This tweeting thing is a "Killer", he quits then says he over-reacted, what gives with this tweet thing? Art Linkletter said it best "Kids say the strangest things"!(or something in those terms).
People who don't really use twitter look at it as more social networking. It's actually the fastest and easiest way to get information. I follow politicians, publications, websites, news stations, beat writers, and would choose that anyday over following an athlete or friend. It's way better than searching online for news and information. You choose what you want to receive and it comes straight to you. Until there is a better way to get info like that, it will be around. It will be around for a long, long time, unless someone takes the idea and makes it better.
