As far as I can tell, the fun of Twitter is not in tweeting myself or in following people I know personally, but instead in following public figures -- celebrities, journalists, athletes, politicians, musicians. Here's what one gets from Stephen Colbert, for example:
I'm also enjoying Ezra Klein, Andy Roddick and Rob Dyrdek. Andy's life consists of four things: "going to the track," "practice," "eating!!!!!" and "watching the BB game". Dyrdek occasionally shares pics of his two bulldogs and seems to have a staff dedicated to finding funny youtube videos for him to share on Twitter. You could use it less for entertainment and more for utility: local businesses, theaters, restaurants, community organizations, non-profits, etc Twitter too.

I don't follow Twitter, nor do I Tweet. I have enough on-line stuff I go through every day. Facebook is enough for me.
I've been disappointed with Facebook since its changes. Don't feel connected to people the way I felt before. News feed is all full of people's quizzes that I don't care about with no news about who's friending whom.
I agree. Too many quizzes, not enough updates on my friends. It's like they have "younger-ized" it.
