"The problem is the people who operate them aren't..."

Absolutely. Hence why Twitter is popular.

@Greg - ouch. I think that'll turn out to be a very '2009' answer. Twitter is entirely what you make of it. Wheter you listen to people saying they just drank a cup of tea or the likes of Lance Armstrong discussing health issues or even Iranian reporters giving live updates on the country's political situation is entirely up to you. Until Facebook Twitter has no preconceived form, how you tweet and whom you follow will decide your own individual experience.

^^ I rest my case.

And if I am wrong, I duly note that it is still 2009 at the time of typing anyway!

didn't affect me at all.

twitter's great but it is a grower. you need to find some good people to follow and build up your own followers. which does take time if you're an average joe.

but the astronomical growth has to be taken with a pinch of salt. hardly any of my real friends are on it and, of those who are, a tiny fraction have actually embraced it properly.

i find there are a lot of tech journos giving each other pats on the back. or is that just the people i'm following?! ;-)

the TR twitter account is still a bit pants though. little more than an RSS feed.
