My Twitter Experience

I have mixed feelings about twitter.  I don't feel like I've really gotten anything out of it.  I don't really know if maybe I am just not following the right people but I constantly feel like it is a stream of useless information, with a spattering of good things here and there, but they get lost in the clutter.  I guess I don't understand how it could be an effective communication tool, although I get how ideally it should if everyone always had important posts to make, but I just think that it is kind of a pain to keep up with.  I will probably continue to sign on and off here and there, but in the end I do not really see a purpose for it in my life.  I just feel like it is a trendy thing that everyone wants to be a part of, but I think in the end it hinders communication because even important things could be deemed unimportant because of the constant clutter of communication.
