   i just read that most people are using twitter once and never coming    
   back again. i can understand why.   
      
   do we *really* need news THAT fast?   
      
   do we really need to know that 'joe' is leaving to go to the museum at    
   12:00?   
      
   another thing i noticed is i'm following all these people. i didnt even    
   use twitter on that account that much OR look at people's pages and i    
   have a shitload of people i'm  'following'.   
      
   even had jay hodges on there, i noticed this while he was complaining    
   about it. had no clue who i was following him, had no clue he was on    
   twitter.   
      
   maybe they're fabricating activity to keep it from dying.
