what is the point of Twitter?

it Twitter a symptom of American Narcissism?

Reality is that the people following one person wants to know what goes on in their lives (they don't have anything more interesting to do so thats why they like it so much. Also it eases boredom as I have found when I can do nothing but sit all day) And I mean its not bad and its not good. It may actually be healthy because sometimes you tweet what you think just to get it out of your head and never have to think about it again.

When I first researched it years ago - it was marketed as a way to "fill the gaps between Facebook updates."

Twitter is a Site Where you Update your Status in 140 Characters or Less Thats Basically It you Can Mention Topics and People in Tweets and Message People and Decorate your Profile a little Bit But Thats Pretty Much All it Is Kinda Pointless But Thats What it is
