Tim / Komete,

Stick with twitter for a little while, see if you find value in it after giving it a fair shot. Start by adding the Icrontic guys, and I can suggest some really good tech people to follow.

Once you get into it, its really an addictive experience. The instant gratification it offers, and its simplicity is second to none.

Not to mention the new friends you can make. Without twitter, I would probably never have stumbled onto Icrontic, so its added allot of value for me personally.

Don't write it off, give it at least a week or two of day to day evaluation, see if you make a few new friends, or find some creative uses for the service. Its so simple, yet so amazing.
