Why is everyone so serious this morning?

People described it - a web page that lets your update it with your thoughts and opinions - groundbreaking technology - it'll revolutionise the web.
Ah - so it's a web page that you can update then? Yeah, those have been around for quite a while now. The 'tweet' thing is just micro-blogging. It's the same old concept, but now with smaller updates. The people using it feel they ought to use it to express themselves using this 'new' technology, but as with any kind of media, only 99.9% have anything interesting to say. So it's stupid to blame website or the technology. Just blame everyone else for being so very dull.

It's not so much that Twitter is shit, it's that a lot of people who use Twitter are dull. I have a twitter account I've blogged about 3 times and none for about 6 months and yet I still get people following me on Twitter which is amusing in of itself.
