However, there are many legitimate uses for twitter. It is micro-blogging. It is not what you're doing, but what are you thinking. That's the more important question. The web is all about information exchanges. If there's someone that shares similar passions with me, that has relevant thought processes, I'd like to follow them, and stay on top of any new trends/info they've run across. I use it as a medium to communicate, and learn from others. I think over the last few months, Twitter has earned it's place as the premier micro-blogging api. I think that there are limits to what I'm interested in, or what twitter should be used for. I do not want to keep up with NBC news on twitter, I'd rather watch the news or read the articles as they appear through RSS. I get the hyperbole thing that surrounds Twitter is annoying.
