Quoting chrisWhite

It's weird to me that Twitter isn't more popular among the college demographic (or so I've read). I can understand why Facebook may appeal to them more but Twitter seems like it ought to be compelling to them too.

Honestly, it's a lot more useful as a news-gathering tool than it is keeping up with friends. When I was in college, I didn't give a shit what my friends were doing; Twitter, billed as it was then, was entirely unappealing to me. Whatever they were doing couldn't possibly be satisfactorily expressed in 140 characters.

I know I'm odd, but maybe there are others like me.
