RE: twitter
I think texting is absolutely fantastic. I hate small talk. I call the people I actually want to talk to, and text the people I just need to get information to. I work, go to school, fly my planes, and have a full life. I don't have a lot of time at home and I really don't want to be spending my precious home-time yapping on the phone with almost anyone, except a select few.
I have never used Twitter but don't know why I need to go online to one website to follow another one.
