I don't understand the point of Twitter.

Why would i want to know what someone else is doing every moment of the day?

Why has trying to live your own life gone out of fashion and been replaced by being a cyber stalker?

Scott Dalton has a list of Boston fans on Twitter, obviously it's not exhaustive but it's not bad.

@scottydalton/boston-fans is the list name.

Aggy: It's difficult to explain, you either get it or you don't.  It's not so much about knowing the minutiae of peoples life more about being connected to a network where you can read how current events are influencing people as they happen.  It forms a time-line of current events and the opinions people form on those events as they happen.  This has never been possible before and provides an excellent opportunity for social experiment.
