OK I 'fess up; I used to think Twitter was a waste of time too. But over the
years I've now totally changed my opinion as I've discovered that you can use
it for a lot more things than low level vanity publishing. It is for example
superb for finding out about breaking news, is unexcelled as a means of
assessing the social zeitgeist and a lot more as well. If you need convincing
go to this website and enter a topic that interests you. You will then see
all the current tweets on that topic from the Twitterverse roll down your
screen. Many tweets are of course, of little value but there is enough good
content to make this a really valuable service. And no, you don't need a
Twitter account to use this free service. - Gizmo
