets into one list (instead of checking 5 or 6 different websites)

    I probably wouldn't have one if I didnt have an android...
