Could Someone Please Explain to Me...

...what the hell this Twitter hoop-la is all about? I signed up for it and use it because someone said that if you write for pay, it's good to get into 'social networking.'

But for the life of me I can't figure out what good it does. So far it seems it's just a plaything for the rich and famous to feed their narcissism. I mean, who the hell wants to know what somebody else is doing, minute by minute, except for stalkers?

Maybe I'm missing something here. If someone cares to enlighten me, I am open to being educated in the vast beneficial intricacies of Twitter...

Sheesh.
