Twitter: MicroBlogging Wonder Tool or Irritating Distraction

I was reading my Twitter tweets recently when I saw this message:

 

It made me laugh not only because I know the person who twittered this but because i know his boss.

And so began an all day trend. 

Shortly thereafter I saw this complaint from Tim Bray to Scoble:

Then Cote posted about Twitter etiquette and link whoring.

Hey, I link-whore in (on?) Twitter all the time. That’s part of the point. But, it’s at least good to put a title in your link whores and try to space it out rather than carpet bombing it. I put up with the carpet bombing from news update feeds like Google News and ZDNet – but I’d rather they spaced them out. 

And then the Real Paul Jones added:

 

Is Twitter starting to equally irritate and fascinate us? Will Twitter continue to gain popularity or fail due to users total noun/verb confusion.

"I twittered twice about the twinkling twins as I read tweets in Twitterrific."
