They don't like to admit using it not until they hit upon a usage they can describe with a methphor that sounds more important than goofing off. @Kas – I think everyone, upon first using Twitter, has a stong emotional reaction against it.

That's the worst kind of ignorance, IMHO: condemning something you don't understand. I suppose it's possible some of those who don't understand Twitter don't *know* that they don't understand it. They *think* they understand it. But still.

I have had the same experience. It reminds a little bit of a time 10 or 15 years ago when I used to try to explain the Internet to people who only knew about email and AOL. Great post.
