Is Twitter actually useful or is it a stealth method to get punters to sign up, ultimately 
leading to mass spam, mind control and ultimate cyberisation?

Most of the stuff I have seen referenced by Twitter appears to be mind numbingly boring guff,
viral marketing ploys or peripherally topical in the sphere of interest.

I do not consider myself old fashioned, but I am slow to adopt technologies that appear 
to be redundant.   Twitter doesn't bring anything to (my) table except more online 
pesterisation.

I think it should've been called "blowey" or "mozzie" instead.
