Do You Twitter?
 

I set up an account last year when I was at Web 2.0 Expo... and then kind of left it alone.

But recently, I added it to my Google Talk, and have been getting great updates from EnGadget and Mashable, Guy Kawasaki, etc.

I also signed up for the NowInStock Twitter updates so I can be alerted when there are Wiis available online.

Essentially, its microblogging. What are you doing right now?

It can help you get out of jail if you are ever arrested in Egypt.

I think the examples you gave show Twitter's proper use as RSS-esque quick update tool.

What disgusts me are the thousands of people who use Twitter to keep people up to date with the incredibly insignificant bullshit that goes on in their lives.
