it's way too early for the lunch thread.
Twitter is more annoying that facebook. It's literally everyone just talking about themselves all the time. As far as I understand it, every tweet is just "LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME". Baldmnkey probably loves it.

I have 3 twitter accounts - a work one for promoting the company, a personal one and an anonymous one that I hardly use.

Twitter is about sharing links, information etc not like FB at all. I like it as it's a quick and easy way to share stuff. There is a lot of shit (don't bother following celebrities as it's pointless and dull) but you can filter the crap using a third party tool like Tweetdeck.
