Twitter, Shall I??

It's weeks since I joined the Facebook bandwagon. - And I'm yet to figure out what to do with it.

I have got an ID and a password. I've put in a couple of pics of self and family. Then I was
told you got to invite your friends . So, I sent out a request to my friends to become my friends,which is embarrassing, if not altogether insane.

Now that I have got a handful of friends in my counter, I find that all I can do is:

1. Write/Read useless posts ("It's raining here!")

2. Suffer senseless, annoying quizzes ("Find out what ghost sleeps in your bedroom") and pass on the agony to friends

3. Add a few more friends (when I have no use for the bunch that's already there!)

4. Send messages (I already use a mobile & Email for this purpose)

5. Keep adding more pics (right, but WHY????)

I remember in my previous organisation, the entire bunch of executives where Orkut-freaks. The silly asses used to post something in their co-worker's Orkut profile AND THEN yell across the desk, "Hei! I posted a scrap on your Orkut profile!!".

The fellow-Orkutter-moron would then log in and read out aloud the earth-shattering scrap:
"Hi! What's up??"

AND, this is where it gets really maddening, the louse would put out a reply in Orkut and yell across the table: "I've replied to it"!

Blogging is different. It is my hobby and PanneerSoda will find its rightful place in my resume, when I do update it. May be I'm missing something here, but, in re Facebook, the best course of action I can think of is to forget my ID and password.

Now, I find everyone joining Twitter. Now, after my Facebook trial, I'm waiting. I'm weighing this against that. If I find that all that I will get out of Twitter is another set of ID & password, I shall know what to do about it!
