As recently as two weeks ago, i didn't really get what twitter was all about nor did i care. I reluctantly gave it a shot and i must say, I'm hooked. If you're a twitter user and would like to be added by other YCers, post your Twitter name below.
I'm at the "I don't get what twitter is all about nor do I care" phase. What was it about twitter that got you hooked?
I was really skeptical as well; in fact I've only had an account for 2 or 3 days now. Part of the appeal is similar to that of HN. For the most part, it's still mainly used by the early adopter, tech-savvy crowd. And, from what I've observed, the brevity of the messages actually seems to encourage dialogue: people are a lot more willing to to say something to you or read something you send them if they know it only involves a couple of sentences.
