I don't get the allure of Twitter but I know that's because I haven't made the investment to figure it out, and don't actually know what it does. If I signed for an account and started using it I'm sure I'd figure out a way to make it give me some benefit.

I tried twitter for the first time last week. It was unimpressive.

It showed me several pictures of whales, and then finally I got to type in 140 characters.

IM/IRC is just a lot more useful IMHO
