I agree for the most part; although, I am a Twitter user. But I don't use it to read other people's blogs (there is exactly one person I follow and read for entertainment). I use Twitter to record quick notes and observations for myself. It's a quick diary. The 140 character limit is often annoying, but does help to focus you on keeping messages brief and to the point... Then you have to ask what value is a diary? I don't know the answer to that.
