It seems to be a common perception that people on Twitter only talk about the coffee they drink and when they cut their toe nails. I won't say this is wrong, as there are many people who do. In fact the amount of utterly boring and useless talk on Twitter is shocking. However, the seem goes for people you meet in the so called "real" life - ever listened to conversations on a bus? The advantage on Twitter is that you can search for the one who have something to say you like to hear. I have learned an awful lot via Twitter. It has created business opportunities for me. And, most importantly, I have made new, "real" friends because of Twitter, people I now also email, phone and visit. So don't underestimate it, Barry - it *can* work!
