They're all talking about using it, blogging about how great Twitter is, there are news articles about celebrities having followers, etc. If it's so great and we should all be using it, why are people talking about it instead of using it?

good point – it's a really mundane and incredibly detailed way to create a journal of your life that years from now you probably won't (but may) look at and reflect back.

And to meet people from around the world who share some common interest with you. That's just cool. I think with all digital things, it will take time for the general population to use it. There are still about half of the US not connected full time to the internet. It will be interesting to see what happens as technologies increase and more of the "not connected" get online.
