I think that twitter is a fad. Why should people want to know what is going on in everyone else's life? I do think that it is a great idea for news companies though so that people will be able to stay informed wherever they are. However, within a period of a few months, I think that it will fade off and average people will only continue to use it for news updates and not to post their entire life. The simple fact is, people don't care what you are doing right now.
