You know when you are in a busy bar and you can just catch tiny snippets of everyone else's conversations - you don't get much information but you might be able to tell if a fight is about to break out? Twitter is that for the internet.
(If you disagree, you can tweet me @Merrion  )

I also have never tweeted or even been on there but have heard a lot about it. It has absolutely no interest for me.

We're in the same camp. I don't see the point. But it does seem to be getting more popular. Though I don't understand why.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

Because more and more people are relying on social networks like Twitter and Faceslap to communicate. When you go to a restaurant or any other place where there are a lot of people watch them, there heads are turned down into there phones. I went to a concert a while back and it was unbelievable how many people were playing with there phones while the concert was going on. Alan Parsons Project of all concerts, the guy is phenomenal.

Why don't you tweet this?

Facebook is where you tell lies to your friends.
Twitter is where you tell the truth to strangers.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

 Sounds like sig material.

Also there is a phenomenal amount of very close up pictures of genitals on it.

It's social multicasting.
or it can be used to talk directly to others and media outlets.
or it can be used as a shill for entertainment Example: https://twitter.com/Real_Bin_Laden[^]

My "side" business is causing me so many head-aches its funny. I mean, when you do personal coding projects you can take short-cuts right?
1) The label printer is installed on a computer on the network, works fine for shipping labels from C#. Until I moved to my "big" dev. machine. Suddenly it refused to take margins and paper size requiring me to "enumerate" through allowed papers sizes. But, every other machine it works fine!
2) The old Win 7 box that I use for "operations" happens to be 32 bit. Well, that means the web cam gets detected differently so I have to scan for the USB id instead of the name
3) Google let's you use their SMTP, unless you are dumb enough to use it from a different machine, then it will programmatically lock you out.
4) xtraReports designer v11 worked fine in 2010 but not in 2013 because of an Odd error that should have never been an error! Forced upgrades
5) My shipping provider EasyPost (awesome, btw, Chris you should get them to do adds here) rejected a valid address in the Address Validation so now I need a manual address correction workflow.
No rant, its fun, just, once again, surprising that no matter how small the project the standard process is really the correct process ... at least I was using source control from the beginning.

BBC iPlayer have put more of their archive on the system and I stumbled across this one this morning:

Fascinating to see how they view the up and coming microprocessor, even more amazing is to get to see a technology program and not get a mention of Microsoft etc. Probably as they were only a couple of years old!
Also shows you how far technology has advanced in the last 35+ years.

Very neat. This ought to be required viewing for anyone learning about computers.

Back in the good old days when microchips were soldered together from discrete components...

Fascinating programme.
I think they say, if I remember from watching the programme, that a chip has 266,000 transistors(back in 1978).
An i7 has in the region of 2 billion transistors.
[edit]
I am out by a factor of about 10 on the 1978 count above(29k not 266k) and slightly over generous on the i7 -Transistor count history[^]
