I never saw the point of Twitter. The idea always annoyed me.
Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead...

I don't. Is it like Facebook but only status updates instead?

I have a twitter account (kevin_burns) but only update haphazardly. I'm in charge of the Twitter account for the folks I worth for tho.

It's fine as a supplemental social networking platform, I don't like moves to turn it into a primary tho.

I was assaulted by goons yelling "Hizzin out" over and over. BeanCorp International can expect to hear from my lawyers in a multi-million dollar civil suit.

As far as I know, Beaneater stayed in his lair during the attack.

I feel old for not seeing the point of it. Either that, or I am right.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.
