Twitter

Why is everyone talking about Twitter recently?? Twitter is a site where you can drop messages of maximun 140 chars. You can follow other users and read their messages/notes. People say that it is fun and easy to just drop a line from time to time.

I am also on Twitter and you can follow me at my username _houdini or even the full site with messages of people I am following...but I have absolutely no idea about the sense of this site. I will give it a try though.
Anyone of you on Twitter?
