Still, when a quake hits (I'm in California), Twitter beats heck out of the news media. And Iran news was also very valuable.
Interesting POV.. (as is the other guy re: custom searches).. but, while I am a bit of an internet junky; I already have this forum, the Meego Forum, a third forum, Facebook, IRC, and email to keep up with. Adding another site, that performs damn near identical functionality to a site I'm already on (actually somewhat less.. as it's status only, and doesn't include all the fancy games, quizzes, and other junk that I no longer actually use ) - is just not worth it to me.

It's just that this guy was saying that such-and-such an event was happening, and he sounded interested. He said he didn't have Twitter like I'd say I don't have an iPad. But he could get Twitter in less than a minute, check out the event, and delete his account later. I couldn't do that with an iPad -- I'd have to buy one first.

So it was good to get an explanation of your point of view.
I agree 100%.. but at the same time: It'd have to be one helluva event to get me to go through that much work.. just to post a question. I probably would have taken your original quoted guys method too: Post here, someone else has twitter and can ask the question.
